AB The aim of this article is to outline the main lines of discourse in Spanish socialism regarding sexual deviations, from the founding of the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) to the end of  the  Second  Republic.  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.
