L'asexualité à la lueur du principe de Nirvâna

About a decade ago, a trend coming from the U.S., named “Asexuality”, has been introduced to the French public space as a new “sexual orientation”. Asexual subjects attempt to claim their identities as homosexuals and transexuals once did. People of this orientation are characterized by a rejection or at least are indifferent to the coital part of sex. Psychoanalysis has a theorized the Nirvana Principle in order to comprehend this phenomenon at the beginning of the 20th century. The asexual phenomenon come to put into perspective - as the other side (of a coin) of the phenomenon of hypersexuality - one of the main symptoms of civilization and its discontent.
