“Undoubtedly someone is going to toss the words heteronormative and individualizing the structural at me, and that person should stop reading immediately, not just this book but all books, your mind is broken and it is better suited for TV.  I don't mean you are stupid, only that you are even more a product of the system you hate than the porn you think you reject.”
― Edward Teach, Sadly, Porn

“And so we come to today, the contemporary defense against the unconscious by an ego that knows all the tricks of the unconscious: instead of our superego repressing desires incompatible with who we want to be, we repress nothing and wait for a superego to come along and tell us who we are.”

“The hardest thing to swallow is that your lust is not your own, while it feels primal there's little innate or instinctive about it.  This is not a happy thought, with so-co individualism being all the rage in the age of Know Thyself you're not going to want to hear about how little of you is you rather than the work product of whatever media agency targets the demo they've decided you're in.  You're not taught what to want, but how to want, the modern innovation is to let you think you came up with you on your own.”

“You could go up one psychic level and allow that maybe no man there actually cheated, but they all wanted to cheat, and as Freud explained, the superego assigns as much guilt to wanting as it does to acting, which is why to Freud, Oedipus's guilt preceded his actions-- the guilt, not the actions, were what was predestined.  He was screwed either way, so it may as well be by Jocasta.  “That's silly, I certainly don't feel as much guilt when I think about cheating as if I actually had cheated.”  I think you have never cheated.  When you do, you will be pleased to discover that you feel just as much guilt as when you merely thought about it.  If only you had known that sooner!”
