but funny enough, (i just have to throw this out here), freud believed that we were most sexually frustrated when we were young kids, especially between the ages of 2-10. it's the whole thing about the son wanting his mother, and the daughter wanting her father; but in reality the child knows that can't happen as the other spouse is there. therefore the son competes with the father (or daughter with her mother). but isn't that just f*cked? it's funny cuz my psych prof two years ago said he witnessed this with his son. he used to get very angry when he was weened of breast feeding and when he saw his father touching his mother, he'd get mad at his dad because she wouldn't let him (the son) breast feed or touch her (for that matter) anymore. i dunno if i really believe that it was due to some sexual repressed conflict though.
