In the [[phallic phase]], the genitals become the focus of sexual stimulation.
 
In infantile sexuality, "only one genital, namely the male one, comes into account.  What is present, therefore, is not the primacy of the genitals, but the primacy of the ''phallus''.<ref>Freud 1991e [1923]: 308</ref>
 
 
It is the [[presence]] or [[absence]] of the [[penis]] that forces the [[child]] to recognize that [[boys]] and [[girls]] are [[sexual difference|different]].
 
<!-- To begin with, Freud postulated that both sexes disavow the absence of the woman's penis and believe they have seen it, even if it is not there. Eventually, however, they are forced to admit its absence and they account for this absence through the idea of castration. -->
 
The [[child]] accounts for the [[absence]] of the [[girl]]'s [[penis]] through the idea of [[castration]].
 
 
The [[boy]] sees the [[woman]] as a [[castrated]] [[man]] and the [[girl]] has to accept that she has not got and never will have a [[penis]].
