SILVA, Luan Sampaio  and  CECCARELLI, Paulo Roberto. The faces of sexual (im)potence and male hysteria at psychoanalysis. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2019, n.51, pp. 89-103. ISSN 0100-3437.

This article aims to carry out a bibliographical review on sexual impotence and male hysteria from the perspective of psychoanalysis. And for this, various theoretical perspectives within psychoanalytic theory, ranging from Freud (1856-1939) to post-Freudian and contemporary authors, were traversed to interweave psychoanalytic productions about men who present “erectile dysfunction” in their attempts at sexual intercourse, as well as Relationship between these “impotent men” and male hysteria. From the studies carried out, it was noticed that, certain theoretical points are elucidated according to the theoretical perspective adopted within psychoanalysis, however, all point to one factor: the unconscious psychic conflict that manifests itself through the symptom of sexual impotence.

Keywords : Impotence; Male hysteria; Psychoanalysis.
