JUSTINO, Pitágoras Baskara. Sex (between gay men):on pleasure, fetishes, the numinous, and individuation. Junguiana [online]. 2025, vol.43, e04.  Epub 25-Ago-2025. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v43.202.

The work explores male homoaffective sexuality from the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology and Hillman’s archetypal psychology, addressing themes such as pleasure, the numinous, and individuation. Through clinical accounts and theoretical analyses, sexuality is discussed as an archetypal expression of the psyche, connected to imagination, the Shadow, and the process of unconscious integration. The cultural and historical repression of sexuality is analyzed in contrast with its creative and transformative potential, highlighting practices and fantasies as portals for self-discovery and connection with the Self. By emphasizing the importance of integrating these dimensions into therapeutic work, the text advocates for an approach that values the symbolic richness of sexual experiences, recognizing their role in archetypal dynamics and expanding consciousness. ■
