I just joined LL. A strange bit of synchronicity that I should log into this forum, at this particular subject item. I happen to be currently reading Irving Stone's "Passions of the Mind", which is the biography of Sigmund Freud. Although much of Freud's psychoanalytic theories have been disproven by more modern psychology research, his ground-breaking discoveries about the sexual awareness of very young children initially caused him to be vilified and ostracized by almost everyone in the medical and general population. He too was unfairly accused of being a pervert, a pedophile and a sexual deviate for bringing these discoveries into public awareness. What he came to understand about this abnormal angry reaction was that a great deal of society had so repressed their own sexual feelings, that part of the social "neurosis" of his time was to reject and deny the existence of this normal, human experience because most children have been taught at a very early age that these feelings are to be considered "dirty", "evil" and "morally unacceptable". Sadly, not much has apparently changed since the late 1800's with respect to understanding our normal sexual natures.
