This article is centered on a hypothesis of Jacques Lacan [1970] which postulates as one of the keys of the contemporary scenario “the sadomasochistic mania that characterizes our […] sexual environment”. The current practices such as tattooing, piercing, cutting, dieting, anorexic fasts, monastic self-fl agellations, including generalized SM practices such as bondage and others, put in evidence this mania and in particular the economy of masochism. For that reason, beyond their extended forms, they concern structural eff ects, which are not limited to the imperatives of the time but externalize the statute of the body as the place of the Other where the marks of enjoyment are inscribed.
Keywords: Masochism - Perverse practices - The body as place of the Other - Name Of the father- Père-version
