This research aims to contribute to an understanding of the meaning of sexuality for young black women and is based on constructionism in social psychology within an analysis of discursive practices. A literature review of theses and dissertations was carried out in the first stage, in order to examine the relevant discourse on the area studied. A strategic methodological choice was made to use three focus groups of young women who identified themselves as black and had contact with the Casa da Juventude Pe. Burnier (Father Burnier Youth Center), located in the municipality of Goiânia. During the first focus group the research aims were presented, the participants were introduced to one another, and expectations were raised about participating in a research project on the themes of sexuality and race. During the second focus group, a discussion was first held on various issues identified by the participants about what they had heard about the sexuality of black women, and in order to feed the debate, participants then heard themes taken from various theses and dissertations so that they could express their opinions about them as well. The third focus group discussed themes identified during the second focus group. An analysis was made using dialogue lists that allowed for aggregating various themes discussed under two main areas: a) The black woman as a sexual object: a perspective based on race and b) The black woman and sexuality: a question of race or gender? Through these two areas it was possible to identify the various meanings of sexuality as they intersected with ideas put forth by institutions such as the church, media and family. The participants demonstrated at the same time a desire to fully experience their sexuality without being bound to these institutions and apprehension about not adhering to the rules inherent in these three institutions. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the unfamiliarity of terms that serve to reinforce pejorative ideas about the sexuality of black women, opening the possibility of building new discourses
