Definition of "contrasexual"

Another contemporary scholar of Gnosticism, C. G. Jung, has taken this notion of the twin ray and applied it to his own model of the contrasexual nature of the self.

If one rigidly keeps one's inner contrasexual side unacknowledged, no psychic growth can occur.

1987, Benjamin G. Lockerd, Edmund Spenser, The Sacred Marriage: Psychic Integration in the Faerie Queene, Bucknell University Press, page 30

The issue of gender becomes reality based with the human experience of the contrasexual aspect of our own psyches.

While Jung's theory of the contrasexual component of the personality seems radical in certain respects, there are other parts of it which are conservative.
