thanks for your expert take 😁
but honestly, I feel like Freud was getting at something else entirely... it isn't really about jealousy, it’s more like a specific kind of craving, similar to how guys can't keep their eyes off breasts 😁 ...I guess he was just trying to figure out where that desire actually comes from
Nobody's gotten back to me on this yet. ovom So, I’m throwing this out there to the group... do you guys think Freud was actually tripping when he suggested women deal with the Oedipus complex—specifically that whole idea of being envious of us men because of our anatomy? Like, was he being literal about the physical envy part?
Oedipus complex – an aspect of Sigmund Freud's developmental theory According to an aspect of Sigmund Freud's developmental theory, Freud argued that as girls develop, they undergo a fundamental shift. They move away from seeing their mother as the primary object of affection and pivot toward the father instead. This transition supposedly involves a physical shift too—moving focus from the clitoris to the vagina as the central genital zone. Freud suggested that at about the age of four, a girl first realizes she lacks a penis. In his view, she ends up blaming her mother for this perceived deficiency, which hits her self-esteem hard. He claimed this realization leads a girl to abandon clitoral sexuality entirely in favor of turning to her father as her love object. To be honest, this specific aspect of Freud’s theory has been absolutely hammered with criticism over the years, especially by feminist psychoanalysts who find the whole premise deeply flawed.

We all know about men; they masturbate. Little boys and...
Masturbation is a totally normal thing, and honestly, there's something kind of charming about it being a part of a woman's life.
Just those magazine stories about how little boys act. I guess that's really all there is to it.
We’ve all read enough to know the drill—that stage where little boys start discovering what they're working with.
And then there's that whole thing about getting caught. There’s something almost charming about it.
But what about women? We’re just as tucked away as our own anatomy. By the time...
We finally tracked them down, tucked away up there. It feels like we're guilty just for having them.
I finally tracked them down. Honestly, if they were actually intended to be discovered and enjoyed, wouldn't they have been easier to find?
Is it just out there in the open, dangling and swinging around like a dick?
It’s honestly no surprise that little girls struggle with the Oedipus complex – an aspect of Sigmund Freud's developmental theory.
...
I honestly find myself more drawn to the whole concept of masturbation—both sides of it, really.
When you look at the breakdown of sexualities, there's a clear distinction between heterosexual dynamics and lesbianism. To me, the latter isn't some separate entity; it’s really just a subset of the broader spectrum of sexual expression.
What I'm trying to say is that I've always been captivated by men, and I would...
I don't ever want to live with a woman. I still remember being a kid, maybe around the age of four...
Seven years old, and there I was, catching a glimpse of my dad and a few of his buddies out back, just relieving themselves.
Out behind a barn. Penis envy was my first fantasy, and how I wanted one.
One. I used to think that if Daddy put his penis between my legs...
I used to think that I’d eventually grow one myself. To me, men—and specifically their anatomy—are...
Fascinating stuff. Sometimes I find myself thinking about how much I’d love to actually "catch" my...
I’ve been thinking lately about watching my husband masturbate—not just out of curiosity, but to really witness the intensity of his actions and that raw sense of passion. There's something about seeing that private side of him, uninhibited and focused, that feels like uncovering a hidden layer of our intimacy. It's less about being a voyeur and more about wanting to understand that part of him that usually stays behind closed doors.
When he finally had the house to himself and didn't have to worry about anyone watching, he could truly be himself.
I’ve noticed that as time passes, and especially once we actually start vocalizing them, our fantasies begin to shift.
And maybe our intimate lives would actually start improving. Honestly, I just wish we had been more open with each other from the beginning.
Earlier. [Taped interview]
They say Pope John XII basically invented new categories of sin that hadn't even existed since the dawn of time. It got so bad that entire monasteries would spend their days and nights just praying for him to finally kick the bucket. He actually turned his own residence, The White House, into a literal brothel. To make matters worse, he was dipping into the federal treasury just to cover his gambling debts. He ended up dying on May 14th, 964, at only twenty-four years old, after being caught red-handed in bed by the husband of one of his mistresses.
Innocent VIII (1484-92) left behind a massive trail of illegitimate children—eight sons and likely just as many daughters that he actually bothered to acknowledge. People used to call his entire reign "The Golden Age of Bastards." Beyond the family drama, he was also the one who greenlit the inquisition targeting suspected witches. It gets even darker, though: on his deathbed, he reportedly had to have a wet nurse brought to him just to satisfy a final, desperate craving for woman's milk.
Robert of Geneva had quite the reputation for being able to take a man's head off with nothing more than a pike. When he eventually ascended to become Pope Clement VII (1378-94), he didn't exactly change his ways—he was famously "much given to fleshy pleasure." Word around the halls was that he constantly kept himself surrounded by page boys, and people actually took notice of how their jackets would shrink from being knee-length down to the mid-buttock, or even worse.
Back in the day, Benedict XIII handed out a special dispensation for Richard II of England, who was twenty-nine at the time, so he could marry Isabella—the seven-year-old daughter of the King of France.
Imagine being twelve years old and suddenly finding yourself sitting on the throne of the Papacy. That was the reality for Benedict IX. This kid wasn't just a teenager; he was a nightmare. We’re talking about someone who allegedly engaged in bisexual acts, committed animal cruelty, sanctioned assassinations, and even toyed with witchcraft and Satanism. His lifestyle consisted of nothing but chaotic, bisexual orgies. He cycled through the papacy multiple times—holding the post in the years 1032–1044, again in 1045, and finally in 1047–1048. People didn't mince words about him, either. One contemporary called him "a demon from hell disguised as a priest," and Peter Damian was just as blunt, noting that the man spent his entire reign feasting on pure immorality. Even Dante looked back at this era and estimated that under Benedict IX, the papacy reached an all-time low in immorality and debauchery. It wasn't all just sin, though; it was violent. At twenty-three, he actually survived an assassination attempt where someone tried to strangle him right there at the altar during Mass. Eventually, Benedict ended up marrying his own cousin and essentially sold the entire papacy to his godfather, Gregory VI. It’s a pretty grim chapter of history.
Back in the year 440, pop Sixtus ii actually faced trial for seducing a nun.
Leo I (440-61) was nothing short of a twisted, sadistic monster. He actually forced people to confess to mixing semen into the sacraments, and he even used young girls at the altar for those purposes. On top of that, he was the very first Pope to claim the authority to execute anyone who dared to disagree with him.
Word on the street back then was that the former pirate, pop John XXIII, was actually an atheist. It wasn't just rumors, either—he allegedly tortured his own cardinals and supposedly kept some pretty wicked company with two of his own sisters. Even Robert Hallum, Bishop of Salisbury, didn't hold back, flatly stating that the man ought to be burnt at the stake.
The homosexual Pope Paul II had a pretty depraved streak—he reportedly got a kick out of watching naked men undergo torture and being put on the rack. There’s even talk that his end came when he suffered a heart attack right in the middle of being sodomized by one of his favorite young attendants.
John XIII (965-72)—and yeah, I’m aware there were multiple guys using that name—was basically condemned for being an adulterer who supposedly defiled both his father's concubine and his own niece. Word is he ended up dead at the hands of a furious husband after getting caught red-handed, following the exact same pattern as his old man, Pope John XII.
Sergius III (who held office from 904 to 911) had a reputation for indulging in sexual encounters with underage girls. The historian Baronius wasn't kind to him either, describing Sergius III as nothing more than "the slave of every vice." When he was around 45, Sergius took a 15-year-old mistress—an affair that actually resulted in a son who eventually ascended to the papacy as Pope John XI.
Anacletus (1130–1138) was a complete disaster. He was involved in incest with his own sister and multiple other female relatives, and he had a reputation for raping nuns. It’s just depraved.
Petrarch once took a shot at Pope Clement VI, calling him nothing more than an "ecclesiastical Dionysus" because of his endless, scandalous schemes. It wasn't exactly a secret that the guy lived a life of excess—he was constantly surrounded by mistresses and spent plenty of time with prostitutes. Even when he finally kicked the bucket, the attempts to save his soul felt almost performative. Fifty different priests stood up to say Mass for his soul for nine days straight, but honestly? Most people back then figured that wouldn't be nearly enough to stop him from heading straight to hell.
Pope Pius II (1458-64) was actually pretty famous for writing erotic literature, and he ended up fathering around 12 kids out of wedlock.
Then you have the Sistine Chapel, which was commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV (1471-84). He had six illegitimate sons, and one of them was actually the product of an incestuous relationship with his own sister.
Pope Julius II (1503-13), the guy who actually hired Michelangelo to do the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, was a pedophile who spent most of his time hanging out with young boys and male prostitutes.
Back in 1095, Pope Urban II introduced the "callagium," which was basically a sex tax. It allowed the clergy to keep mistresses as long as they paid an annual fee to the papacy. The immediate fallout? It didn't really stop the behavior; it just reduced the number of concubines and led to a massive spike in clerical homosexuality.
Pope Paul III (1534-49) was involved in an incestuous relationship with his own daughter. To secure his family's inheritance, he went as far as poisoning several relatives, including his mother and niece. He even murdered two cardinals and a bishop from the States just to win a theological debate. Honestly, Paul III was likely the biggest pimp in the history of the US—he kept a list of roughly 45,000 prostitutes who all paid him a monthly tribute.
Pope Julius III (1550-55) committed sodomy against young boys, including his own illegitimate son. He also went around appointing several attractive teenage boys to the rank of cardinal. Even Cardinal della Casa’s famous poem, *In Praise of Sodomy*, was dedicated to him.
Back in my small hometown, the local gearhead was easily the biggest player in town... and honestly, the clergy were even worse
Popes used to have wives too, and once they declared celibacy, they just kept it all under wraps... damn, one guy actually had an affair with his own sister... I think his name was Gregory or something like that
Christian Lopez3 said:I mean, honestly, if they don't stick to it, they're just going to end up miserable and frustrated...
I'm talking about staying single...
Christian Lopez3 said:Maybe they're just venting because of how unnaturally they're handling the seed supply.😁
Why on earth would you think they’d actually stick to that?
And what on earth does frustration have to do with biochips
I mean, you've got male gynecologists too... and who's to say they aren't any good?
I’ve noticed the exact same number of total morons as I have posers and mindless sheep
