The impact may reflect your own sexuality. Remember, the actual act is unimportant (the weird shampoo sodomy thing) but actually the mother's reaction is the key point. You may experience a castration complex, leading to a few of the following things:
> You may displace your shame onto others. You might have an innate repulsion against sex or even have attempted to ruin others' pleasure as a kid (i.e. telling your parents you want to sleep between them to ruin their nights' fun).
> You might be homosexual. The pleasure from the act will have been repressed (different to regressed) and may now be a fixation. If you are gay, you can possibly blame her.
> You might be more hostile towards her or others due to it. This might include sadism (displacing your shame onto others. Remember what I said about contraries?)
> You might be subconsciously attracted to your mother due to the incident (falsely associating the two events with the single pleasure)
If anyone wants to read the primaries for these theories, read book 1 in pic related. It contains all this and much more, including case studies which can be fun to analyse yourself.

Is Pelican Freud Library (pic related) the best collection of Freud's works in English translation? I know they are fairly comprehensive but lack letters and some works designed specifically to teach therapists their trade. If not, what is the best collection?
