- 271: From a Female’s Point of View: Misogyny in Vampire Literature
- ... only asking Laura to be friends, it seems by Laura’s response to be something more sensual. Her reaction to the question mirrors one that a person might have when about to engage in a sexual act with another partner. Laura knows and feels something out of the ordinary with Carmilla, but yet there is a temptation to her that she cannot fight off. Whether it is an offer of friendship ... is too late. This particular aspect of the story goes back to the idea of “The Girl” as being nothing but an object of lust. Lust can be defined as an Intense, excessive, or unrestrained sexual desire. However, it can also be defined as to have an overwhelming desire. Perhaps in this case, an extreme desire for self wealth and fame. This is everything that this man has ever wanted all ... scene displays the mistreatment of women in many different ways. The first is the actual representation of the three female vampire women. They serve one purpose and one purpose only and that is to be sexual partners with Jonathan Harker. There is no conversation before the actual incident. Instead, Harker lays down and pretends to sleep while hoping for one of them to come on to him. This scene reminds ...
- 272: Civ. And Its Discontents And G
- ... the ultimate free feeling. This idea is parallel to Enkidu's experience with the prostitute in Gilgamesh, giving him a whole new idea of his body and feelings. This is a different kind of freedom, sexual freedom. This sexual freedom can also be described as a religious feeling too. Some people feel that the actual act of sex is a very free and religious feeling because of the deep love felt between the two ... theme is talked about throughout both books in many different forms. Another component in the freedom theme of Mason and Freud's books is the libido. When Freud discusses the libido he understands it as sexual energy. He says that it is a man and woman's drive to be happy and that both are directly related. The libido is so that both sexes strive for sexual interaction because of ...
- 273: False Memory Syndrome
- ... of missing a scientific evidence, the therapists must be very careful in saying that abuse has in fact happened. Whole industries have been built on the hysteria that usually goes with the charges of the sexual abuse of children. Therapists who are supposed to help children recover from the trauma of the abuse, are hired to ask the child, in a hard way, in order to find out if they have ... think a parent or a caretaker are guilty of this. [note 1] With time, more and more children are going trough therapeutic programs, and have started to believe that they suffered from "repressed memories" of sexual abuse or insest. Even though some reports of incest and sexual abuse are true, most of them are because of of False Memory Syndrome caused by a really bad "therapeutic” program. False Memory Syndrome has a devastating effect on the victims and normally produces a ...
- 274: Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
- ... soup. In practice genes in the gene pool, spend their time either sitting in individual bodies, which they helped to build, or travelling from body to body via sperm or egg in the process of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction keeps the genes shuffled, and it is in this sense that the long-term habitat of a gene is the gene pool. Any given gene originates in the gene pool as a result of a mutation, a random error in the gene-copying process. Once a new mutation has been formed, it can spread through the gene pool by means of sexual mixing. Mutation is the ultimate origin of genetic variation. Sexual reproduction, and genetic recombination due to crossing over see to it that genetic variation is rapidly distributed and recombined in the gene pool. Evolution ...
- 275: Teenage Sex
- Teenagers in the United States are experimenting with sexual activities more and more today than ever before. According to Charles Krauthammer, "Sex oozes from every pore of the culture and there's not a kid in the world who can avoid it." (Meier, 1994, p. 7). Teenagers are surrounded by some sort of sexual connotations all the time. Whether it is television, radio, school, or even the Internet, teenagers are hearing the affects of sex on our society. The price that teenagers pay for being sexually active greatly outweighs ... for most but can vary for different people. Heredity, health problems, and emotional and physical stress can cause these variations. Teens begin to experiment with the opposite sex by hugging, kissing and other forms of sexual expression. People are capable of creating babies as soon as puberty begins. Teens also watch more television and listen to more music developing their own unique personalities. According to one study, about 65,000 ...
- 276: Romanticism’ in Jude the Obscure
- ... about graduation crashes, as a consequence of this meeting. H. M. Daleski would refer to the relationship between Jude and Arabella are purely based upon lust. Arabella as her description and behaviour implies, had great sexual vitality. Hardy's rendering of sexuality in both his male and his female characters is marked by its originality and profundity. We see in the opening pages of the novel, that Hardy shows us that ... that she should accept the fact, she calls Jude as “Joseph the dreamer of the dream”. Later the only picture she posses is that of Jude. Sue doesn’t allow Jude to make a close sexual relationship. She sexually surrenders to Jude only due to the fact that she fears that Arabella will take Jude away form her. As Resemarie Margan says,” Failure of Sue lies in her denying her sexual reality, in nullifying her need and desire. She may test neither her own active power, nor, in consequence his (Jude). The power to act at the deepest level of intimate sexual engagement which she ...
- 277: Invisible Man
- ... he would be much more interested in the workings of his life leading up to the Prologue and the Epilogue. The information within the text about the grandfather, the grandfather’s expectations, the women, the sexual and near sexual encounters with women, and the role of mother figures like Mary and father figures like Bledsoe would shape Freud’s opinions on the overall mental health of the invisible man. However, the psychoanalysis in this ... work with society. He is no longer one of civilizations’ discontents. Even though Jung overthrew Freud in the psychoanalytic world in an Œdipal struggle, his views on psychoanalysis took him away from exploring the infantile sexual drive that brought Freud so much fame. Because of this, it seems that Jung would enjoy studying the invisible man for only the events which occur or are of importance to him in the ...
- 278: 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 ...
- 279: Gay Marriages-Acceptable to God and America?
- ... determine and control the sex of your unborn child, homosexuality is a relatively understandable concept. It’s when people fail to understand, or alienate themselves to the fact that gays have no say in their sexual orientation that hate starts to grow. It is sad that there are those “in the closet” who commit suicide, or suffer years of depression and anxiety blaming themselves for being gay. I believe in equal ... rights. I was even further shocked to hear that Maine’s anti-gay community voted to overturn 1997’s Human Rights Act in January of last year. That law prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in jobs, housing, credit, and public accommodations. Needless to say, it is tough living in Maine if you’re gay. These pastors and congressmen are all hypocrites in my eyes, and as we approach the new millenium, I feel education is the key step to ending the hate. Kids need to be shown from an early age to respect all humans and see past the sexual preference of another person. This controversy would be highlighted by the murder of Matthew Shepard last October. Shepard, a gay college student, was severely beaten and left to bleed to death along a deserted ...
- 280: Sir Gawain And The Wife Of Bath
- ... not to give him her belle chose -- he has already had that, by rape. However, I can imagine a woman's forcing a marriage to save her honor, and then withholding from her husband her sexual favors for the rest of her life, as a punishment for her ravishment. More likely, she means to withhold sex for a time, perhaps until he learns to care for her. Something of this sort ... her request, he takes sovereignty over the body of Sovereignty by giving her sovereignty over his will. In Florent, Dame Ragnell, The Marriage, and Chaucer's tale, the hero, at the moment of achieving physical (sexual) sovereignty in bed, gives up the sovereignty of his will to the lady, thereby achieving what he most desires (which is a kind of sovereignty, perhaps, over Fate). Interestingly, Florent has come to his dilemma ... did not hesitate to denigrate him, especially in the Book of Tristram. Chaucer takes the Loathly Lady motif, puts it into the mouth of a lusty lady whose prime concern in life seems to be sexual sovereignty, and by subtle handling sets up a complex of sex, sovereignty, submission and unlooked-for reward. Who should have a better claim to expertise in sexual sovereignty than Dame Alisoun, who has had ...
