I was watch S7E1 of Frasier, where Frasier falls for a woman that is nearly identical to his mother, and they go away for the weekend to celebrate their father's birthday, where Niles identifies what has happened as an "oedipal complex".
Watching the episode, I remembered when I was about 7, I was in love with my mother, and I was sort of mad at my dad, and late into it (it lasted a few months), I was afraid my dad was gonna beat me up or disown me because he could read my mind.
I haven't thought of it in a very, very long time. Freud claimed it's a universal experience, though it's been argued that while it may be a common psychological phenomena, it's far from universal.
I'm posting on /int/ because there also a lot of sociological and anthropological arguments about what cause it and how it works.
Have you had the oedipal complex? Have you wanted to marry/sleep with your mother and despised your father? For me it was a very short phase (2-3 months). I think it resolved when I realised my parents were happily married and you're supposed to be involved with other people in your age group.

TL;DR: Have you had the oedipal complex? Have you wanted to marry/sleep with your mother and despised your father?

No, I haven't. But I've wanted to fuck some of my friends' mothers (and they treated me almost like a son).
I also wanted to fuck a few of my mother's friends.

I definitely have repressed sexual attraction to my mom

That's a different take on it, I suppose.

Also, because it bears repeating, I had the feelings in the space of a few months, and it completely disappeared. I didn't carry any sexual feelings for my mom or resentment for my father.
It's a short phase that's fairly common in male psychological development.
A lot of people might not even remember it.

There have been anthropological claims that it's localised to the west, but I think that's complete bullshit.
I think any context where a young boy spends a lot of time around his mother (as is natural), there's a high likelihood of it happening.
It's not cultural, it's just developmental psychology.

My mother was single for a most of my early childhood, so no.

I just find it interesting. I've literally never thought of this before.
It just came up on an episode of Frasier, and I looked up "oedipal complex", and it perfectly describes what happened to be when I was 7 years old.
I didn't know it was a common experience. I just thought I was big fat momma's boy or something. But it is a fairly common psychological phase.

Well it is still happening to me but like, not in reality at all. In reality it is disgusting for me to even think about it, I want to vomit. But sometimes, like once a month or once a few months I dream about my mom teasing me for sex or somehow sexually. It usually feels really great in the dream to contemplate it but when I wake up I feel ashamed, embarrassed and disgusted. But I also am not sure if that's same thing as you describe or some psychological effect from porn.

FUCK YA MUM LAMAO
