Abstract

COUTO, Luis Flávio Silva  and  JORDAO, Guilherme Pimentel. Notes about the phallic dimension of the orgasm in male homosexuality. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp. 263-282. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2018v24n1p263-282.

Once all the sexual logic is phallic, it becomes necessary to verify the exclusion of the Other orgasm, known as feminine, and consequently, under the sexual discourse, the possibility of relation, given the privilege of the Same. Notwithstanding, homosexual love, insists, attaching mother and child in male sex, through the election of a narcissistic object, that projects maternal ideal on the partner, while subverting the logic of identifications. In order to situate the role of the phallus inside the homosexual dynamics of relationship, this article is guided by a theoretical freudo-lacanian review of that theme, towards the study of Jean Genet’s case. Genet describes in his The thief ’s journal an operation that illustrates the mechanism of inversion, from the theme of love for the rival itself, to that of the relegation of the phallic insignia to the condition of fetish, unveiling the particularity of the architecture of the homosexual style of desire

Keywords : Homosexuality; Phallus; Inversion; Sexual relation; Jean Genet.
