Lorand joins those who believe in a paramount importance of infantile vaginal sensations which later are repressed. These early vaginal sensations regularly have an oral character. If the sensations are analyzed in detail they are always connected with the preoedipal oral relationship to the mother. The anxieties which are responsible for the repression of these sensations are also rooted in the preoedipal relation to the mother. The material for the study of these phenomena is, according to Lorand, the analysis of more complicated frigidities which show that certain behavior patterns apparently expressing penis envy are rooted in deeper pregenital conflicts.
