Unveiling the 'Madonna-Whore' Complex
How one of the most common, yet misunderstood, male sexual dysfunctions can rip relationships apart.



The founding father of psychoanalysis coined the Madonna-whore complex – a condition whereby men view women as either saintly, virgin Madonna’s or sexual “whores”.



As it applies in the context of relationships in modern times, Madonna-whore complex generally manifests itself after marriage or the birth of a child as Dr. Suraci explains:

A man may think of his wife as a mother and not an appropriate sex partner. He is accustomed to having intercourse with a sexy woman and his wife does not fit the bill. She is now the mother - Madonna. Unconsciously, she may remind him of his mother who cannot be a sexual being.



According to Dr. Joel Block, Ph.D., a psychologist who specializes in couples and sex therapy, some of these men have a difficult time committing:




They "stray" to keep their vulnerability in check. They are usually unconsciously fearful of getting too attached. Having a woman on the side gives them a better sense of control. With all this effort, many guys do start seeing their women, especially in long term relationships, resembling their mom.




As Dr. Carol Elison, PhD., clinical psychologist and author of ‘Women’s Sexualities’, explained to Alternet: “The woman feels like she cannot turn her man on anymore. She feels impotent in how to turn him on and inadequate in her sexuality.





So what is the best way to address the problem? According to the experts, it is important to realize that Madonna-whore complex is an extremely common condition, which affects individuals and relationships.



If a person has been looking for certain types of kink for example through internet porn or outside of the relationship, then we encourage him instead to take videos or photos of his partner that are provocative to him and use the partner as that sex object to see the partner in the sexual light.



Introducing role-playing, sex toys or different sexual positions into a relationship can also put spark back into the sex-less relationship as Dr. Suraci explains:



 聖女ー娼婦コンプレックスということが精神分析で言われることがある。そうした、コンプレックスの持ち主は、愛する女性には情欲を感じず、情欲を感じる女性には、愛を感じない。 現代社会に当てはめると、結婚後や、子供ができた後など、妻は、性的パートナーではなく、亭主にとって、母親・聖女になってしまうのだ、と。これはかなり広範な範囲にみられる現象であり、妻は妻のほうで、自分に性的魅力がないのだと不能感を感じてしまう、と。 

 その対処法としては、亭主がインターネットや空想で、性的に見せられる様態でパートナーの写真や動画を撮影してみたり、新しい性的役割や、大人のおもちゃ、あるいは、異なる体位などが、セックスレスの関係に終止符を打てるかもしれない、と。

男と母親というのは、洋の東西を問わず、複雑で密接な関係があるのかもしれませんね。
