Identifications, neoneeds and neosexualities.

J McDougall

    The International Journal of Psycho-Analysis
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Perverse sexuality is defined not by acts but by relationships, stemming from parental issues and leading to addictive behaviors. This framework re-evaluates deviant sexual expressions as symptomatic responses rather than simple variations.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sexuality Studies
    • Psychoanalysis

    Background:

    • The study addresses the classification of deviant sexual behaviors, questioning whether specific acts or object-preferences define perversion.
    • It proposes a shift from classifying acts to evaluating the nature of relationships in defining perversion.

    Observation:

    • The paper introduces 'neosexualities' to describe deviant sexual acts and relationships, highlighting their innovative and unreal qualities.
    • These neosexualities are posited as responses to parental communication issues and unconscious conflicts.
    • The concept of 'addictive sexuality' or 'neoneeds' is introduced to explain the compulsive nature of perverse sexuality.

    Findings:

    • Perverse sexuality is characterized by relationships, not isolated acts, often stemming from parental incoherence.
    • Deviant sexual behaviors are framed as 'neosexualities' and 'neoneeds,' indicative of attempts to achieve libidinal and narcissistic homeostasis.
    • These patterns circumvent critical psychoanalytic developmental stages, including castration anxiety and the depressive position.

    Implications:

    • This perspective reframes the understanding of sexual deviance, emphasizing relational dynamics and developmental impacts.
    • It offers a psychoanalytic framework for analyzing compulsive sexual behaviors and their origins in early life experiences.
    • The concepts of neosexualities and neoneeds provide new tools for clinical assessment and therapeutic intervention in cases of perverse sexuality.
