The Oedipus Complex is definitely still around... It's the foundation of how psychologists analyze romantic relationships and different attachment styles in men with insecure and avoidant attachment stemming from mothers that neglector abuse their children respectively. This is founded on the idea of our sexual attraction being rooted in our mothers.

Freud was not necessarily wrong, but he only saw psychopaths like himself. That's why Jung shitted on him and proved that Freud was not scientific.

Jung was a psychological genius who was "normal" in regards to his personal psychological behavior. He also had an insane high IQ. Freud on the other hand was a psychopath and because Freud made the assumption that his psychology was "normal", he thought his thoughts of fucking his own mother were normal and his strange behavior of wanting to suck anything in reach was a general behavior of all people.

Freud was just unable to analyze psychology, because he was not a sane person with a healthy mind. If you want to know the real psychology, Jung is where you have to look at. Jung solved all puzzles of psychology except one.

The only reason Jung didn't want to publish his findings was because he couldn't enter the inner psychology of other people and only his own. Because his analysis was useless for therapy (Jung realized his books require an IQ that is too high, so he didn't even try to get people to study his psychological way to perfection), Jung simply did some minor things and left his real psychological analysis into his Red Book.

The problem with his Red Book is that if your IQ isn't high enough, you simply can't understand it. It's literally impossible to understand Jung's Red Book with a low IQ, because you need insane brain power to reach the 4th dimension, which is in summary what you will reach if you understand the Red Book.

You should start reading actual books so you get basic knowledge on how to theorize: the bigger the extension of a concept, the smaller its comprehension; the smaller the comprehension of a concept, the bigger its extension. The Oedipus complex is real, but it is too general so mostly npcs are subject to it at 99% accuracy (and most of them are over-mediatized US subhumans)

>mainstream psychology declares the Oedipus complex ridiculous and false
It doesn't exactly declare that, tho. Rather, it declares Freud's theory of the complex as the universal process of male psychological development false (and it is), but maintains that the sorts of mental pathologies that Freud described are definitely real and close to what Freud described them as. In fact, the common understanding differs in being way more complex and fucked up than Freud ever imagined them to be. He was right (and definitely brilliant for his time and state of science) to identify and describe neurotic conditions stemming from mommy issues, but he was wrong to describe the entirety of male psychological development through it.

>step mom / milf porn one of the most popular genres
The points of Freud I pointed out are supported by this phenomenon, but his overall framework is proven wrong by the fact that step mom porn is just ONE of the most popular genres. If the framework was right, it would be the one dominant genre, and only an extreme minority of men would jerk off to teen, lesbian, gangbang, loli, interracial, BDSM, brother-sister incest, exhibitionism, cuckoldery, watersports, etc - which is blatantly not the case. Oedipus complex just cannot account of the sheer variety of common sexual fixations that we actually observe in reality, so it can't be the end-all be-all of psychological development.

And that's before we consider how many men jerk off to milf porn without paying much attention to it being milf porn (it is one of the most vanilla genres out there, after all), and how many of men watching this sort of porn never had milfy mothers, and therefore developed attraction to milf sans Oedipus.

>Mainstream psychology declares penis envy is sexist and not real
It doesn't, though. It classifies it as a symptom (of depression or that "gender dysphoria" thing or whatever), while Freud declared to to be universal (and therefore normal). By agreeing with Freud on this you're essentially saying that ALL women are FtM troons in various stages of denial, no exceptions.

Saying the Oedipus isn't a universal developmental crisis is kind of saying that Freud's wrong, though. And, also, despite the relative acceptance of attachment theory, mainstream psychology absolutely treats psychoanalysis as ridiculous and false, seems silly to deny this. The narrow view of what it takes to counter Freud's argument ("not all porn is about mommies!") is kind of misunderstanding the idea that negotiating triangular conflict in the object world and the threat/experience of castration is the basis for the institution of a person's mature superego (and therefore adult personality development). Similarly, the idea that penis envy is simply analogous to gender dysphoria, and a special case rather than a generality, misses Freud's point about constitutional bisexuality and the consequential dynamic repression that attends the establishment of any child's identity.

>Saying the Oedipus isn't a universal developmental crisis is kind of saying that Freud's wrong, though.
That's why I stated "it doesn't EXACTLY declare that". My point is that psychoanalysis was a vital historical point for development of psychology, and it was so because Freud made some brilliant observations and conclusions - even if he proceeded to develop those into a skewed theory. Mainstream psychology outgrew psychoanalysis, not discarded like a false dead end - therefore it's not exactly in direct and hostile opposition to Freud's findings, as OP suggests.

>The narrow view of what it takes to counter Freud's argument ("not all porn is about mommies!") is kind of misunderstanding the idea that negotiating triangular conflict in the object world and the threat/experience of castration is the basis for the institution of a person's mature superego
So is the popularity of step mom / milf porn as an argument for prevalence of Oedipal influence - OP already assumes unresolved complex. I merely extend OP's own logic further until it contradicts reality - "if dudes jerk it to mommies because of universal Oedipal fixation, then how come people jerk to everything else as well?"

I think it's important to understand that the Oedipus complex doesn't have to mean that you LITERALLY WANT TO FUCK YOUR MOM. It's about competing with your dad over the first "female" you're aware of, which is somewhat different.

But yeah, men tend to marry their mothers, i.e. women who are very much like their mom. There's a reason why beautiful women seem kind of "heavenly" and it's because of the divine feminine archetype that largely stems from the experience of one's mother.

Although desu I lean more toward Jung as evidenced by this post.

Agreed. I have been making my through his Basic Writings, and I really do find it to hard to believe he was some crack pot or weirdo. He was far ahead of his time. People are rightly afraid of Freud, mainly because Freud's psychoanalysis is a mirror, it shows you yourself in all of its ugly form, everything hidden away is revealed, it bleeds out into seemingly erroneous actions, through symptomatic actions, through speech, reading, writing, and so on. The average person, especially today, is afraid of what lies in their unconscious.

Freud = degenerate subversive
Jung = based
This thread is atrocious.
"However, by means of these speculative leaps, Freud managed to diagnose
Western culture as essentially neurotic while apparently, on the basis of the
argument in Moses and Monotheism, holding the view that Judaism represents
the epitome of mental health and moral and intellectual superiority. Freud
appears to have been well aware that his highly subversive conjectures in Totem
and Taboo were entirely speculative. When the book was called a “just so” story
by a British anthropologist in 1920, Freud was “amused” and stated only that his
critic “was deficient in phantasy” (Gay 1988, 327), apparently a concession that
the work was fanciful. Freud stated, “It would be nonsensical to strive for
exactitude with this material, as it would be unreasonable to demand certainty”
(in Gay 1988, 330). Similarly, Freud described Civilization and Its Discontents as
“an essentially dilettantish foundation” on which “rises a thinly tapered analytic
228
investigation” (in Gay 1988, 543)."
"The theory of the Oedipal complex, childhood sexuality, and the sexual
etiology of the neuroses—the three central doctrines that underlie Freud’s radical
critique of gentile culture—play absolutely no role in contemporary mainstream
developmental psychology. From the standpoint of evolutionary theory, the idea
that children would have a specifically sexual attraction to their opposite sex
parent is highly implausible, since such an incestuous relationship would result in
inbreeding depression and be more likely to result in disorders caused by
recessive genes (see MacDonald 1986). The proposal that boys desire to kill their
fathers conflicts with the general importance of paternal provisioning of
resources in understanding the evolution of the family (MacDonald 1988a; 1992):
Boys who had succeeded in killing their fathers and having sex with their mothers
would not only be left with genetically inferior offspring, but also be deprived of
paternal support and protection. Modern developmental studies indicate that
many fathers and sons have very close, reciprocated affectional relationships
beginning in infancy, and the normative pattern is for mothers and sons to have
229
very intimate and affectionate, but decidedly nonsexual, relationships."

>> No.21856453

>>21856442
"Finally, another general mistake, and one that illustrates the political nature of
Freud’s entire agenda, is that sexual urges are viewed as having a powerful
biological basis (the id), while traits such as responsibility, dependability,
orderliness, guilt, and delay of gratification (i.e., the conscientiousness system of
personality theory) are imposed by a repressive, pathology-inducing society. In a
comment indicating the usefulness of these psychoanalytic notions in the war on
gentile culture, James Q. Wilson (1993a, 104) correctly states that the belief that
conscience “is the result of repression is a useful thing to believe if you would like
to free yourself of the constraints of conscience—conscience becomes a ‘hangup’ that prevents you from ‘realizing yourself.’ ” It fact, conscientiousness is a
critical biological system which has been under intensive eugenic selection within
the Jewish community (see PTSDA, Ch. 7). An evolutionary perspective implies,
rather, that both systems have a powerful biological basis and both serve critical
adaptive functions (MacDonald 1995a, 1998c). No animal and certainly no human
has ever been able to be devoted entirely to self-gratification, and there is no
reason whatever to suppose that our biology would solely be directed toward
obtaining immediate gratification and pleasure. In the real world, achieving
evolutionary goals demands that attention be paid to details, careful plans be
made, and gratification be deferred."

Precisely. Freud thinks that individuals are horrible until some kind of law descends on them from above. It is a thoroughly Judaic way of thinking. He's too philosophically clumsy to ask the question of how the "law from above" gets there; since he's an atheist, he has to believe that nothing comes from "above" and everything begins at the root with human beings. But if we're corrupt in the first place, there can be no such top-down discipline.

Psycho analytic literature goes even more abstract. The complex is about realizing there are limits and permissions on your drives that are set by those two people (even one, because father is a function). This can have constitutional effects. The very notion of two people, the division of the world in those two poles, the distance that allows individuation, the entrance into society, the acceptance of mores, the setting of direction in life by the discourse of those people, almost everything is attributed to the complex.

My own little theory for why milf porn (and fetish porn in general) is so popular is because it's a way for humans to engage in sex without the inherent risk of pregnancy (older women being less/not fertile) same with all other fetishes, even homosexuality.
Either that, or it's somehow simply evolutionary advantageous to "cast a wide net" and be horny for everything, as opposed to exclusively to optimal mating partners (young fertile healthy women)
It's really not that complicated, evolutionary psychology gets a lot of flack in academic circles but Occam's razor is always at its side, especially if you have to compete with wacky psychoanalysis
