Sex education in Argentina has been the subject of contentions and disputes. From a socio-semiotic perspective, we will address the relationships between the different discursive positions that were blocked in the processes of formulation of this public policy. The sanction of the law that obliges the educational system of the entire country to implement comprehensive sex education in schools is part of a historically settled field of disputes, involving discursive formations related to biomedicine, human rights, religion, and feminist movements. The article genealogically investigates the long-term tensions between feminist positions and religious conservatisms that cross different fields of dialogue, disputing the legitimacy and acceptability of their arguments. The analytical articulation of interdiscursivity with genealogy allows us to account for the tactical nuances that challenge dichotomies and irreducible positions in the power struggles to define the scope and meaning of sexual education.

Palabras clave : Comprehensive Sex Education; Sexual Rights; (non) Reproductive Rights; Discourses; Socio-Semiotics.
