    In Freudian psychology, ethical reasoning and morality is governed by the superego, which goes against the id, or "primal drive". I would have to say that the superego is a very malleable part of the psyche, for "what is acceptable" differs from country to country.

    In Freudian psychology the Superego is not at all 'very malleable'



    perhaps it differs from region to region but once it is set, through the process of development and growth, it is set . . . for Freud we are 'overdetirmined' . . . in many respects includinmg the structuring demands of the Superego

    yep



    and sometimes it just feels good to suck on something .. . . why, it feels an awful lot like that first very good feeling of super-close-comfort-no-worries-no-cares-no-pain-and-tasted-so-good-too that I had before my 'self' became 'me' . . . you know that taste I'm talking about . . . .

    Please write it out in French..



    If I ever go to France or Canada ( or closer for me ) to New Caledonia, I will use it to chat up the ladies...



    PS:



    in Italian it would make me a national hero.



    In German it would get me shot !
