What Does It Mean to ‘Make’ Love? A Psychoanalytic Study of Sexuality and Phantasy

500 1,000 

What Does It Mean to ‘Make’ Love? shows how the choice of gender does not conform to anatomy and is based on an often unrecognised psychic bisexuality.

Everyone chooses a gender by repressing another gender, which becomes the site of both an attraction and a conflict, a ‘war of the sexes’, the contingencies of which animate desire. Gérard Pommier explores phantasy, desire and perversion and their role in ‘sexual machinery’, before considering the question of orgasm. Pommier’s work demonstrates that the analysis of orgasm brings out a political dimension and that aspects of both social and personal life are illuminated by the study of how we think – consciously and unconsciously – about orgasm and the role we ascribe to it.

This book makes valuable contributions to the study of sexuality and will be of interest to all psychoanalysts and students of psychoanalysis, as well as those in the fields of gender studies, anthropology and psychology.

Description

What Does It Mean to ‘Make’ Love? A Psychoanalytic Study of Sexuality and Phantasy

by Gérard Pommier (Author)

Key Points:

  • Psychic Bisexuality and Gender Choice:
    What Does It Mean to ‘Make’ Love? explores how gender is chosen not according to anatomy, but through an unconscious psychic bisexuality, where one gender is repressed in favor of another, creating a site of attraction and conflict.
  • Phantasy, Desire, and Perversion:
    Gérard Pommier examines the roles of phantasy, desire, and perversion in shaping human sexuality, which he connects to the idea of the ‘sexual machinery’ that drives attraction and conflict.
  • The Political Dimension of Orgasm:
    The book links the analysis of orgasm to a political dimension, showing how our understanding of orgasm influences both social and personal life, with deeper implications for gender and sexuality.
