2. Struggle for Sexual Identity

The woman feels a deep desire to conquer masculinity; the man, to express his femininity. She simulates a femininity she doesn’t know because her mother was manly. He simulates a virility he doesn’t know because he had an absent or weak father: he was raised by his mother or grandmother or another female relative. As time passes, they remove their masks: the woman begins to act like the man and the man the woman. When she does whatever she pleases, he locks himself in passivity. She progressively becomes frigid. It becomes increasingly difficult for him to get an erection. Both have lost desire. For things to run smoothly, she needs to lose respect for him. But, if she loses respect for him, his impotence persists. For the consultants caught in this struggle, I recommend:

Monday: She dresses up like a little girl of no more than seven years and behaves and talks as such. He plays the role of a mature, older lady wearing a medallion around his neck with a photograph of her mother. The whole day, he treats her like a virile woman would treat her daughter—not a lot of caresses, fast food, criticisms that devalue her femininity—and accompanies her throughout the day while she does what she needs to do. Then he takes her bowling. Finally, they sleep separately in their costumes.

Tuesday: He dresses up like a little boy of no more than seven years and behaves and talks as such. She plays the role of a mature, older man wearing a medallion around her neck with a photograph of his father. The whole day, she treat hims like a feminine and weak man would treat his son: combing his hair so he is beautiful, having him help clean the house and cook, teaching him to urinate while seated, taking him out for a walk (in costume). They admire the shop windows, and she plays dolls with him. Finally, they sleep very closely together without making love.

Wednesday: Both dress as children—him as a girl, her as a boy—and spend the day playing together and making mischief. They go hand in hand to the cinema to watch a children’s movie, they only eat pastries, and finally, still playing the roles of the characters, they sleep closely together, tenderly, without making love.

Thursday: Each plays an adult: him (as a woman) dressed in his wife’s clothes and her (as a man) dressed in her husband’s clothes. They spend the day imitating the other, with all their errors and limitations. At night, they sleep separately.

Friday: Now without any costumes they spend the day in silence. They spend time and meals in silence. At night they undress and caress one another. She kneels, he gets close from the back and penetrates her. Intimately united like this, they do not move. Uniting their voices, they recite the following text by memory: “I appreciate your existence. I want you to consider my mind and body as your own. I want you
