description This text analyzes videos that have erotized situations linked to COVID-19, in which the use of gloves, masks, alcohol gel, or protective gear have represented the context of the pandemic, and that are referred to here as “pornography of confinement.” The aim of this article is to explore the characteristics of this type of pornography and analyze the links between such videos and demands upon the biopolitical subject, who is to be responsible for their own health. Approximately twenty-seven videos from the website Pornhub were reviewed, with special attention to ten that were entitled The Cleanest Porn Ever. All these materials aim to promote “safe sex” based on social distancing, viewing pornography, or learning hygienic techniques to avoid infection. Diverse theories, news stories, and data on this topic were used in the analysis. Among the key findings, pornography of confinement reflects the liberal subjectivity, as the individuals represented are not interested in strengthening social ties or participating in cultural change but rather in attending to their own immediate and individual needs. Finally, it is concluded that reality is simplified in this type of pornography by connecting people with “positive” emotions, discarding the potential for change that entails ties to the collective.

Los objetivos del artículo son explorar las características de este tipo de pornografía y analizar los vínculos entre tales videos y la exigencia hacia el sujeto biopolítico de que se responsabilice por su salud. Se revisaron alrededor de veintisiete videos de la página Pornhub, prestando especial atención a diez que fueron titulados The Cleanest Porn Ever. Todos estos materiales buscan promover el “sexo seguro” basado en el distanciamiento social, en la visualización de pornografía o en el aprendizaje de técnicas higiénicas para evitar el contagio. En el análisis se utilizaron diversas teorías, noticias y estadísticas sobre el tema. Entre los hallazgos encontrados sobresale que la pornografía del confinamiento es un reflejo de la subjetividad liberal, en la que los individuos no están interesados en fortalecer el lazo social o participar en modificaciones culturales, sino en atender sus necesidades inmediatas e individuales. Finalmente, se concluye que con este tipo de pornografía se simplifica la realidad al conectar a las personas con emociones “positivas”, descartando la potencia de las modificaciones que implican vínculos con la comunidad.Este texto analisa os vídeos que erotizaram algumas situações ligadas à covid-19, como o uso de luvas, máscaras, álcool em gel ou trajes de proteção, para representar o contexto específico da pandemia e que aqui se chama "pornografia" de confinamento". Os objetivos do artigo são explorar as características desse tipo de pornografia e analisar os vínculos entre esses vídeos e a demanda de que o sujeito biopolítico assuma a responsabilidade por sua saúde. Cerca de vinte e sete vídeos da página do Pornhub foram revisados, prestando atenção especial a dez que foram intitulados The Cleanest Porn Ever. Todos esses materiais buscam promover o “sexo seguro” baseado no distanciamento social, na visualização de pornografia ou na aprendizagem de técnicas de higiene para evitar o contágio. Diversas teorias, notícias e estatísticas sobre o assunto foram utilizadas na análise. Dentre os achados, destaca-se que a pornografia de confinamento é reflexo da subjetividade liberal, na qual os indivíduos não estão interessados ??em fortalecer o vínculo social ou participar de modificações culturais, mas sim em atender suas necessidades imediatas e individuais. Por fim, conclui-se que esse tipo de pornografia simplifica a realidade ao conectar as pessoas com emoções “positivas”, descartando o poder das modificações que implican vínculos com a comunidade.Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Sede Ecuador2022-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/xmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://iconos.flacsoandes.edu.ec/index.php/iconos/article/view/529710.17141/iconos.74.2022.5297Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; Núm. 74 (2022): Gobierno, educación y pandemia en América Latina; 177-193Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; n. 74 (2022): Governo, educação e pandemia na América Latina; 177-193Íconos.
