- 241: Freud's Oz: Freudian Views in The Wizard of Oz
- ... Freudian perspective. The act that spurs the entire action of the movie, according to Freudian Daniel Dervin ( Over The Rainbow 163 ), is Dorothy witnessing the "primal scene". The "primal scene" refers to a child witnessing sexual intercourse between mother and father; an moment that is both terrifying and confusing to the child. According to Dervin, this event sends Dorothy towards her final stage of childhood development ( Freud believed in three stages ... return to its rightful owner. It is at the point of killing the Wicked Witch of the West that Dorothy enters into the phallic stage. Freud describes the phallic stage as a period when the "sexual impulses and object relations of a child's early years become reanimated, and amongst them the emotional ties of its Oedipus Complex"( An Autobiographical Study 23). Dorothy now switches her focus from the mother to father. By killing the witch and giving the broomstick to the Wizard, Dorothy is enstilled with a new sense of power and increased sexual curiosity. Dervin goes into this point in Over the Rainbow by saying, "When Dorothy lays her broomstick at the base of the Wizard's ominous image, it is a clear measure of her newly ...
- 242: Woman To Man
- ... Man." Maybe the title is trying to compare the two genders? I was slightly confused when I read this poem at first, but it became apparent from the rich metaphors, that it was about the sexual relation between the woman and man. It is also about conception - or rather the potential of creating a child from this sexual act - told from the woman's point of view. Judith Wright was very bold in writing such a poem since it was published in 1949, when such issues weren’t discussed in the public, but ... reflections and contemplation’s are communicated successfully to us, making us feel in the same way she has felt. The first stanza begins with a bold and confident entry describing in a simple way the sexual relation between the man and the woman; or better said; Woman to Man. The ‘seed’ which the woman holds - has the potential of becoming a child. The image of the day of birth as ...

In the United States, sexual transmission has occurred mainly among homosexual and bisexual men, but it is becoming more frequent among heterosexual men and women.

- 244: Psychoanalysis
- ... PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Traditional psychoanalytical theory states that all human beings are born with instinctual drives that are constantly active even though a person is usually not conscious of thus being driven. Two drives--one for sexual pleasure, called libido, the other called aggression--motivate and propel most behavior. In the infant, the libido first manifests itself by making sucking an activity with pleasurable sensations in the mouth. Later similar pleasures are experienced in the anus during bowel movements, and finally these erotically tinged pleasures are experienced when the sexual organ is manipulated. Thus psychosexual development progresses from the oral through the anal to the phallic stage. (Phallic, in psychoanalytic theory, refers to both male and female sexual organs.) During the height of the phallic phase, about ages three to six, these libidinous drives focus on the parent of the opposite sex and lend an erotic cast to the relation between mother ...
- 245: The Marquis de Sade's Attitude Towards Women
- ... not a crime, he explained, and is in fact less than robbery, for you get what is used back after the deed is done (Bloch 108). Opinions about the Marquis de Sade's attitude towards sexual freedom for women varies from author to author. A prevalent one, the one held by Carter, suggests Sade's work concerns sexual freedom and the nature of such, significant because of his "refusal to see female sexuality in relation to a reproductive function." Sade justified his beliefs through graffiti, playing psychologist on vandals: In the stylization of ... is always presented erect, as an alert attitude. It points upward, asserts. The hole is open, as an inert space, as a mouth, waiting to be filled. This iconography could be derived from the metaphysical sexual differences: man aspires, woman serves no function but existence, waiting. Between her thighs is zero, the symbol of nothingness, that only attains somethingness when male principle fills it with meaning (Carter 4). The Marquis ...
- 246: Queers
- ... and that it should be legalized. I however, am opposed to this because homosexuality is not a natural alternative lifestyle. First let’s define homosexuality. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, homosexuality is “having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.” Men and women are obviously biologically different. “People of the same sex having intercourse goes against what is biologically natural” (Baird 114). Part of the homosexual agenda is to make people believe that homosexuals are the same as heterosexuals when it comes to engaging in sexual behavior. This is absolutely not true. In Michelangelo Signorile’s book Cassel’s Rawlings 2 Queer Companion, a dictionary of lesbian and gay life and culture, he describes some of the sexual activities that homosexuals practice. These includes “fisting, when one partner shoves his whole hand up the anus of the other partner” (Signorile 96). In the essay Homosexual Rights: What’s Wrong, written by Brad ...
- 247: Freud And Caligula
- ... the time during which the infant is orally fixated; the anal stage is the time during which the child finds gratification through excrement; the phallic stage is the stage during which children begin to choose sexual preference with their parents. This is the stage of the Oedipus and Electra complexes for boys and girls respectively; latency is the period during which both sexes repress their Oedipal attachments and identify with their own sex; finally, the genital stage is characterized by a re-emergence of sexual instinct and sexual conflicts. Primary defense mechanisms consist of techniques such as repression, and denial, while secondary defense mechanisms include projection, reaction formation, altruism, and isolation. There are numerous defense mechanisms with which people handle their pain. ...

- 250: Women In Western Religion
- ... communities allow women to participate much more in public rituals, and I suspect that in such communities this underlying female tradition has been diluted, although it probably has been erased altogether. However, in communities where sexual segregation is strong, this hidden tradition of women may be the only way women fully experience their own religion. Sexual segregation is an integral part of Orthodox Jewish life. Samuel C. Heilman writes: " . . .segregation is one of the symbolic absolutes in a shul (synagogue) which defines itself as Orthodox. The scope and nature of this sexual segregation, however, goes beyond moments of prayer" (Heilman, 69). He goes so far as to state that sexual segregation is part of the means by which orthodox groups identify themselves as Orthodox. The further ...
