LOVE AND SEXUALITY IN PLATINA, SEPIA AND CONIUM
Dr. Marcela N. Casais
(Spanish version)

The Materia Medica shows us a great number of
variations in then way of feeling and expressing love.
In Platina, Sepia and Conium, affection and sexuality
display deviations that characterize them. Platina can
feel love only for himself, Sepia´s expression of love
is blocked and in Conium the incompetence of love is
ought to his feeling of guilt and weakness.
PLATINA

Love in Platina is related to his narcissism and
egotism. He feels himself so important that everything
begins and ends in himself, to the point of needing
other people only as spectators and admirers.

Patina’s suffering lays in his feeling of greatness
and solitude. The forsaken feeling with the delusion
of not belonging to his own family and the sensation
of being alone in the world, makes his relationship
with other people very difficult.

Platina feels other people are to him inferior,
specially her kids, and she hates them because they
are not good enough. Her contempt for them is so
great, that she wants to kill them, and it is evident
in these symptoms: abortion and threaten of abortion.
It is the unique remedy in an interesting rubric:
"tendency to abortion in women who have had children".
It seems that her disillusion for that kid who doesn’t
fill her expectations, makes her decide that it is not
worth having more descendents. That is why her sexual
desire increases during menses, when it is impossible
to get pregnant; we also find her in the rubric
sterility and has ailments in childbed and labor.

Platina loves making ostentation so that others can
see he is a great person, that is why he squanders to
be appreciated. But he’s avaricious with his family,
since they are inferior and don’t worth the trouble.

Being a Patina’s child is a real suffering, because
despite being affectionate, he is usually dictatorial,
obstinate, intolerant to contradiction, contemptuous
and cruel. He is so haughty, that he can’t apologize,
like Nat M.

The superiority feeling is also present in the
sexuality, with excessive and premature desire. The
characteristics of his sexual desire are violence and
insatiability. Enjoyment is absent, he can’t find
satisfaction in the other because he is not at his
level. This is expressed in women with vaginism and
vaginal insensibility during coition and with
precocity in ejaculation in men.

The Platina female has voluptuous sensation similar to
coitus, with anxiety and palpitations, this and the
increased sexual desire may be the genesis of
nymphomania. But it is interesting that this genital
hypersensitivity to touch is also the origin of the
painful coition without enjoyment, and therefore
aversion to sex.

The sexual desire increases when she is lying, and in
virgins with obsession of being married.

The loving theme in the Platina male is the same as in
female, it is characterized by the violence in the
symptoms and has both increase in the desire and
sexual aversion. So we can see great genital
excitability with fists of sexual desire and violent
erections, increased by the simple fact of touching a
woman. But because of his contempt for others, the
orgasm is absent, and this predisposes him to
masturbation.

Erections also may be troublesome, incomplete and
without desire. The priapism is frequent. Coition and
ejaculation are painful. These symptoms usually drive
him to sexual aversion, but he can’t avoid erotic
dreams that end with pollutions.

The characteristic of Platina is the high intensity of
the sensations generated in him, but frustrated when
he must intercourse with other person. So, he presents
great desire but the coitus is painful and the orgasm
is absent.
SEPIA

Kent says that in Sepia "love is not shown as
affection", he means that love exists, but it
manifestation is benumbed and cannot be expressed.
There is no absence of emotions but the intention of
escape from them.

All the love expressions, marital, paternal, filial
and even friendship burns Sepia out, and she feels
that they avoid her privacy and independence (company
agg., being alone am. Kent). That’s why Sepia shelters
in occupation and in being alert to the house and
family requirements. But finally, burned out, she
desires to fly away from them, but her duty feeling
doesn’t let her and the indifference to loved ones
comes forth.

Sepia women reject their feminity, they are masculine,
and like active games, so the trigger of her
pathological picture, appears when she must assume her
feminine roll: first menses, marriage, sexuality,
pregnancy, childbed, and kids.

Marriage is a crucial period for Sepia. Making
concessions to her mate is very difficult because her
intolerance to contradiction, generates discussions in
which she shrieks with anger and trembling, and then,
she leaves the room smashing the door with violence in
order to have the last word. Sepia can be highly
irritable, quarrelsome and impatient, especially with
her mate, overwhelming him with sarcasms and insults.

She never gives her married last name (Sep-Lyc), to
keep her individuality.

She feels that her children suffocate her individual
growing. So as she cannot get her independence, she
chooses the complaint, the discontent with everything,
the offense, and the sermon. Playing the roll of a
martyr, she claims for love and affection, feeling
forsaken, but when they give love to her, she shows
indifference, and laments her destiny. "She is never
happy unless she bothers someone" (Kent).

She is neither sentimental nor dictatorial with her
kids, though she is frequently positive and doesn’t
bear silliness, she gets angry for any trifle, she is
censorious, she scolds everybody, and finds others´
faults. She shows a great irritability for the tiniest
thing, she is nasty and she’s in a constant bad mood.

She’s not indulgent and she wants to make her children
to be self-sufficient so she can get her own freedom.
But in some cases she is over demanding with them.

Maternity is not easy for Sepia, because it is an
excessive psychological drainage too much tiresome, so
the indifference to the loved ones, is the result more
than the cause of her troubles, that’s why she
presents ailments during pregnancy, labor and
childbed. Sepia frequently has sterility and abortion
tendency.

There is an interesting symptom: "leucorrhoea after
coition", this is an infertility mechanism, because
the flux washes out the spermatozoids, avoiding
fecundation.

She can be antisocial with family and friends due to
her aversion to company and to the physical effort
that being sociable demands. In the social intercourse
she is excessively open, and almost rudeness. Sepia
isn’t mischievous but impolite, although her comments
can make us feel uncomfortable.

In a social party, she keeps away and silent, till the
dance begins (dance am.) then she begins to enjoy the
party.

Female sexuality is characterized by having little
interest or sexual energy. It is carried as a charge,
the symptom that better express it is "bearing down".

Pain in the sexual intercourse is intolerable and can
become vaginism. The absence of enjoyment and the
insensibility in vagina are not infrequent. There also
may be irritability post-coitus and symptoms
aggravation after coitus.

Menses and sexual ailments are common, including
frigidity and menopause disorders.

It is remarkable her aversion to being touched,
bothered, and to be approached. She desires to be
alone and to lie with her eyes shut.

The affective problematical in Sepia men don’t differs
from the female’s, and there is a parallel in the
sexual symptomatology.

Despite in both there can be an increase in the sexual
desire, most of the symptoms are referred to the
diminution. We find erection troubles when he has
sexual desire, and shows priapism after coitus. The
ejaculation is too fast, painful and incomplete.

He frequently has night pollutions interrupted by
waking up, it seems that being conscious he cannot
allow sexuality. Coition is so painful that he can
have aversion to it.
CONIUM

Conium is a remedy that lives sexuality in a very
special way, because he has troubles for the practice
and also for the absence of sex.

The anxiety of conscience torments and paralyzes the
Conium patient. His fear to punishment, turns him into
a serious and formal individual. That’s why he
shelters in religion and governs himself with strict
parameters of ethic and correctness. Everything brings
him guilt, but specially sex.

He has the delusion that the world is full of enemies
who pursue him to injure him, he feels persecuted.
This makes him restless, frightened and easily
started, with a great sensorial and affective
hypersensitivity. This situation is unbearable and
paralyzes him, not only in love, with indifference,
but also with intellectual and physical impotence.

Conium is sentimental and he gets sick when he suffers
a love disappointment. He is jealous with the
characteristic that jealousy drives him to sexual
excitement.

He desires company and he feels better in company,
although his slow nature, makes him boring.

Everything impresses him in a bad way, so sadness
appears, with the tendency to weep loudly, absorbed in
thoughts and dwells. If his desire for solitude is not
respected, he drives them off with insults. He is
violent and destructive.

He is morose and dictatorial with intolerance to
contradiction, that’s why the relationship with his
children is very difficult, besides his proud and his
contradiction tendency don’t make things easier.

It’s not necessary the presence of indifference to
loved ones for the prescription (affective paralysis),
because that is the final stage of his affective
hypersensibility and weakness. Even to love is
tiresome for him, so, it appears the solitude desire,
he feels estranged from his family and isolated.
Finally the weariness is so deep that he shelters in
indifference, the misanthropy and loathing for life.
He gets worse in company although he is afraid of
being alone.

In Conium, aversion is not an active reject attitude,
he gives up on account of indolence. In this period we
find the aversion to his children, family, men, women,
and company and he desires solitude. His expression is
calm and inexpressive like a wax figure. In his
unsociability, sometimes he is like Nat M lonely mind,
because he gets also worse by company although he is
afraid of being alone, but Nat M needs the love that
seems to reject and suffers for it’s absence,
something that Conium doesn’t express.

In Conium sexuality is extremely conflictive, he has
ailments for the practice of sex, owe to anxiety of
conscience, and for the sex absence, may be because of
his biology.

The absence of sexual intercourse brings trembling
weakness, hysteria, excitability, and incapability to
sustain mental effort.

Sexual thoughts intrude and torment him with blame.
But extended continence, also generates guilt,
hysteria and hypochondria.

His fear is so intense that he prefers to punish
himself than being punished, and he does it with
abstinence or a hipersexualtity plenty of impotence
and masturbation.

It seems that Conium can only live his sexuality
during dreams, the only place where he can escape from
guilt. Then he shows voluptuous and vivid dreams and
amorous dreams with pollutions.

Sexual desire in men can be diminished, increased or
they can be easily excited. They have erection
troubles, because they are incomplete or fruitless.
Erections can appear without desire and with frequent
pollutions. Ejaculation can be too quick, incomplete,
and painful.

In female Conium is evidenced with delayed and scanty
menses, dysmenorrhoea with bearing down, and breast
pain while walking. Conium during pregnancy presents
the symptoms abortion, labor pains false, too painful
and distressing, after-pains and puerperal ailments.

Like Sepia she rejects conjugal coition, but her
sexual aversion appears during menopause. She can
present increased sexual desire, especially in virgins
and as the previous remedies, she has sterility and
vaginism.
