ABSTRACT
The commonplace classification of male and female sexuality is not self-evident from a psychoanalytical standpoint. If we want to define sexuality beyond the reproductive function the dichotomy of male-female sexuality needs to be transcended. The recourse to the classic concept of bisexuality enables a wider notion of a sexuality in which fantasies and unconscious memories are as important for sexual arousal as physiological functions. In lieu of a genuine female sexuality I therefore want to develop the concept of a comprehensive sexuality that is not gender-specific. In each individual the sexual experience oscillates consciously and unconsciously on many different levels between positions of femininity and masculinity.
