Abstract

One may think that the essential concept to explain sexuality for the western society from the XVII to the XIX century war repression. On the contrary, M. Foucault states that the incitation to speak about sex is more important in this age. If we observe the part that sexuality palys in the catholic pastoral of the Counter Reformation, we must recognize that the Roman Catholic Church was one of teh most concerned institutions in speaking about sex. On one hand this Church builts up a theoretical knowledge about sexuality, on the other, its faithfuls are required to explain in dtail their sexual behavior in the sacramtent of penance. The incapacity to subjugate the sexuality through the word is shown in the existence of sollicitatio ad turpia, term that refers to the actions of some confessors to provoke, incite or seduce their penitents.
