ABSTRACT

The trisexual's body image is without gender, it is a body stance beyond sexuality or, more accurately, the body before the knowledge of sexuality: a virgin presence, the mother's infant as sexual object. Trisexuality differs from ordinary narcissistic self love, as the trisexual seduces both sexes first and then transforms their erotic desire into a reverentially admiring gaze. Trisexuality does constitute the competitive presence of the narcissistic element in sexual life. The trisexual's sexuality is the immaculate conception of pregenital sexuality. It is the family picture before the knowledge of sexuality erases innocence and consigns the early family to the vaults of memory. Trisexuality expresses a certain kind of infant triumph over the terms of adult sexuality. The trisexual converts erotic passion into a living mnemic presence. The evolution through bisexuality to apparent choice of the self as the preferred object represents the trisexual's journey in early life: from oedipal frustration back to preoedipal gratification.
