We are going to study the relationship of seduction between a brother and his sisters in the culture of the Horn of Africa, and more especially in the Republic of Djibouti. Our theoretical models are borrowed from psychanalysis and cultural anthropology. We will show that in this culture, the ritual of infibulation is the basis of a collective imaginary since the honour of family and clan lay in the absolute integrity of the stitched seam of the female genitalia at the moment of a girl’s mariage. This ritual reinforced the castration anxiety of the young man which shifted onto his difficulty disinfibulating his young wife. We will show how the original fantasies of seduction and castration link the brother to his sisters through the fetichization of the stitching of the female genitalia. We have depicted two types of brother : the « temple guardian », representing the mother and guaranteeing the virginity of the daughter, and the « guardian of the ego ideal », the paternal substitute and sometime protector and « liberator » of the sister.
