This present study aimed to investigate the comprehension and the fantasies of children related to the marital separation from their parents, contextualizing them with the established parental relationship. Therefore, a qualitative exploratory study was taken, the research was done by a study of multiple cases with three families having children of six years old, and whose parents have been divorced for not longer than two years, at the moment of this research. In order to collect the data with the children, the following projective tests were used: Fables Test – pictorial version and the procedure of Family Cartoons with Stories. The parents were individually interviewed for a Sociodemographic Data Interview and Interview about Marital Separation and Children. The main reference while examining the data was the content analysis. Based on the data received, it was possible to perceive differences on the perception of the children towards the meaning that parental relationships took on the postdivorce context. Two participants stated that parents were destined a position characterized by affection, whilst three of them said the mother had a conflictive position. In such way, on this study, on the eyes of the child the mother figure was understood by the children as source of safety, replacing the care. Related to the fantasies of the children on their parents post-divorce scenario, the fantasy of aggression dislocated to the environment prevailed and the fantasy of family aggression as well. There could be also pointed the fantasies of abandonment and death, showing the impact of the children in relation to the marital separation. It could be comprehended that the possible consequences for the children who had its parents separated are shown through emotional disorder, yet, the quality of the affection among the parents figure and the children acts as a mediator when great changes are faced, in the case of a separation, characterizing the emotional disorder of the children as temporary or expected to the moment of crisis the family experienced. In this way, it is emphasized the need of listening to the children on the marital separation process, enabling a space for distress, doubts and fantasies to be freely expressed. Even though there is connection, affection, and concern from the parents the marital separation occurrence can make the children feel fear and anxiety, since they are found in a situation passive over happenings prior to the decision of separation. / O presente estudo objetivou investigar a compreensão e as fantasias das crianças acerca da separação conjugal de seus pais, contextualizando-as nas relações parentais estabelecidas. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo exploratório qualitativo composto por um estudo de casos múltiplos com três famílias de crianças com seis anos, cujos pais estavam separados conjugalmente há no máximo dois anos, no momento da pesquisa. Para o levantamento de dados com as crianças, foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos projetivos: Teste das Fábulas – versão pictórica e o procedimento de Desenhos de Família com Estórias. Os pais foram acessados individualmente para uma Entrevista de Dados Sociodemográficos e uma Entrevista sobre a Separação Conjugal e os Filhos. A referência central na análise dos dados foi a análise de conteúdo. Com base nos dados, foi possível perceber diferenças na percepção das crianças a respeito dos significados que as relações parentais assumiram no contexto do pós-divórcio. Para dois dos participantes, aos pais foi destinada uma posição caracterizada pela afetividade, ao passo que para três deles a figura das mães ocupava uma posição de conflito. De modo singular, neste estudo, para uma criança a figura materna foi compreendida pelos filhos como continente, ocupando o lugar do cuidado. Com relação às fantasias das crianças no contexto pós-divórcio de seus pais, foram predominantes a fantasia de agressão deslocada para o ambiente e a fantasia de agregação familiar. Foram presentes também as fantasias de abandono e de morte, sinalizando o impacto da separação conjugal para os filhos. Entende-se que as possíveis repercussões para a criança da separação dos pais podem se manifestar através de desorganizações emocionais, no entanto a qualidade do apego entre as figuras parentais e as crianças atua como mediadora no momento de grandes mudanças, que se constitui a separação, caracterizando a desorganização emocional da criança como transitória ou esperada para o momento de crise que a família vivenciou. Desta forma, ressalta-se a necessidade de realizar uma escuta da criança no processo de separação dos pais, viabilizando um espaço para vazão de angústias, dúvidas e fantasias. Uma vez que mesmo com o envolvimento, afeto e preocupação dos pais o evento da separação conjugal pode gerar medo e ansiedade na criança, pois ela se encontra em uma posição passiva sobre os eventos posteriores à decisão de separação.

Purpose: The objective of the submitted work is to map the up till now less examined area of masturbation behaviour and masturbation fantasies of Czech population. Another objective is to examine relations between certain aspects of masturbation and sexual behaviour in general. Methods: The data was collected through two questionnaires designed for this purpose. The questionnaires were posted on the internet; links to these web pages were spread by e-mails, social networks and links on other web pages. Data was processed in Excel programme and statistical programme SPSS. Research sample consisted of 1339 women and 1186 men, who completed the whole questionnaire. Results: 94.1% of women and 99,7% of men have an experience with masturbation. The average age of the first masturbation is 13 years for women and less than 12 year for men. Men began with masturbation by the age of 25 at the latest, while for women the age of their first experience with onanism ranged between their birth till the age of 60. Masturbation frequency is higher for men than for women and the difference is statistically significant. Masturbation frequency for both sexes negatively correlates with age, meaning that older research participants masturbate less than the younger ones. Both women and men reach orgasm easier through...

Surgery is an experience that brings uncomfortable examinations and discomfort and can often become an incomprehensible and traumatic experience. In the case of pediatric surgery, there is a belief that children are not always in a position to understand and deal with what surgery encompasses, considering that their psychic apparatus is still being formed. These procedures are, obviously, accompanied by numerous fantasies in an attempt to defense themselves and recover emotional balance to be able to face the situation. Therefore, this was a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study to investigate children s fantasies the day before surgery, in psychoanalytic theory. Seven children were included, of both sexes, five to twelve years old, admitted in a public hospital for surgery during 2014. Play Time and Fables Test were used as instruments. The implementation of the instruments was performed in a single moment, recorded, transcribed verbatim and the data was then passed through content analysis. The participants expressed the perception of themselves as defective and possessed feelings of fragility, helplessness and had many fears. The presence of frightening and elaborative fantasies was identified as a defense attempt and a way of making sense of surgical experience. It was concluded that the fantasies had a paradoxical role; that is, even if they constituted a regressive defense, they proved to be protective structure and helped to make sense of the surgical experience. / A cirurgia é uma experiência que traz consigo exames incômodos e mal-estares, tornando-se, muitas vezes, uma experiência incompreensível e traumatizante. No caso da cirurgia pediátrica, existe a crença de que a criança, na medida em que, por estar com o aparelho psíquico ainda em formação, nem sempre tem condições para compreender e lidar com o que a cirurgia mobiliza. Estes procedimentos, naturalmente, são acompanhados de inúmeras fantasias, como tentativa de defesa e de reestabelecimento de equilíbrio emocional para conseguir enfrentar essa situação. Para tanto, realizou-se estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório que se propôs a investigar as fantasias presentes em crianças no dia anterior à cirurgia, dentro de um referencial teórico psicanalítico. Foram incluídas sete crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idade de cinco a doze anos, internadas em hospital público para realização de cirurgia durante o ano de 2014. Utilizaram-se como instrumentos A Hora do Jogo e o Teste das Fábulas, aplicados em um único momento, tendo sido gravados e transcritos na íntegra; os dados passaram por análise de conteúdo. Os participantes expressaram a percepção de si enquanto defeituosos, bem como sentimentos de fragilidade, desamparo e diversos medos. Identificou-se a presença de fantasias atemorizantes e elaborativas como tentativa de defesa e de atribuir sentido à experiência cirúrgica. Concluiuse que a fantasia manteve seu papel paradoxal, isto é, ao mesmo em que se constituiu em uma defesa regressiva, revelou-se uma estrutura protetora, auxiliando a atribuir sentido pessoal à cirurgia.

This study is concerned with men's sexual fantasies content that appears either within partner's sexual lovemaking or during masturbation. Except fantasy description and classifying it also pays attention to the associations with sexual satisfaction. The study results have proved that they appear much more and in higher variety with masturbation. One of the most popular fantasies is lovemaking with the own partner. Most men state one deviant fantasy at least, homosexual fantasy is an ordinary phenomenon even with heterosexual men. From the point of sexual satisfaction some differences have been approved in the fantasy content in contrast with unsatisfied individuals. Sharing mutual fantasy with the own partner has been approved to be very important.

This thesis discusses narrative texts by Japanese female writers and popular manga artists* that deal with fantasies of male-male sex. It applies a variety of psychoanalytic theories (Freudian, Kleinian, feminist and so forth) to demonstrate how fantasies about male homosexuality may be analyzed in terms of the psychological orientations of the many Japanese women who are the readers of this narrative genre. I also discuss a variety of themes that often accompany and appear to support female fantasies of male homosexuality: the concept of Thomme fatal' in Mori Mari's male homosexual trilogy; sadomasochism in Kono Taeko's "Toddler-Hunting"; the decadent aestheticism of Okamoto Kanoko's "The Bygone World'; postmodernism in Matsuura Rieko's The Reverse Version; and the concept of . pornography as it relates to yaoi manga. * * In attempting to analyze the discursive aspects of female fantasies of male homosexuality, I begin with an examination of Sigmund Freud's article, "A Child is Being Beaten," in which he refers to the female scoptophilic impulse. Several Japanese female writers—Kono Taeko, in particular—provide clear examples of narratives that parallel Freud's model of the beating fantasy. This female scoptophilic desire to watch a male homoerotic 'show' is activated by a psychological orientation such as that defined by Klein's model of projective identification: female characters and readers project their 'unbalanced egos' onto male homosexual characters, and this enhances the processes of identification with and (scoptophilic) dissociation from these characters—which in turn create the possibility of regaining psychological 'balance.' One of the main themes of my analysis is the development of subconscious female desires to access the bisexual (simultaneously masculine and feminine) body. I discuss the idealization of the shorten (boy) identity (in "Toddler-Hunting" and The Reverse Version) and the image of the 'reversible couple' in yaoi manga as specific forms of a sexual discourse that presents possibilities of escape from the arbitrary, socially-constructed, but institutionalized concepts of the female body. *manga: narrative comic books for readers of all ages **yaoi manga: a subgenre of comic books by and for women that feature male-male eroticism / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate
