[Becky]

Freudian theory that we all want to fuck our mothers and kill our fathers at some stage in early childhood. It is normal and the emotion need not be suppressed. Three year olds are normally to small to act out this desire.

[Becky]

The psychological term coined by Sigmund Freud named after the mythical king of Thebes and the legend based around him. In Greek myth, Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, but without knowledge that either were his parents. Freuds theory proclaimed that, at an unconscious level, a males sexual preference would be based around the actions and personality of his mother. The male child would also feel extreme animosity towards his father, again at an unconscious level. The phenomenon in females is called the [Electra Complex].
