In this third volume of The Pathways of Sex, psychoanalyst Deivede Eder Ferreira situates fantasmatic sexuality between The Empty Sex and The Loving Sex.

In this pathway, pleasure is organized rather than compulsive, intimacy can be intense without becoming ...

You handled it. You always handle it. And your body is exhausted. The tight chest. The jaw you clench without noticing. The shoulders that never fully come down.
