Hi,
This is the entire sentence, for context:
"Bei der Zellteilung und Sprossung geht die periodisch einbrechende Sexualität mit einer Erhöhung der narzißtischen Libidospannung im Plasmakörper einher, die durch die Abstoßung eines Teiles der libidoerfüll Len Masse materiell abgeführt wird, nachdem der sehr wahrscheinliche Entlastungsversuch durch Bildung von Libidodepots an der Körperoberfläche oder in ihrer Nähe sich auf die Dauer nicht bewährt hat."
I'm specifically interested in the term "Len Masse", which I cannot seem to find any explanation for.
I assume that "Masse" has to do with matter (mass), but it seems like a reference (?) to something specific. Also, I'm not sure what "Len" means in this context. Any suggestions/references?

Comment: "I chose this comment because the term "charged" is the fitting one in terms of psychoanalysis (whereas "libido-rich" is inconsistent with the translations of Freud). "

libido-rich component
Let's try this:
"Psychic energy (libido) flows from the libido-rich component to the libido-poor component in the same way that heat flows from hot to cold." https://books.google.com/books?id=DRkBPCyWGOsC&pg=PA63&lpg=P...

This is how it appears in the original text, not a scan :/
"Libidodepots an der Körperoberfläche"? It sounds wacky - is it some sort of made-up science?
