The oral stage is a stage of the infantile Sexualité describes by Sigmund Freud in 1905, then finalized in an addition of 1915, in Three tests on the theory of sexuality . It is the first stage of the of libido evolution , after the Primary narcissism.

The Erotogenic zone privileged with the oral stage is the oral sphere and oesophagienne, supported on the motor activity of suction, by tétée. The oral pleasure overflows obviously the simple satisfaction of the hunger, the prototype of control masturbatoire to the oral stage being the suçotement .

Karl Abraham divided the oral stage into two under-stages:

  • the early oral stage or préambivalent, where the pleasure is related to suction.
  • the stage oral examination-cannibalique or oral sadist, or the pleasure is related to the bite.
According to Freud however, if a division of the anal Stade is possible, the same does not apply for from there oral stage.

The goal of the oral Pulsion is the incorporation, which provides the specific mode identificatoire to this of libido organization: the oral phantasms turn around the fact of eating or of being eaten.

The psychoanalysts of the school of the object-relationship are particularly interested in the oral stage, Melanie Klein the first, by theorizing the center like good or oral bad object, and the phantasms associated with this of libido organization.

The " fruit social" of this oral stage is the language, the word. I.e. the child " sort" of this stage when it can speak.
