ABSTRACT
Faithfulness is seen as carrying an ethic that the subject will be able to manipulate from the margins of his liberty for his own benefit and for the benefit of the other important people involved in the acts concerning him. This chapter explores the distinction between two forms of faithfulness. The first is peremptory, compulsive, anxiogenic, exclusive. It refers to the claim of the primal object. In the second form, faithfulness is exercised plastically in a link in which the participants exercise this faithfulness in accordance with a desire mediated by ethics. Faithfulness crosses the "lines of loss" and tries to capture in the solidity of confidence a magic space of well-being in which there shines the affirmative rapture of a body of love that says yes and for ever over and over again. Psychoanalysis, emphasizing the notion of bisexuality and the concepts of feminine position and masculine position cannot assert that faithfulness corresponds to women and unfaithfulness to men.
