This paper provides a reflection that emerged in the context of the last electoral process carried out in Costa Rica, in February 2018. Specifically, it presents lines of analysis to address the way in which sexuality has become a privileged area of social life, when it comes to managing and controlling the bodies of individuals, as well as the behavior of the popula- tions they make up. To this end, the notions of body and sexuality are reviewed, along with their permeability to social practices and, therefore, their susceptibility to transformation, manipulation, management and direction, as they operate as axes of government. Then, it analyzes sexuality as a space of “governmentality”, in relation to localized or “micro” administrations, to arrive at its reflection in the electoral debates, focused unilaterally on issues related to sexuality, leaving aside other more decisive ones. El presente escrito brinda una reflexión surgida en el contexto del último proceso electoral llevado a cabo en Costa Rica, en febrero del 2018. Específicamente, presenta líneas de aná- lisis para abordar la forma en la que la sexualidad se ha convertido en una zona privilegiada de la vida social, cuando de gestionar y controlar los cuerpos de los individuos se trata, así como el comportamiento de las poblaciones que estos conforman. Para ello, se revisan las nociones de cuerpo y sexualidad, su permeabilidad a las prácticas sociales y, por lo tanto, su susceptibilidad a la transformación, la manipulación, la gestión y la dirección, en tanto operan como ejes de gobierno. Luego, se pasa a analizar la sexualidad como espacio de “gubernamentalidad”, relacionada con administraciones localizadas o “micro”, para llegar al reflejo de ello en los debates electorales, centrados de manera unilateral en cuestiones referidas a la sexualidad, dejándose de lado otras más decisivas.
