Deviations in respect of the sexual object – the sexual object is the person or thing from which the sexual attraction comes.

Deviations in respect of the sexual aim – the sexual aim is the sexual act that a person is driven towards.

This division seems fairly artificial and even Freud seems to get rather muddled about it at times, for example, he says that fetishism could go into either category.

Insight

Freud’s distinction between the sexual object and the sexual aim is perhaps another example of his trying to be precise and scientific, when actually the human psyche is not always quite so easy to analyse.
