Resumo: This work has investigated the origin of the masochism concept e its relation with the feminine view in psychoanalytical theory. The development of this concept is straightly associated with the XIX century writer Sachor Masoch and his main book Venus in Furs. This work published in 1890 describes the satisfaction involved in pain and humilliation. The masochism concept first came out as a category in medicine studies. Those were focused on clarifying the difference between the normal and acceptable sexual behaviours from the ones considered astray. Few years later, Freud considered that this masochism category belonged to the universal feature of human’s sexual behaviour. The concept’s development went through important changes in Freud’s theory, as it was first considered as a universal feature of sexual life and later developed to an important economic factor in psychic appliance. Freud noticed that social conventions had an important influence on women’s bodies and later concluded that women’s tough education made masochism something entirely feminine. With this observation, Freud criticizes the social and cultural context of the XIX century, that forced the repression of women’s agressiveness, leading the anger to themselves and creating the masochist tendencies, which is why Freud associated the masochism with the feminine. We can tell in Freud’s writtings a consistent elaboration on masochism, however, we cannot find the same kind of elaboration on the feminine concept. The gap left by Freud is filled by Lacan some years later, in a way that this feminine concept is not related to previous analysed masochism phenomenons. According to Lacan, what lacks in the feminine is the falic border, which is why the feminine condition can go way further when it comes to love giving, this condition, according to Lacan, is not represented by masochism, but by devastation
