According to Wilhelm Reich, orgasm is the body’s natural release of accumulated tension and “dammed-up” sexual energy, and the ability to achieve a full, satisfying orgasm is a key indicator of psychological and physical health. He believed that the failure to achieve this full release, which he termed “orgastic impotence”, could lead to neurosis, anxiety, and a physical “character armor” of chronic muscular contractions. Reich saw the goal of therapy as restoring “orgastic potency” to enable the healthy, uninhibited discharge of energy.
What I mean ,orgasm isn’t just sexual discharge,but ability to relief of whole body.
Orgasms drain me of my energy actually I guess that’s what they’re doing right. Draining me of that damned up energy. That sexual energy. I believe orgasms are addictive to.
Reich was a student of Freud. At first, Freud thought highly of Reich, he even let him conduct therapy while still an undergrad. Over time Freud disliked Reich because of Reich’s obsession with orgasms. Reich was also having sex with his patients. Reich was kicked out of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society in 1934.
Are you talking like emotional orgasms? I mean, I have emotional orgasms in my chest and stuff and I cry and things I don’t know if that’s what you’re referring to. I get really emotional and I gasm like.
Yes, I experienced this a lot. Sometimes it actually gives me more energy, and sometimes it drains me and relaxes me. It does change my state of being, but the article was referring to sexual energy.
Yes releasing dammed up energy helps me focus and frees me up to live my life according to my energy. I get emotional orgasms a lot. Deep down I am very emotional. And when regular life does not release it I become very anxious and angry and feel violated.
There is no evidence of this. It was a common accusation by critics of doctors who worked with sexuality at the time. He never had sex with anyone who was currently a patient of his though he had multiple consensual affairs with associates and colleagues.
Yes ,one thing about Reich.He was first who established his theory, which led to reichian therapy…
Reichian therapy is a holistic approach to healing that integrates mind and body, based on the work of Wilhelm Reich. It aims to dissolve deep-seated emotional and physical tensions, known as “body armor,” through techniques like breathwork, movement, and talk. The goal is to release repressed emotions, increase self-awareness, and promote overall well-being and emotional vitality.
[Yes, the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich had sexual affairs with multiple patients. His biographers and historical accounts confirm that having relationships with patients was a controversial but recurring aspect of his personal and professional life.
Key details include: Multiple relationships: Reich had affairs with several women who were his patients, often blurring the lines between therapeutic and personal relationships.
First patient affair: He began an affair with his very first patient, Lore Kahn, who died shortly after, an incident for which Reich blamed himself.
Marriage to a patient: His second wife, Annie Pink, was also a patient whom he married at her father’s insistence.
Controversy and criticism: These actions were highly unconventional and contributed to rumors and criticism within the psychoanalytic community, with figures like Paul Federn reportedly calling Reich a “psychopath”.
Pressure for abortions: Reich was a zealous advocate for contraception and abortion and reportedly pressured several of his partners and patients, who were often the same person, to have abortions.
