This paper analyses aspects of the discursive production of heteronormativity at a regional intersection. Inspired by post-critical perspectives, we assume discursive-deconstructionist problematizations about prescriptive or contesting sexual experimentations and forms of regulation, of normalization or of gender contestation. We try to understand how the body constitutes itself as a discursive materiality of practices and of heteronormative regulation manners, also considering this process on compulsory heterosexuality haunts. This work is part of a research project concerning pedagogical practices in Physical Education at school and its field investigation and interlocutions were produced at Vale do Jiquiriçá/BA, in the countryside of Bahia State, Brazil. The discoveries of this study show an imbricate relation between body, gender and sexuality in regional ways of life experience, and so we sustain the relevance of particularizing the life style of the place as a fundamental element in the problematization about those three issues.
