Is There a Right Way to Sex?-Love Psychology Regarding the Death Drive

Abstract

Yang I. Cao*

The research explores the element of death drive, whose origins can be found in the Oedipus complex, to the development of Eros and love psychology. The analytic framework is based on the fundamental science of psychoanalysis from the Freudian school, and the arts of physical acting are borrowed to the methodological framework in the social theater approach. Instead of the psychotherapists’ approaches to language and linguistics, metaanalysis on their epistemological origins is adopted. The in- ternalized reciprocal Thanatos on the egos are analyzed to be the phenomenon of love psychology. Such phenomenon originates from the Oedipus complex and overlaps with the individually differed mass psychology of power politics. The latter functions mainly on the suppressed whereas the former on the unconsciousness formed since the anal stage and oral stage. From the consequentialist ethics perspective, there is a right way to sex, but from the empirical analyses, the ways for sex are individually distinguished.
