Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex

The book explores the psychological and physiological aspects of female sexuality, particularly focusing on the shift of sexual excitement from the clitoris to the vagina. It argues that this transition influences a woman's future sexual preferences and is linked to her susceptibility to neuroses, such as hysteria. Additionally, it examines how the repression experienced during puberty intertwines with the development of femininity, highlighting the complex relationship between sexual development and psychological health in women.
