SEXUALITY AND FAMILY - THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PARENT RELATIONS IN THE FIRST "LIGHT EROTIC LINKS"

Abstract

According to Kaplan (1999), the majority of the authors believe that the sensorial experiences initiated in the childhood mold the sexual desire. According to the authors the desire of intimate contact from the parents relation (sleeping together, holding hands, hugging, looking, patting, breast feeding, smelling, kissing, liking, ticking, blowing, singing, laughing, bathing, drying, playing etc), are considered " light erotic links" stimulus for the small children because they are related to basic needs. As they are love in pleasure experiences they are kept in the inner sensorial memory. The children are then prone to desire objects causing similar sensations. The primary light erotic links establishment, the progressive discriminating learning from sexual repression (when, what, with whom, sexual activities can or cannot be made), and the future experiences from other affective/ sexual relationship will provide reinforcement or change in the "primary erotic links" as experiences are similar or opposite to the previous ones. Scientists believe that brain sexual circuits are well interlinked to other brain parts that analyze complexes experiences and to the memory recover and storage system causing previous experiences to influence desire and pleasure.
