The child’s lips, in our view, behave like an erotogenic zone, and no doubt stimulation by the warm flow of the milk is the cause of the pleasurable sensation.

Laplanche’s reading of the successive shifts in Freud’s thinking about the drives traces what he calls a strange chiasmus in which sexuality, hitherto associated with the primary process, the tendency to unbinding and fragmentation in opposition to the ego, binding and the secondary process, passes over to its opposite, after the formulation of narcissism and of the life drive as Eros. At this point the concept of death drive also appears as the reaffirmation of unbinding, the repetition-compulsion, the discharge of all tensions in opposition to the bound and binding Eros.
