Freud and Wilde: one a distinguished man of letters, revolutionary writer of scandalous texts, much quoted humourist and gay icon; the other an Irish man sent to prison for ‘gross indecency’. Born within two years of each other, both men challenged and critiqued nineteenth century sexual standards, conventions and customs, and thus have come to radically contribute to modern constructions of homosexual identity.
Yet both men’s philosophies on what homosexuality might be, could be described as a cock tease for the gay ‘movement’ to the point where both potential gay icons are loved and loathed in equal measure. A significant part of both Freud’s and Wilde’s lives are a teasing out of homosexuality, and ultimately both pay a price for their coming out for non-heterosexual discourses.
This presentation aims to tease out parallels in both Wilde and Freud’s approaches to sexuality, and most especially homosexuality, and celebrates the homosexualitease in their lives and writings.
Ray O’Neill is a writer and psychoanalyst working in private practice in Dublin, who is currently investigating the role of the visual in constructions of male homosexuality and exploring what gay men born blind may have to say to psychoanalytic discourse on male homosexuality. He is also a full time professional homosexual and a part-time unpaid tease.

He is a Training and Supervising Analyst, William Alanson White Institute, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, New York Medical College, and Clinical Supervisor and Adjunct Assistant Professor, New York University’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
