I had many encounters capable of expanding my sexuality, says Camila Pitanga

Camila Pitanga said she had many relationships throughout her life that helped her expand her sexuality and understand it. For her, sensuality should be more for those who exercise it than for others to see.

“It has to do with knowing how to dance, flowing in music, being free with my pleasure, my affections and what life brings me,” said the actress. “In a sexist society, there are few women who connect with their own pleasure. I had good partners who made me add new layers and phases.”

She said that she can speak with her mouth full that she has had several relationships, in which she loved a lot and was loved a lot.

“I’ve experienced moments of suffering in love, obviously, but I’ve always had very nice people,” he said in an interview with the newspaper O Globo.

The 47-year-old artist has been dating philosophy professor at the Universidade Federal Fluminense Patrick Pessoa for three years. In 2023, the actress said that she was in a conventional relationship and that she did not want the monogamous model. Before that, she dated artisan Beatriz Coelho for two years.

Camila and her father, Antonio Pitanga, are in the United States for a series of screenings and conversations about the film “Malês” at Harvard, Pennsylvania and Princeton universities. The production addresses the Malês revolt, which occurred in 1835 in Salvador. Led by Muslims, it was the largest insurrection of enslaved people in Brazil.
