In this paper we discuss the positions of Christian leaders about "managing" the sexuality of young people, as contextualized by the sexual politics of the state. These reflections are a result of an ethnographic study, conducted through archival work, participant observation, and interviews with 47 religious leaders in Recife. The analysis shows the space of religion as a disciplinary site, operating through transcendent reasoning ("responsibility"). The person is expected to incorporate such reasoning, and thus, make the appropriate differentiations between "right" and "wrong". AIDS and adolescent pregnancy appear as a result of "temptations of the erotic flesh". Through the perspective of human rights and health, the article deconstructs the idea of the "flesh" as dominated by "temptation" and an "essential force", which leads the person to stray/sin/"risk"; resituating sexuality as a positive instance for subjects (of rights), and a condition for social fertility.

Los valiosos trabajos incluidos en este volumen fueron presentados en el Seminario Regional «Salud, Sexualidad y Diversidad en América Latina» que se llevó a cabo en Lima en febrero de 2005. El Seminario Regional fue organizado por el Proyecto «Sexualidades, Salud y Derechos Humanos en América Latina», de la Facultad de Salud Pública de la Universidad Cayetano Heredia, en colaboración con el Centro Latinoamericano de Sexualidad y Derechos Humanos (Instituto de Medicina Social, Universidad del Estado de Rio de Janeiro), y tuvo como objetivo contribuir a un intercambio entre académicas/os y activistas en relación con cuestiones de salud, sexualidad y derechos humanos, con un énfasis en la diversidad (principalmente de género y sexual, pero con una mirada hacia las dimensiones étnica, generacional y de clase social). Si bien este encuentro enfatizó las perspectivas de América Latina, dejó abierto un espacio para el diálogo con otras realidades globales.
