Abstract: The objective of this research is to investigate the collective imaginary of students about male sex problems, as well as to elucidate the non-conscious psychological field, in other words, the emotional logic of agreement according to which they are organized. Therefore, the psychoanalytic method was operated through the Fields Theory, having as groundwork the psychoanalytic theory of José Bleger. The Thematic-Drawing-and-Story Procedure was used in a collective approach in a classroom of Law students. It could be observed that the sexual problems are predominantly defined as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The psychoanalytic analysis indicated that the imaginary figure is organized starting from fields linked to the need of reaching a certain pattern of competent behavior (the competent lover), to the difficulties to get a stable relationship (happy ever after) and linked to the sexual vague stances (“will it be that he is?”). Knowing the collective imaginary figure, as well as the psychological-living fields on which it is organized, can enable transformations in the way that different social groups conceive sexual life, setting the human being free of adhesions to restrictive conceptions about sexuality that tend to impoverish the way of living.
