Sexual diversity in the erotic market:

gender, interaction and subjetivities in a suburban nightclub in Rio de Janeiro

In this article, based on fieldwork conducted between 2004 and 2005 (Oliveira, 2006), I study the dynamics of erotic interaction at a nightclub located in the suburbs of the city of Rio de Janeiro, frequented by a predominantly lower class public, patronized by travestis, cross-dressing gays and their sexual partners.2 This nightclub is unique in the carioca GLS circuit, recognized by its patrons as the only club where “men don’t pay a cover”. Door fees are only charged for patrons whose gender performances are classified as “feminine”. Within the club, there are relatively well-lit public areas, labeled “back alleys”, used by clients to engage in sexual practices with one or more partners. Paying (“feminine”) patrons claim they frequent the club because there it is possible to
establish erotic interactions with individuals classified as “men” or “real men,” who are excused from paying entrance fees... (AU)
