“This process has been turned upside-down by the Freudian concept of infantile sexuality. This sees the extravagant body-contacts of infancy as being an early manifestation of adult sexuality, when in reality it is the adult body-contacts that are patterned on the infantile.
The inverted account has done untold harm….”
Desmond Morris, English zoologist (b.1928) in “Manwatching” (1978).

I do not think that childhood before about the age of 10 is even vaguely sexual in any way and I think that we have been duped by Freud into thinking that early childhood is sexual.
Freud was entirely mistaken, if you ask me. His work is one big mistake.
And worryingly he thought he hadn't made any mistakes.
