To do so, it draws on the press affiliated with this organisation, sexological essays and the minutes of sessions of the Cortes where some of these discursive approaches were also projected. Two stages are identified. In the first, situated between 1879 and 1919, the socialist proposals regarding sexual policy in relation to deviations such as prostitution, lesbianism, hysteria and nymphomania, and male homosexuality are explored. The second, set between 1920 and the end of the Republican regime, analyses how the explanation in terms of class and the denaturalisation of love under capitalism, established during the initial stage, was framed within the goals of the international movement for sexual reform, covering the problems of female inequality, divorce, eugenics, abolitionism, contraception and the use of homosexuality to disqualify rivals in the political contest. %K historia de la sexualidad %K socialismo %K masculinidad %K homosexualidad %~ Universidad de Cádiz
