1. Phallic stage

   In Freudian psychoanalysis, the phallic stage is the third stage of psychosexual development, spanning the ages of three to six years, wherein the infant's libido (desire) centers upon their genitalia as the erogenous zone. When children become aware of their bodies, the bodies of other children, and the bodies of their parents, they gratify physical curiosity by undressing and exploring each other and their genitals, the center of the phallic stage, in the course of which they learn the physical differences between the male and female sexes and their associated social roles, experiences which alter the psychologic dynamics of the parent and child relationship. The phallic stage is the third of five Freudian psychosexual development stages: (i) the oral, (ii) the anal, (iii) the phallic, (iv) the latent, and (v) the genital.

1. phallic stage

   The phallic stage is a phase in Sigmund Freud's psychosexual development theory, generally experienced by children between three and six years of age. It's during this stage that a child becomes aware of their sexual identity and develops attraction for the parent of the opposite sex and experiences jealousy and rivalry with the parent of the same sex (known as Oedipus Complex in boys and Electra Complex in girls). It's also characterized by fixation on the genital organs, leading to masturbation curiosity. Conflicts or issues left unresolved in this stage can result in future neuroses and psychopathologies, according to Freud.
