Penectomy/castration, mythology and psychology of the profound
Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 12:10 am
Hi all,
besides living my fantasies (mostly concerning penectomy and inability to orgasm), I also like to explore their deep meaning. In this period I'm exploring the connection between the human (psychosomatic) organism and the myths, source for that is obviously the analytic psychology of Jung (even if my main training is in Gestalt Psychotherapy).
Main issue here: Several gods where castrated (Ouranos, Seth) and other penectomised (Osiris). Inability to orgasm, in the form of deciding not to release through ejaculation but re-directing sexual energy towards other aims, or level of existence, is part of tantric magic, and also of other (spiritual or manipulative) forms of magic.
Has someone already explored such issues in connection with his/her own fantasies? Do someone have some bybliografical references about this theme? I think also just discussing it together can bring to new findings. I'm mostly talking to those who, besides having penectomy/castration fantasies, have at least some psychodynamic training, but I think also anyone else who like to explore him/herself can participate.
Thank you for reading.
