New Episode of Managing Sexuality Intelligently

Episode 4: "The Madonna-Whore Complex"

Hi, again:

Episode 4 of Managing Sexuality Intelligently is now available! You can listen to it on iTunes, Spotify, Buzzsprout, and all major podcast directories.

In this episode, we discuss the Madonna-Whore Complex (MWC) and my experiences with it. Wikipedia defines MWC as the inability to maintain sexual arousal within a committed, loving relationship. Sigmund Freud first identified this complex, under the rubric of “psychic impotence.” It is a psychological complex said to develop in men who see women as either saintly Madonnas or debased prostitutes.

Men with this behavioral complex desire a sexual partner who has been degraded (the whore) while they cannot desire the respected partner (the Madonna). To sum all of this up, Freud wrote: “Where such men love, they have no desire and where they desire, they cannot love.”
