This work, which is inserted in the theoretical and methodological framework of Discourse Analysis of science communication and associated with the Theory of Representations, aims to analyze the linguistic and discursive processing of information on thematic topics traditionally seen as taboo, those ones related to sexual issues that represent man and woman, and published during the year 2008 in Superinteressante, a Brazilian magazine of scientific dissemination; highlighting how knowledge is socially represented when considering the editorial line of the magazine. The results of our analysis show that the Superinteressante promotes a closer relation between the scientific-technical information and the typical concepts of the usual social relationships, advertising and, at the same time, fostering the curiosity about the knowledge that involves human sexual aspects. However, the magazine in question does not seem to be just a vehicle for dissemination of knowledge whose only scope is to make information more accessible, but rather, it demonstrates its communicative purpose is to be ironic about topics considered taboo, longing for a greater identification with their readership. Thus, the language of Superinteressante is not simply constituted of a divulgation record to the general public, but of a facetious language that informs and educates the reader on some knowledge of scientific feature, through anecdotes and humorous language games.
