TYPES OF PAIN REACTION
Many youths are treated during puberty or after first intercourse due to an unavoidably painful
experience.
Otherwise, two general types of experience are occurring. These
relate directly to the form of pain or difficulty each condition causes. There is the subconscious development and the semi-conscious development
In the subconscious development the youth experiences no conscious
symptoms of difficulty or pain (these have been repressed and there
is no recurrent or obvious symptomatic difficulty) it does not occur
to him that a part of his own natural body is limiting him - he grows
accustomed to his condition never questioning nature; believing: "I
am normal"
He is fully unaware that his condition requires
treatment and indeed he may go through life without it ever being treated.
With the semi-conscious development, pain is typically experienced
indirectly often following sexual activity. Here the man feels doubt, but
is unwilling to question it any further; believes "I am not normal"
(feeling he must be a rarity because everyone is normal) feels
shame guilt and worry, and finds that repressing this and accepting
himself as he is, is preferable to having to confront this impossibly
embarrassing problem.
A phobic anxiety of the truth may develop, usually
avoiding the need to operate till early adulthood. This lack of confrontation
is nothing to be additionally ashamed or guilty about, people in many
other life situations postpone actions and then embarrassed about having
put it off so long, feel the simplest way out is to put it off even
longer.
Both and probably
all forms of development lead to a chaos factor which is
accepted and accomodated in the personality.
In all cases the man avoids discomfort and he adapts to the limitation;
and this underlies every sexual learning experience until the condition
is treated. |
