i have to write a term paper for my psychology class on why some of Freuds theories are socially unacceptable.
I know that this is probably the wrong place to ask this since most of the answers community hasnt read a book since high school but ill give it a shot
My paper is going to be on why it is socially unacceptable for adolescent and early teenage boys to fantasize about their mothers sexually. i dont want answers like cuz its ur mom that gets me no where
Heres my reasoning of why it should be acceptable(i dont believe its acceptable but i have to play devils advocate here): when a male and female mate sexually the intercourse is deemed "making love" and at that age and time in a young boys life most likely the only female he has ever truly "loved"(whether he will admit it or not lol) is his mother and rightly so as she has been at his side taking care of him his whole life. when the hormones and puberty set in the young male become sexually aroused and only naturally turns to his instincts of fantasizing about a women that he loves, at that age again the only one is usually the mother, so i ask why should this be socially unacceptable? the young male is turning to the female that he loves, though she is a blood relative, to fulfill his sexual desires but yet it is frowned upon?
 
Freud spoke from a different generation and ideas that were socially unacceptable during that era should be reviewed today with a more opened and objective approach. Is it abnormal? No. Much like masturbation society frowns upon it like it's the devils deed yet for a young boy it's a sexual awakening and really nothing else. And suppressing it only leads to feelings of guilt and shame. Beyond that age especially a man in his 30's would be classified as creepy and abnormal.
 
because their are two very different definitions of love. their is loving someone in a very caring, non sexual manner, than their is loving someone for their physical attributes and being connected on an intimate level. at a young age, yes the mother is the only loving figure in his life but loving in the manner of nurture and care, not any form of intimacy. the boy shouldnt fantasize about someone who is not on an intimate level, you cant even conceive of that. he should fantasize about anyone else not blood related because u simply cant connect with someone on an intimate level with family members
this was a little hard to explain because this is a tough question but good luck
 
What will you learn, if you get your answer here? You have shown that you Can Think, so why not "Do the Work YOURSELF!" .. That way, You WILL Actually 'Learn Something', in the process of study & research for YOUR Paper! .. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, & I Could give you a real "Bobby-Dazzler" of an answer! ... But,, more than likely, I would Deliberately give you a brilliantly incorrect answer. ... (Hopefully, to teach you to study for your answers yourself.) ..... I don't know how many times I have done this on the Science & Mythology Forums! ... So, even IF an answer Seems Great,,, Just be aware, that there are others too that Do this, & you might be using a pack of Lies for your paper! ... The ONLY Way to know for sure,,, Is to STUDY YOURSELF!!
