The present study aims to conduct a content analysis of three works published by medical Antônio Austregésilo Rodrigues de Lima, seeking information on the sexual behavior and attitudes of the early twentieth century in Brazil, which make up significant primary sources, but unknown on Sexual Education. Austregésilo − known as one of the forerunners among the authors who wrote about sexuality − is the author of the earliest work on sexuality found in the period: Psiconeuroses e sexualidade. I - a neurastenia sexual e seu tratamento, 1919. We found in his works descriptions about the sexual attitudes and behaviors in Brazil, in the first decades of the twentieth century, which had as theoretical assumptions hygienists and eugenicists ideals disseminated by Medicine for the period. Finally, the research is of historical nature, using as research techniques to bibliographic and documentary research, carried out from the analysis of primary sources, with theoretical support based on authors who develop studies on the mentality and behaviors in structured society period as well as the context of the historical moment in which the works were written. Thus, given the absence of a historiography of Sex Education in Brazil systematized and organized, this research contributes to a part of the reconstruction of the historical period in which there was the institutionalization of the discourse on sex education and sexuality
