ABSTRACT
According to early psychoanalysis, woman is seldom perverse because she is constitutively so. Sexology in the strict sense of the term was established in the late nineteenth century and was obsessed by male homosexuality as the gravest of perversions, while paedophilia, for example, was considered a relatively venial pathology. The hysteric, whom Freud considered an imaginary pervert, is in many ways a woman who will not accept feminine masochism. Feminine sexual pleasure reminds people of perverse pleasure in so far as normal women often seem to imitate erotic masochists. In addition, M. M. R. Khan explicitly tells people that their Beauty was able to overcome the barrier of aphanisis–er depressive inability to enjoy–thanks to an external, masculine presence. According to D. W. Winnicott and Khan, art, perversion, and analysis are all illusions. It is only in fantasies or in perverse adventures that the dream comes true–hence the pain and the rage.
