Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 5
Abstract
The article reveals the problem of unconscious motivation of pickup artists’ behaviour. A pickup artist is a person who is being specially trained and consciously aimed at seduction of another person with the purpose of sexual gratification. The study is aimed at searching for depth psychological factors of pickup artist’ perception of the opposite sex. The specificity of pickup artists’ sexual behaviour is caused by the fact that they are unable to combine erotic (sensual, biological, physical) and tender (emotional, platonic) attraction to persons of the opposite sex. However, the author substantiates that the sexual behaviour of pickup artists is rarely preconditioned by psychological problems. A typical pickup artist is the “subject” of such a sexual relationship which does not have a destructive internal conflict, although he is not able to establish long-term relationship with the opposite sex due to the lack of tender attachment to the “object”. According to the results of the associative experiment it has been found that most of the pickup artists combine incestuous persons (mother, sister, grandmother) and those who replace them later (the girl he managed to seduce; the first intimate partner) into one factor, but they are at the opposite poles. The peculiarities of pickup artists’ perception of the opposite sex lies in the fact that they generally have serious difficulties in the confusion of tender feelings and erotic attraction. Only in some cases, the pickup activity is associated with an attempt to compensate the inadequately experienced Oedipus conflict. Personality problem of pickup artists in such cases is a failed attempt to compensate the psychological impotence with obsessive sexual activity.
