Mouth as ez,(oral stage) as a newborn baby, you are born with this reflex to suck. That experience of getting pleasure through your mouth becomes a need to repeat that pleasure. A felt tension that calls for work that leads to satisfaction. Once you have that pleasure once, you seek it out again. For infants, that breast is not always there when they"re feeling that tension. So they will suck on their soother, thumbs, toes, that is not bringing in nourishment but is bringing this pleasure. Whenever the child is feeling upset, hungry, lonely, it will turn to its mouth to bring it pleasure. The pleasure is originally begins as a biological to bring nourishment. But eventually becomes detached from the biological function, and becomes simply and aim of sexual pleasure and satisfaction.
