2) The Manifestations Of Infantile Sexuality Thumb-suckingFreud nominates this as manifestation due to both its rhythmic characteristics, and the incorporation of the mouth. Auto-erotismIn sucking rhythmically at some part of the skin or mucous membrane, as in thumb-sucking the child is seeking to renew the pleasure first felt sucking at his mother's breast.
