In The Resistances to Psycho-Analysis (1925), Freud explains that the psychoanalytic concept of sexual energy is more in line with the Platonic view of Eros, as expressed in the Symposium, than with the common use of the word sex as related primarily to genital activity. He mentions philosophers like Schopenhauer that have already pointed to the importance of sexual life. He then goes on to confront his adversaries for ignoring such great precursors and for tainting his whole theory of Eros with a pansexual tendency. He finally writes that his theory naturally explains this collective misunderstanding as a predictable resistance to the acknowledgement of sexual activity in childhood and the Oedipus complex.
