Abstract

In 2006, the Health and Culture Departments of the city of Suzano (state of São Paulo) established a partnership to implement the project Pavio Erótico, which is an Erotic Soirée that promotes films exhibitions, poems recitations, dialogs between the participants, literature interpretations, theater, dance, music, besides the distribution of contraceptives and folders. The material stimulates the discussion of human sexuality in light of safe sexual practices. It is a quarterly event and the target audience is composed of writers, poets, artists, teachers and the community in general. Some of the results obtained with the project are: incentive to reading and to erotic art; dissemination of the health services, enabling the expansion and the access to examinations, instructions and contraceptives; and the organization of the 1st Erotic Literature Contest of Suzano. This innovative proposal promotes the development of culture in the city and expresses the health conception in which the focal point is not the disease.
