ABSTRACT
The creativity of infantile sexuality is undoubtedly based on the polymorphous perversity that S. Freud described. Since infantile sexuality can produce and transform objects, it would be more useful to inquire about its mishaps and failures that can be attributed to the genital sexuality of the adult. It is, indeed, remarkable that genital sexuality tends to be reluctant to welcome fantasmatic creativity to the extent that this creativity is allied with language and all production of thought. It is in the name of the psychotherapy of adult sexual problems that the argument is generally made nowadays that the Freudian paradigm of infantile sexuality should be more or less openly abandoned. This chapter discusses that the transference is by nature auto-erotic. And it could even be added that the theory of transference sheds the fullest light on autoerotism with regard to the notion of pleasure being engendered on its own as well as the notion of the presence/absence of the other.
