Mothers, Sex, and Sexuality talks about things not normally dared spoken out loud—the interconnectedness and conflict between our parental and sexual selves, the taboo of the sexual mother, and why it matters so much to shatter it. What is it about the sexual mother that is incompatible, and at times even disturbing? Why are we threatened by maternal sexuality? And what does this tell us about the structures of gender and power that govern our bodies? Mothers, Sex, and Sexuality presents a rigorous academic analysis of the myriad ways in which the sexual/maternal divide affects women, birthing people, and those of us who assume or are ascribed the title "mother". We examine the way we as mothers talk to our daughters about sex, the way we talk about sex in a cultural context, and the deafening silence around sex in a medical system that overlooks maternal sexuality. We return repeatedly to the impact of both Christianity and Hinduism on the mother as someone to be revered but tightly controlled. We embrace the lost eroticism of mothering and hail breastfeeding as a sexual maternal practice, arguing for a new, broader, feminist understanding of sexuality. We discuss the way fat mothers destabalise the heteronormative maternal model, the way kinky queers are reconfiguring the sexual/maternal divide through erotic role-play, and we explore the strange, intense, and romantic domestic relationship that springs up between mothers and nannies—two heterosexual women trapped together in a homoerotic triangulation of need and desire. In a titillating climax we revel in the sexual maternal as embodied through performance art, poetry, installations, and comedy, disrupting queer readings of bodies as we are invited to both fuck, and fuck with, the maternal. This book boldly provides both a challenge to the patriarchal constraints of motherhood and a racy road-map escape route out of the sexual-maternal dichotomy.

"In Motherhood and Sexuality, one of Latin America's most prominent psychoanalysts interprets the sources of modern woman's unconscious conflicts. Available for the first time to an English-speaking audience, the book is as illuminating today as it was when it was first released. Marie Langer argues that economic institutions and cultural values must be altered to permit women full participation in creative and productive activities if women are to accept their maternal role without conflict or resentment. Within this context, her work presents a rare exploration of psychosomatic disorders related to female reproductive life." "The book demonstrates the centrality of the mother-daughter relationship to each woman's potential to embrace her experience as a sexual being and mother. Combining psychoanalytic theory with fascinating clinical material, chapters cover woman's conflictual relationship to menstruation, sexuality, pregnancy, infertility, childbirth, breast-feeding, and menopause. Withstanding the test of time, Langer's interpretation of the psychological dimension of the causes and meanings of infertility, for example, provides an in-depth treatment of a topic that is even more relevant today than when it was written. Throughout, Nancy Caro Hollander has added critical chapter notes to indicate the changes in Langer's thinking since the book was published and to relate Langer's perspectives to contemporary ideas about female sexuality and motherhood. In addition, Hollander's Introduction and Afterword provide an overview of Langer's life and trace the development of her ideas." "Integrating a Kleinian perspective on the unconscious roots of female psychosexual development with a political understanding of the socially constructed impediments to women's equality, this book fills an important gap in the literature. It is valuable reading for psychologists, psychoanalysts, and other mental health professionals interested in questions of femininity, gender identity, and the inherently conflictual realms of female sexuality and motherhood. Instructors in women's studies and Latin American studies programs will find it an important resource for their students."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Maternal Instincts brings together seven new essays exploring conflicting visions of motherhood and sexuality in a period during which both terms were undergoing radical change. Representations of both concepts mutated to accommodate different cultural contexts and individual ideologies. Drawing upon sources including literature, film, medical handbooks, popular science, and legal records, the articles collected here construct a vision of motherhood as alternately idealized, discredited, and fragmented by virtue of its connection with sexualities licit and illicit.
