ABSTRACT
The sexual jesting, the intimate communication between the two women allude to female sexuality and a woman's pleasure in her sexed body. As psychoanalysts we are aware of the importance of the recognition of the parental sexual relationship in the development of our capacity to think. Acknowledging the link between our parents requires the relinquishment of the idea of sole and permanent possession of mother and the tolerance of the profound sense of loss it leads to. After the procreative intercourse of the parental couple, another link just as important is formed through the placenta and the umbilical cord between mother and foetus in the womb during pregnancy and through breast-feeding in the first period of life outside the womb. The interference may have a very happy ending with a flood of endorphins in both mother and foetus, or a very worrying one if there has been imposition.
