Sexual pleasure in Covid-19 times was the theme of the World Sexual Health Day 2020 celebration which motivated reflections resulting in this article. Contextualizing the Declaration on Sexual Rights, we initially approached sexuality education as an imperative and a right, emphasizing the scope of this education with children and adolescents, in the family, at school and in other socio-educational spaces. We discussed the issue of limited sexual pleasure in this time of social detachment, isolation and quarantine, as well as the consequent demotivation, frustrations, stress, fears and violence among people. In this sense, we hope to contribute to the discussion on this historical and exceptional situation, caused by this pandemic, e garding issues related to sexualities changes and experiences.
