The births of sexuality at three periods of time. The first, prehistoric one, recalls that human sexuality is born of their emancipation from instinct, when sexuality becomes dissociated from reproduction, undoubtedly in relation to the acquisition of articulated language. The second period is Freudian and corresponds to the invention of the couple: infantile sexuality –?unconscious and the dissociation at this time between the sexual and the genital. The third period is less a period than a movement, which brings contemporary sexuality more in the direction of the drive than toward the object.
