Wilhelm Reich's "Sexpol" movement, which he developed from 1927-1933, focused on combining his sexological work with his communist political convictions, particularly among working-class youth, and involved activities like setting up clinics, teaching sex education, and publishing pamphlets, including "The Sexual Struggle of Youth".
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Sexpol Movement:
Reich's "Sexpol" movement emerged from his belief that sexuality and sexual repression played a crucial role in the production and reproduction of class structures and hierarchies.
Working-Class Focus:
Reich's work and political activity, including Sexpol, primarily targeted working-class communities, particularly youth.
Practical Activities:
Reich engaged in practical activities like setting up clinics in working-class areas, teaching sex education, and publishing pamphlets to promote his ideas.
"The Sexual Struggle of Youth":
He even established his own publishing house, Verlag für Sexualpolitik, to publish his pamphlet "Der sexuelle Kampf der Jugend" (later translated as "The Sexual Struggle of Youth") after the Communist Party of Germany delayed its publication.
Conflict with the Communist Party:
Reich's views on adolescent sexuality and his involvement in a conference promoting it led to the Communist Party announcing that it would no longer publish his material.
Freud's Response:
Sigmund Freud also distanced himself from Reich, canceling his contract with the International Psychoanalytic Publishers to publish Reich's "Character Analysis," likely due to Reich's stance on teenage sex.
