The title evokes a conflict of paradigms between the foundations of Judeo-Christian civilization, the evolution of customs in postmodernity, psychoanalysis as a practice related to the regulation of enjoyment in the field of psychopathology and the discourse of Law that regulates the distribution of enjoyment in social bonding. Psychoanalysis was born under the paradigm of modernity. Freud unveiled the perverse and polymorphic origin of sexuality, which is subsequently subjected to law through the function of the Name of the Father. Many postmodern philosophers reject the primacy of the anatomical difference between the sexes, the infantile fantasy of castration and the fiction that bestows the leading role upon the father in the prohibition of incest. As a result, this article contrasts the concepts of difference and diversity and sexual self-definition.
