The present work aims to promote a reflection in the field of sexuality through the approach of some fundamental concepts for psychoanalysis. How it conceptually delimits the body and enjoyment assist us in this task of articulating contemporary notions of sexuality and gender. The methodology used to prepare this article was based on the systematic study of productions from Campo Lacaniano, which take place once a week at NuPSaM (Nucleus of Psychoanalysis and Mental Health) at the Federal University of Vale do São Francisco. The text, which is now presented, was elaborated from the 1st Seminar of Psychoanalysis of Univasf. We know, with Freud, that sexuality is beyond the sexual instinct, promoting a rupture about genitals organs themselves. In this sense, there is a more comprehensive bodily function, linked to drives, which aim at objects that have nothing to do with a reproductive purpose. Such a perspective is crossed by the impossibility of sexual intercourse, so it does not cease not to write. Thus, what is at issue are the positions of enjoyment and the distinction of phallic enjoyment from Other enjoyment, a enjoyment that is supplementary and related to the enigma of the feminine. With this, anyone can stay in one or another position (phallic or supplementary enjoyment) in front of the real sex. When introducing the pluralization of enjoyment, sexuality is approached from the logic, from the singular. Gender comes closer to the question of being, refers to what awakens, in each subject, the question of what he wants and whom he wants.

Keywords : body; sexuality; enjoyment; psychoanalysis; gender.
