Sumario:This paper delves into the existence of a feminist desire. This is part of the discussions led by lesbian feminists, who claim the political character of their sexuality and question the naturalness of heterosexuality. At the same time, femininity and masculinity are related to certain forms of desire. And the former, at the same time, manifests in different ways that exceed the genital. However, its multiple possibilities are constantly monopolized by the male gaze, especially through hegemonic pornography, which determines who and how they are desiring and desirable. As a result, in spaces such as pornography and literature dissenting narratives emerge and debate the reflexivity and laxity of desire, leading us back to the initial question: is it possible to define a feminist desire?
