From the perspective of intertextuality, this text discusses the relationships between behavior, images, context and imagination, by focusing on sex and the places that are considered ideal for sexual practices. Spaces of intimacy, both inside and outside of the home, which are equipped with specific physical and visual props, are analysed by means of their decorations and representations, from the18thcentury to the present day.
