The ambiguous desire related to valorized men in the gay club and to “cafuçus” (rude and black men of working classes) is a way of comprehension about these mobilities. The interseccionalities among social markers of diff erences – as social class, colour/race, sexuality and gender – are considered in the analysis. This erotic desire walks along with interdictions and supposes some deriva between conventions and transgressions which is also present in the itineraries done by this men looking for erotic fantasies.
