The main objective of this dissertation is to rethink how the subjects constitute themselves through the concept of erogenous masochism. Freudian statement (1923) that the erogenous masochism was a witness of the early moments where there was a fusion between life drive and the death drive reveals the straight bond between the notion of masochism and emergency of the subjects in the psychoanalytical theory. Therefore, masochism is a privileged source for the understanding of ancient aspects of mental life onset. The methodology used through this research was a conceptual-historic bibliographic investigation of the complete works of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalyses. Lacan s interpretation of the Freudians writings contributes to this discussion. This research starts at 1905 with the Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, even though Freud only mentions erogenous masochism after he elaborates the notion of the existence of a death drive. The importance of showing the whole process in which Freud would build the psychoanalytical concepts is to demonstrate that they were forged through the psychoanalytical practice, and that at the beginning it presents itself as an enigma and with time it acquires more consistence. Since Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, Freud raised important questions about masochism that were only better understood after 1920. Concepts such as perverse polymorph sexuality, sadomasochism and Fantasy help to acknowledge an enlargement of this notion in the psychoanalyses theory. Hence, allowing a new understanding in the concept of masochism other then the moralist version that sees it as pathology.
