“Hasn't it ever occurred to you that in your promiscuous pursuit of women you are merely trying to assuage your subconscious fears of sexual impotence?" "Yes, sir, it has." "Then why do you do it?" "To assuage my fears of sexual impotence.” -Joseph Heller, Catch-22

As this is an absurdist novel I think the point of this passage was exactly to make fun of Freudian analysis?

My favorite entry in the 'comic writers making fun of Freudian analysis' genre is James Thurber's 'Sex Ex Machina': http://vaviper.blogspot.in/2017/01/sex-ex-machina-by-james-thurber.html …pic.twitter.com/Lf45hc5CPc
