Abstract (English):	This article examines discourses about female frigidity during the Franco regime and the transition to democracy in Spain, analysing shifting definitions of sexual pleasure. It considers changes in the norms that regulated erotic expression, but also pays attention to subjectivities and experiences. The article explores what self-proclaimed "experts" said, but also the reception of hegemonic narratives and the construction of feminine and feminist knowledge. Therefore, it explores women's experiences and the production of subjectivities, mainly through the letters sent to magazine advice columns, to which women wrote asking for guidance about their sexual frustrations. Finally, the article analyses feminist publications on sexuality in the 1970s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Este artículo analiza los discursos sobre la "frigidez" y la insatisfacción sexual femenina durante el franquismo y la Transición, estudiando las definiciones y redefiniciones del placer sexual. Tiene en cuenta los cambios en las normas que regulaban la expresión erótica, pero también las experiencias y subjetividades sexuales. De ese modo, explora lo que decían los autoproclamados "expertos", pero también la recepción de las narrativas hegemónicas por parte de las mujeres y la construcción de saberes alternativos desde los márgenes femeninos y feministas. Para ello se presta atención, en primer lugar, a los consultorios sentimentales, a los que las mujeres escribieron compartiendo sus malestares. En segundo lugar, se analiza el discurso feminista a través de algunos escritos sobre sexualidad difundidos durante la Transición. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
