Abstract

Based on the magazines Sou Mais Eu, Junior and Men’s Health Portugal, segmented, respectively, to the public feminine and from a popular class, gay and masculine and heterosexual, and based, as well, on the discussions about gender, time flow and sexuality, this article proposes a reflection about the senses that are moved about the body and about the passage of time. Although the body that is inserted in the established standards of beauty is relevant, for Sou Mais Eu, in general, the daily experiences and the challenges narrated by the readers, seem to be more important, in Junior and Men’s Health Portugal, to get old (or not get old, more properly speaking) are understood from a logic that inserts the body as an essential in what concerns access to a dominant position. Being young, there, represents a central element in the acquisition of a hegemonic position of masculinity.
