Twitter, as a cultural device, allows users not only informative posts, but also sexual and pornographic approaches. In this context, based on the theoretical contributions of cultural studies in education and studies of social networks in education, the article presents results of a research that aims to analyze how the sexual performances of a group of gay men on Twitter are constructed, highlighting discourses and pedagogies that educate the perspectives through these network interactions. The method was qualitative, descriptive and analytical, from a perspective of social network studies, in an approach to virtual ethnography. The results show the construction of analyzed profiles as performative displays of bodies, sexual organs and discourses that emphasize sexualities constructed on and for the screens. Such performances are full of pedagogies that guide ways of being gay and the education of social perspectives in the era of connectivity.
