Abstract
The article aims to explore, from a conceptual and theoretical perspective, the corporeal presence of sexuality in the comprehension of psychoanalysis, not exhausting it in the psyche. It is argued that the primitive experiences of sexuality (infantile sexuality) not only determine forms of fantasy and symptoms, but also act as bodily experiences of stimulation and arousal, organ satisfaction and pleasure and pain. In order to do so, one goes through the various modes of the presence of sexuality in neuroses and perversions, as understood from Freud's early texts, showing their roots in the body and their original features as permanently bodily. It is concluded with irreducibility between psyche, sexuality and body.
