Oral Fixation
Created | Updated Oct 20, 2010
An oral fixation is what people call a drive which causes humans to always require stimulation of the mouth. This idea was first thought up by our good buddy Sigmund Freud, during one of his cocaine highs. He thought that young children (ages birth-2) get some sort of..."orgasmic" pleasure from sucking, chewing, biting, etc., because that is what is most important in their lives at that point-nourishment through the mouth. Children who did not get enough stimulation were believed to later on develop this so-called "oral fixation", or continuous desired stimulation of the mouthal area. (heh heh...mouthal)

People with oral fixations can be identified because they are always eating, biting their nails, licking their lips, drinking, chewing the eraser tips on their pencils, or making out. It is believed that Monica Lewinsky has an oral fixation.

There are other "fixations", such as nasal fixations, which requires constant stimulation of the nasal area, usually by sticking quarters up there, or drinking milk or rum through the nasal cavities. It is quite entertaining to be around a drunk person with a nasal fixation.

Question: Oh no, I think I may have an oral fixation!

Question: Oh...uhh...well then what if I think I have an oral fixation?
Question: Oh...uhh...well then what if I think I have an oral fixation?
Answer: That's better. Well, if you believe you have an oral fixation, DON'T PANIC! Many people have lives productive and fulfilling lives despite their oral plight. In fact, many people believe Freud himself had both an oral and nasal fixation, which explains the constant cigar in his mouth and cocaine in his nose.

Question: Can I correct an oral fixation?
Question: Can I correct an oral fixation?
Answer: Most likely, not. Some people may grow out of it, such as 6 year olds who still suck their thumbs. However, there is no way to actively reduce oral fixated activity, expecially when you are a bit older than that. For example, if you are 50 and still suck your thumb, just give up and enjoy it.

Question: Can I use an oral fixation to my advantage?
Question: Can I use an oral fixation to my advantage?
Answer: Yes. "Can I have a lollipop? It's to satisfy my oral fixation." "I'm sorry, it's just that...I have... (tear)
an oral fixation...I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner..." and so on.
So, remember, living with an oral fixation is a-okay. Thank Freud for giving it a nice, medical name. And one more thing to keep in mind: mouthal means oral.
