Oedipus complex – an aspect of Sigmund Freud's developmental theory

Benjamin Price8 said:Whatever, I was bored anyway 😁

Fine, I'll accept it 😁

Walter Myers4 said:Look, it’s just a collection of "true confessions" from women about their sexual fantasies, written by some woman who calls herself a sexologist... honestly, none of that really matters. I actually dig the subject matter, and the topic was set up well enough.👍

Yeah, as long as we don't get too carried away in the comments... though you should probably check out Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus by the same author; it's actually a bit better 😉 ...anyway, the author spends the entire introduction complaining about how perverse men are.😁 😁

Benjamin Price8 said:Yeah, just let's hope things don't get too heated... though honestly, you should check out "Men in Love" by the same author, it's actually a bit better 😉 ...anyway, the woman spends the entire intro complaining about how perverted guys are 😁 😁

Perverted? Seriously? Give me some details here. 😁

Walter Myers4 said:Why so perverse? Give us more details.😁

Look, Secret Garden is all about female fantasies, whereas this stuff hits on male ones... and honestly, they feel pretty original, at least from where I’m sitting. Personally, I found everything I was looking for.😁

By the way, I nearly fell asleep halfway through Secret Garden out of pure boredom. You women are just too innocent for your own good.😁

Benjamin Price8 said:Look, Secret Garden is all about female fantasies, but this stuff? This is pure male territory... and honestly, they feel way more original if you ask me. I definitely found everything I was looking for in there. 😁

Anyway, I almost passed out from boredom reading Secret Garden... you ladies are just way too innocent. 😁

So, what exactly are these "incredible" fantasies of yours?🙄

Walter Myers4 said:So, what kind of wild fantasies are we actually talking about here?🙄

Just read it and you'll see... I doubt you'll be totally shocked, but compared to women, they’re definitely more twisted 😉 ...assuming Secret Garden is actually authentic... though the real question is just how open women were back then... hmmm

Walter Myers4 said:maybe think about whether you've ever been jealous of a friend's penis... personally, I know I have, just during some childhood games,

Are you sure you didn't just read Freud and then go ahead and reconstruct your own memories to fit? 😁

I don't get it—why would anyone be jealous of a penis? Give me a little more context here, because I'm honestly lost. 🤔

I don't get it. Why on earth would I be jealous of a penis? Seriously, explain yourself, because that makes zero sense to me. 🤔

Look, it's just like being jealous of your friend because she has a prettier Barbie doll or bigger boobs... it's just pure, childish jealousy. 😁

Hmm, that’s a pretty bold claim.
Judging by myself, I’d say it’s the exact opposite, but then again, I don't exactly fit the typical mold, so who knows... 🙄

Walter Myers4 said:I mean, why are you so jealous of your friend just because she’s got a better figure or bigger boobs... honestly, it’s just childish jealousy.😁

Look, I haven't been envious of anyone—not even a little bit. I'm just not that kind of person. 😁

frozenangler9 said:Look, I’ve never been the jealous type. Seriously, envy just isn't in my DNA. 😁

maybe you're more the envious type, personally.👍

frozenangler9 said:Huh, now that is a pretty interesting take.
If I’m being honest about myself, I’d say things work the exact opposite way for me—but then again, I don't exactly consider myself your run-of-the-mill woman, so who knows... 🙄

For instance, I actually think I *am* a typical woman. 🙂

The reason this question popped into my head is because... well, what does "typical woman" even mean? And why is being one considered good or bad? (It seems like women constantly distance themselves from being "typical" as if it's some kind of insult)
Here is an idea for a new thread 🙂

Ever since I’ve been aware of my own body, I’ve always understood the purpose of a penis, and it was a perfectly normal thing for me to accept. Honestly, though, I was never even jealous of them because, let's be real, they aren't exactly winning any beauty pageants. I think they look a bit better to me now, but back when I was a little girl, I thought they were just plain ugly. My only real grievance is that they have such an easy time peeing, and they don't have to deal with monthly periods while we do.
