Most of the issues described by Freud as constituting infantile and childhood sexuality appear (or reappear) during adolescence. The issues of masturbation, bisexuality, sadomasochism, castration anxiety, penis envy, and oedipal involvement can all be expected to make their appearance during adolescence. However, unlike their sequential appearance for the infant and child, for the adolescent they make their appearances simultaneously, as the experience of an increasingly more self-conscious and knowing organism. It is important, moreover, that these appearances be considered as psychic phenomena that partially claim roots in adolescence independent of other legacies or residues that also influence them.2
