This text aims the heteronormative dilemmas between the masculine and feminine identities, lived by fourteen women athletes who posed naked in the Playboy Magazine during the years of 1988 and 2012, bearing the argument of which these questions confront the feminine heteronormativity from esthetic and political tensions of gender and sexuality. It was a qualitative study which took a media product as an empirical field analyzed under the post-structural bias. As a result, it is possible to realize that the speech of these magazines carries out the political role of re-putting the feminine athletic body to the aegis of the feminine heteronormativity.
