This paper addresses the particularities of male psychic suffering in contemporary psychoanalytical practice. Ten psychoanalysts were interviewed and the obtained data were qualitatively analyzed using content analysis. The effects that contemporary demands cause in the intrapsychic and intersubjective field were explored, enabling to comprehend current male suffering. The concepts related to psychoanalytical work were also explored, recognizing in Psychoanalysis an ethical and current resource in contemporary practice of male subjects. Analytical listening as an ethical endeavor, which is going in the opposite direction of contemporary demands, gives the opportunity to work with the singularity of the subject.
