Any hard evidence please?

When you start a post by referring to that post as pure and utter bullsh*t and referring to crushes on Julia Roberts. Expect to be pulled up on the fact you are 21 and have lived little of life and have a lack of life. That you refer to a character an actress not real life only highlights my point.

Don't get hung up, it's a fact, now go home and and w**k into a tissue over Erin Brokovic your "crush". Oh you are a student am I meant to be impressed by that? Is that somehow meant to make me realise something?.

Ooh, I've definitely touched a nerve, haven't I? Why did I say it was bullsh*t? Because it was (in my opinion). And I only referred to my affection for Julia because it was relevant to the discussion, that many men around my age are attracted to well preserved, older women. The truth is that most men of Eden's age would find women like Eva to be attractive, ergo the thought of Eden thinking of her as a mother is pure nonsense. Why is that so hard for you to understand, my friend?... Oh, and by the way, it's Erin Brockovich.

I was under the impression men who are attracted to women 20 odd years older is due to the below statement. Free therapy for you, hope it helps.

You’ve always had this secret admiration for your mother – the truth is you haven’t outgrown Freud’s Oedipus complex and you fantasize about those things that Freud became famous for.

OK guys, you're all very clever and wise. Enough now, it's getting silly.

Oedipus didn't know his mother, like we don't know the whole story.

I'm with Valerie.

Lolol i would have thought a psychotherapist would have recognized this!

Courtois and Azpilicuetta Gay lovers confirmed.

 

 

De Bruynes bird was just a decoy. I see what he did there!

Don't know why I'm bothering to write here... but we can be almost certain these rumours are all rubbish because Carneiro is in the process of taking Mourinho and the club to court for unfair dismissal. If she had been sleeping with a player they would have every right to dismiss her for unprofessional conduct and she would be a fool to sue no matter how good her lawyers are (very good).

I'm a Jungian not a Freudian.

I do recognise this but I disagree fully with Freud. His attention was focused solely upon sex. I stand with Jung who disagreed with Oedipal impulses. The relationship between mother and child is based on love and protection, nothing more. My attraction to Julia Roberts is irrelevant to Freud's theory of the Oedipus complex. To draw connections between the two is a case of over-analysing things, in my opinion (even Freud admitted that "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"). If I must delve into self-analysis then try looking at it from a Jungian perspective. For instance, perhaps a younger man's attraction to an older woman is simply an attraction to the Earth Mother archtype, which is present in many cultures around the world and doesn't just assume a direct connection to incest... Frankly, though, I think the Oedipus theory was Freud's projection of his own inner demons and his way of bringing attention to his work (and psychoanalysis in general) by giving it shock value.
