^It doesn't really have to mean that it's a penis or a vagina in disguise. I thought that the one that looked like a vessel meant fertility, and therefore sex.

I know that one of them becomes a motorcycle (or was it car?), and another is a knife.

I'm tempted to go back through the game and just repeat that specific part to take pictures of the backs of the cards, though I have no way of doing screencaptures and would do it with a camera.

I think what Kaufmann meant was... If you deny a death of a deceased loved one, you would reject any future relationships, therefore if you "Deny sex" it means that you refuse to accept the death of the loved one, and refusing to move on.

Confusing, I know... took me an hour to write this few sentences...

I don't think that really follows, especially since Cheryl didn't really deny future relationships. In psychology, "Death" and "Sex" are symbolically interchangeable. It's a Jungian thing.

Im always getting the skull. My Wii bricked, so now I can't make it out on my PSP :/

That test got on my nerves because I was like WTH they all don't tell me anything. So I just picked them randomly, about 50% on each side.

Thats interesting ... how come you didnt choose simply any???

Post by **Biccard** » 06 Mar 2010

I chose a picture that looked like a sex ed-style picture of a vagina and ovaries for the most sexual one. He flipped it around and it was a skull of an animal. Which is a symbol of death

To be honest none of the images looked like sexual to me.

Then the doc got upset with me saying that If I deny sex,I deny death.

But the "tiger in space" was funny, xD xD xD I was... "WTF are you talking about ?!?"

"What does this have do with sex ?"

And that line, "You know,those who donÂ´t come here,have enough sex". xD xD xD

Yeah, i chose only one, the one that looked like a vagina, when he flipped it was something that looked either like a dagger or the rope

Post by **AuraTwilight** » 29 Apr 2010

It was the noose, probably.

Me too. I was playing with my friend. We kept trying to find something sexual in the pictures, but we couldn't come up with anything. We figured it was a trick question, so we shoved them all on the non-sexual side. Dr. K then got in this little bitch fit about how we were in denial and our sexuality was abnormal or something. I was getting pissed at him, I'll admit.

To me, a couple did kinda look like distorted images of sexual organs, so I placed those over on the sexual side. The card he flipped over for me was a hand pointing a gun at me. Which I thought was funny because guns often equal phallic and/or sexual imagery. Then he went on his diatribe about sex equally death.

I could understand his reasoning, but I'd still love to know what the fuck, "Tiger in space," means. It kinda reminds me of that live from the Simpsons, "Is some blind tiger jerking suds on the side?"

Also, this is my hundreth post!

Maybe the whole "Tiger in space" thing has something to do with Freud's dream description thing?

Post by **AuraTwilight** » 03 May 2010

The Tiger in space is a paraphrase of Freud's writing. He likened fear of the unknown to a "tiger in the dark unseen" as a metaphor, as if the person's irrational fear of sex is comparable to a proverbial tiger jumping out and clawing your gonads.

Sex, like death, is a great, unknown leap into the unknown. It's naturally a source of anxiety and apprehension, and for most people, their "first time" is a frightening experience to build up to, despite knowing that it's probably going to be AWESOME.
