Discussing sexuality: Philosophical and Psychoanalytical approach

Namen pričujočega raziskovalnega dela je pregledati različne načine pristopanja in govora o seksualnosti. V prvem delu je prikazan fenomenološki pristop k razumevanju seksualnosti, predvsem z ženskega vidika. Gre za predstavitev njene specifične umestitve v družbi, zaradi katere je pri spoznavanju seksualnosti že od otroštva naprej soočena s strahovi in problemi, ki so moškemu tuji. V naslednjem delu sem se osredotočila na Freudovo razvijanje seksualne teorije, saj predstavlja prve korake v javno govorjenje o seksualnosti. V samem bistvu se osredotoča predvsem na seksualni razvoj moškega. Ženska je ob njem obravnavana kot nejasnost oziroma problem. Poleg tega pa Freud zabeleži številna vedenjska odstopanja, perverzije in fetiše, ki se pojavljajo pri ljudeh in lahko potencialno vodijo do patologij. V zadnjem delu pa sem izpostavila znanstveno naravo govora o seksualnosti, ki prevladuje na našem področju. Kljub poizkusom da bi o seksualnosti govorili, se je ohranila izpovedujoča narava govora in le-ta se predvsem izvaja za zaprtimi vrati terapevtov, ki vsakršno odstopanje sistematično popisujejo in klasificirajo. Moška in ženska seksualnost sta tako ujeti v družbene norme in znanstveno naravo govora, ki jima otežujeta osvoboditev in razvoj seksualnih vedenj.The purpose of this research is to review different ways of approaching and talking about sexuality. The first part presents a phenomenological approach to understanding sexuality, especially from a woman\u27s perspective. It presents her specific placement in society, due to which she has been, since childhood, faced with fears and problems unfamiliar to men. The next part of the research focuses on Freud’s development of sexual theory, which presents the beginnings of speaking about sexuality publicly. In essence, Freud’s sexual theory primarily represents the sexual development of a man, a woman is treated as an ambiguity or a problem. It also observes a number of behavioural deviations, perversions, and fetishes that can potentially lead to pathology. The last part of the research highlights the scientific nature of discourse on sexuality, which prevails in our region. Despite attempts to talk about sexuality, the confessional nature of speech has been preserved, which is mainly performed by therapists who systematically list and classify any deviation. Male and female sexuality are thus confined by social norms and the scientific nature of discourse, which hinders the liberation and development of sexual behaviours
