An analysis is presented of A vida sexual (The sexual life), by Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz, in which the author divulged medical instructions about the sexed body. Complied in two volumes - "Physiology" and "Pathology" - in 1902, it was edited 19 times until it was censored under the Portuguese military dictatorship in 1933. In the work, Moniz devises a discourse of sexual differentiation anchored in an extensive bibliography produced between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in a context of intense debate about gender roles. Moniz drew on several theories to define sexuality - including eugenics and Freudian theory - to express his idea that "man is essentially sexual, woman is essentially mother."
本文对葡萄牙神经学家埃加斯·莫尼斯所著的《性生活》进行了分析。在该书中，作者透露了有关性别的身体的医学指导。该书于1902年汇编成两卷——《生理学》和《病理学》，在1933年葡萄牙军事独裁统治下被审查之前共编辑了19次。在这部作品中，莫尼斯设计了一种基于19世纪末20世纪初在关于性别角色的激烈辩论背景下产生的大量文献的性别差异论述。莫尼斯借鉴了包括优生学和弗洛伊德理论在内的几种理论来定义性行为，以表达他“男人本质上是性的，女人本质上是母亲”的观点。
