This paper will explore some troubled and troublesome aspects of sexuality from an analytic perspective. These include specific psychosexual difficulties such as non-consummation, potency problems and no-sex couples. Other more general topics to be considered include erotic transference and counter transference issues, sexual boundary violations, sexual abuse and sexual perversions including the use of Internet pornography.
Freudian, Kleinian and Jungian theories will be referred to where relevant to aid this exploration. Clinical vignettes will be used to illustrate the themes, drawing on the speaker’s various professional identities as a medical practitioner, psychosexual doctor and Jungian analyst.
