it might not have been sexual impluses, but you may have perceived them to be, how do you know she experienced a bodily release? what evidence have you got to suggest this to be true?

The oedipus complex is when a child wants to have sex with a parent, coined by Fraud. My friend is studying for a doctorate in psychology, and uncovered to me some truths about Freud. The fact is that in that day, Freud discovered that a large percentage of his clients had been sexually abused as children, however, the powers that be was shocked and horrified of this finding and threatened to silence and end Freud's career if he ever made this known, so the oedipus complex was created. It is not normal for a child to want to have sex with a parent, however, there are many adults who have warped minds and desire to have sex with a child, not for sexual pleasure, but to control and manipulate children, a sadistic part of them. The oedipus complex makes it out that it is children that are sexually deviant, and possibly to blame for sexual abuse, but it is the other way round. If Freud did his findings in this day and age, that complex wouldn't have even existed.
