Freud figured that one already out.
The univserse tends to work bipolar. Electrons and protons. Male and female. That is so, because the only way chaos can produce is by creating stability. And the easiest way to that in chaos is two opposing forces canceling each other out. That is also why a women's body actually will also view the baby as a parasite and try to kill it. But the baby has counter measures in place to cancel them out. That is the raw reality of things, folks.
And that was not Freud but me, so you can understand why Freud also uses a bipolar model. Because that's life.
That model are the two opposing emotional forces of eros and thanatos. Eros is love, unity, harmony, oneness, fruitfulness, sex, lust, fun. Thanatos is death, destruction, hate, but also more mundane things like mere functional thinking, anything cold, cold as the breath of death. Whereas Eros is warm.
And Freud analysied, that civilization meant of a process wherein in thanatos gradually overwhelms eros. It is, for instance, what Marx called "Entfremding", the estrangement from onelsef, ones work, and others. Which is very very unnatural, actually. Oneness is the natural way for human societies. For much much longer than what we have now. But yeah you may do some neighbor slaughtering or sth.
Personally, I think Freud was right on principal, but I also think he underestimates eros.
But well, people do have less and less sex, actually, soooo...
I hear the Masai bone every night.
