Girls' experiences of object loss, in conjunction with female anatomical structure, may lend themselves to a particular genital anxiety regarding openness and emptiness. The relational void in giving up the mother as love object may lead to an internal self-representation of a "hole" to be filled, much as the mouth sucks the pacifier in the absence of the nipple. This image may then be extended to the genital representation. In turning to the father, a girl may find that she lacks a relationship with him in the relational space opened up by the loss of the mother; the penis is symbolically withheld from her in the father's relational distance. This lack of sexual and relational gratification, it is proposed, may be schematized by a female as her body being empty of something. The father's absence--the absence of the paternal penis--may lead to an absence of the mental representation of the vagina and to an inhibition of the role the vagina then plays for a woman in sexual desire. Vaginal repression may serve to disguise object hunger that might otherwise be experienced as vaginal longing. An abbreviated clinical vignette, revolving around a masturbatory fantasy, is offered in partial illustration of the thesis.
女孩失去客体的经历，结合女性的解剖结构，可能会使她们在开放性和空虚感方面产生一种特殊的生殖器焦虑。放弃母亲作为爱的客体所带来的关系性空虚，可能会导致一种内在的自我表征，即一个有待填补的“洞”，就如同在没有乳头时嘴巴会吸吮安抚奶嘴一样。然后，这个形象可能会延伸到生殖器表征上。在转向父亲时，女孩可能会发现在因母亲的缺失而打开的关系空间中，她与父亲缺乏关系；在父亲的关系距离中，阴茎被象征性地 withheld 于她。有人提出，这种性和关系满足的缺失，可能会被女性 schematized 为自己的身体缺少某种东西。父亲的缺席——父性阴茎的缺席——可能会导致阴道心理表征的缺失，并抑制阴道在女性性欲中所起的作用。阴道压抑可能是为了掩饰原本可能被体验为阴道渴望的客体饥饿。围绕一个自慰幻想给出了一个简短的临床案例，以部分说明该论点。 （注：原文中“withheld”和“schematized”这两个词不太明确准确意思，暂保留英文未翻译，可能会影响译文的流畅性和准确性。）
