description Most accounts of Brazil have characterized this country as one of bodily freedom and unbridled sexuality.

This paper, however, aims to explore and to qualify such descriptions, which have been shaped in part by Inquisition sources focusing on deviations and transgressions instead of ‘conventional’ sexuality and ordinary love relationships.
