Our purpose was to investigate in the light of psychoanalysis the collective imaginary of Psychology students on sexual hardships, given that complaints relating to the realm of human sexuality are commonplace in the psychological practice. We held collective interviews with three groups of students, using the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure as a facilitating resource. We gathered, in this method, 47 drawings. Such communication was considered interpretively, according to the psychoanalytic method, and allowing the creation of four affective-emotional fields: “Mechanical failure”, “Until death do us part”, “Who am I?” and “Rejection”. The bigger picture reveals a conservative imaginary, from which prejudicial and excluding behavior can emerge, and which persists despite undeniable victories from social movements focusing on gender issues.
