Despite political ups and downs, since the restoration of political democracy, several Latin American states have advanced citizen inclusion and democratization in matters of gender and sexuality. Today, we are faced with nostalgic discursive and practical projects, authoritarian and sometimes violent, to return to a less democratic and plural order of gender and generation, which finds echo in adolescents and young people. How do the transformations in the modes of accumulation, access, and permanence in the labor market, social mobility, impact sociosexual experiences and relationships? What is sexuality and reproduction like today, and for the younger generations, as circulating commodities, producers of value, capital, "brands"? How are sexuality, reproduction, eroticism, and friendship lived, without the protection of intimate spaces, without unmediated conversations, without time to waste? Throughout the essay, we reflect on these questions in a context marked by the loss of vital references, in a world that makes radical uncertainty the universal experience of our time.
