Exactly how steamy is this story?
R
Folks, The Interpretation of Dreams may be nowhere near as raunchy as an episode of True Blood or Inside Amy Schumer, but our Victorian grannies would be clutching their pearls if we didn't give this one an R rating.
Freud considered himself a man of science—a totally professional medical man. Given his belief that many psychological disorders stemmed from repressed sexual desires, experiences, and fantasies, he saw it as his duty to stare his patients' sex lives straight in the face. As a result, The Interpretation of Dreams contains enough explicitly sexual material to make it shocking at times—even by today's standards.
