This text presents a review of the book “Physical Education and sexuality: educational challenges”, organized by Priscila Gomes Dornelles, Ileana Wenetz and Maria Simone Vione Schwengber, published by Editora Unijuí in 2017. The work comprises six chapters, with research conducted by renowned researchers who proposed to investigate the possible relationships between issues of gender and sexuality in the context of Physical Education, highlighting the contributions of this field of knowledge in the processes of strengthening perspectives of gender and sexuality determined from the anatomical and physiological characteristics of each individual. In summary, the researches presented serve as an indication that school Physical Education is characterized as a subject that, whether based on its discourse, whether through its pedagogical practices or its silencing, potentializes the normalization of behaviors based on the connection and dependence between the sex-gender-sexuality categories.

Keywords : Review; Sexuality; Gender; Physical education; Pedagogical context.
