He was the first, to introduce what is called psycho-analysis.
His theory is that we are all motivated primarily by sexual desire.
Man is an animal. Look at the bull among a herd of cows. The latter are busy eating, as much as possible, just to store in the first of four chambers in its stomach, to be chewed leisurely, lying in its resting place.
I have never seen the bull eating. It is idling, looking at the herd and choosing the cow for his next act.
If you see the advertisements showing almost nude women, it would seem that men are also like bulls. But we do not have the freedom. So we suppress our urge. The conflict between the wish and the reality of the necessity for suppression, causes tension and hysteria.
When we became civilized, many inhibitions came, blocking the natural flow of sex. Among early Romans, brothers married their own sisters. If there is no sister, next preference was for cousins. Even now in Tamilnadu, uncle-niece marriages are common. Brothers marrying a common wife, is also prevalent in parts of India.
Two men getting sexually united was prevalent from biblical times. Now such marriages are allowed in some countries.
In India, women are the greatest sufferers, in all respects. Their sexual impulses are suppressed. A woman may like a guy, other than her husband. She has to forgo that joy.
Suppression of sex may result in mental imbalance or may be sublimated as devotion, excessive attachment to a child etc.
Most men and women are happy, working and looking after children. But there is a minority who like to do something or to think, indulge in arts or literature. For such people, sex may not be the primary motivation.
Freud may be over- simplifying, what is a very complicated thing called MIND.
A Malayalam poet wrote:
Greed of gold, lust for women,
Cause of conflicts, small and big, all over the world!
