"In Neo-Freudian psychology, the Electra complex, as proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, is a girl’s psychosexual competition with mother for possession of father. In the course of her psychosexual development, the complex is the girl’s phallic stage formation of a discrete sexual identity; a boy’s analogous experience is the Oedipus complex. The Electra complex occurs in the third — phallic stage (ages 3–6) — of five psychosexual development stages: (i) the Oral, (ii) the Anal, (iii) the Phallic, (iv) the Latent, and (v) the Genital — in which the source libido pleasure is in a different erogenous zone of the infant’s body."
Are you attracted to people that look like your father (if girl) or mother (if guy)? Elaborate.
For myself, up to a certain point (~18) I was fascinated with the stereotypical Nordic-type blonde (looking like my mother). Nowadays I find them repelling, romantically speaking. The thought of being with someone that looks like my mother perplexes me.
I am quite fond of curly hair + dark eyes though (similiar to my father).
