ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the experiences that play a part as phenomena in the sense of the body and at tempt to show the complexity of erogenous experience in its intimate interaction with sensoriality. "Experiential mass" is the name that is given to the body that is in a state to receive stimuli while at the same time reacting to these stimuli in ways that are unique to each individual. All individuals have their own fund of sensitivity, the different components of which are mingled in a particular formula, and this again will vary according to circumstances and to the dominant psychopathological structure. Perception is the process through which a living organism becomes conscious of stimuli. The skin-ego is a precursor of the ego anchored in the epidermic covering that contains the image of oneself. Sexuality, subordinated to sensuality, facilitates the display of profound and intense experiences.
