ABSTRACT
The language of sexology itself has its own significance and its own schizoid quality of delusion. By the delusion whereby 'mind' is equated with 'brain' is possible for the neurological surgeon to enter into an insane delusion with the mental patient, to seek to 'cure' the trouble that is 'in his head' by frontal leucotomy. Sexology also inevitably takes over the schizoid elements in objective science. Despite the delusions of the sexual revolution, behaviour doesn't seem to change very much. The effects of sexology are inevitable, because of its symbolism and the example conveyed abroad by its own pathological elements. Erwin Straus's kind of objections suggest that one of the major unseen factors in sexology is the degree to which laboratory experiments are conditioned by the kind of subject that is willing to come forward to be 'objectified' in just this way. The effect of sexology's attack on problems of meaning and significance to bodily functions surely parallels psycho-pathological hysteria.
