resumenBasado en una investigación etnográfica, el artículo reflexiona sobre las posiciones de identidad de los hombres que comercializan placeres sexuales en las calles del centro de Recife. El ano aparece como un símbolo importante para la masculinidad de los varones en el mercado sexual. Existe una clasificación que toma como criterio el uso del ano como mercadería sexual: boys ativos (nunca ofertan), boys pasivos (siempre ofertan) y boys flex (negocian su precio). Aunque parezca paradójico, pues su uso como fuente de placer deshonra al hombre, mas el ano se convierte en un símbolo de poder y sometimiento en las relaciones que se establecen en el comercio sexual; marcador de virilidad y de mayor valor. palabras clave: masculinidad; trabajadores sexuales; comercio sexual; prácticas sexuales. AbstrActGrounded in ethnographic research, the paper reflects on identity positions of men who sell sexual pleasures in the streets of downtown Recife. The anus appears as the major symbol of masculinity of men on the sex market. They are classified by the availability of their anus on the sex market: boys ativos (not available), boys bicha (easily available) and boys flex (price negotiable). Rare commodity, because of its use as source of pleasure to dishonor man, it becomes a symbol of power and subjugation in the relations established on the sex market; a marker of manliness and "more value".
