Securing Sex: Morality and Repression in the Making of Cold War Brazil is a book by Benjamin A. Cowan published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2016.

The book also discusses how this "moral panic" made villains out of Communist and equating them to sexual deviants and queer people.

He discusses how the Right Wing activist use the military regime in Brazil to spread a very "modest" and "morally correct" population, attitudes, and laws.

He also goes through the years of the military dictatorship in relation to the certain topic of women being used as a tool to turn against rebels and how young men were seen as heroes.

[2] Bryan McCann begins his review as saying that Cowan's work is a "major contribution to our understanding of the Brazilian military dictatorship of 1964 to 1985".
