According to Wiki:
According to Freudian psychology, this complex often develops when the sufferer is raised by a cold and distant mother. Such a man will often court women with qualities of his mother, hoping to fulfill a need for intimacy unmet in childhood. Often, the wife begins to be seen as mother to the husband—a "Madonna" figure—and thus not a possible object of sexual attraction. For this reason, in the mind of the sufferer, love and sex cannot be mixed, and the man is reluctant to have sexual relations with his wife, for that, he thinks unconsciously, would be an incest. He will reserve sexuality for "bad" or "dirty" women, and will not develop "normal" feelings of love in these sexual relationships. This introduces a dilemma where men may feel unable to love any women who can satisfy them sexually and are unable to be sexually satisfied by any women who they can love.
Freud was a coke-head and in the words of Rick James, "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, and he was also a satanist as well, sex for sex in itself - which is totally fine. I never ever agreed with Freud - however, the Madonna/Whore Complex is in fact alive and well - perhaps due to mass media's effects on our society?
