This paper investigates the relationship between desire and transgression in youth sexuality, arguing that this binomial remains central in the contemporary society despite the apparent decline of traditional taboos. Through phenomenological and dialectical approaches, it explores how gender norms persist as totemic structures, shaping experiences of identity, crisis, and transformation in adolescent and post-adolescent contexts.
