Did I just really say that?

[Just JT]

So Friday night I think I was talking with some friends, and yeah I think I had a couple beers in me by them. But we were talking about our parents, how they look, that kinda stuff. Like we'd probably look sort of like them when we're their age. And so I said that I thought my dad (adoptive dad) was a pretty good looking guy. And they all started bustin on me and stuff. And I said, well yeah, I think he's pretty hot, and if I was his age, I'd have sex with him.

Oops, I couldn't believe I actually said that in public lol!!! I was so shut down that night lol!!

So I've been thinking about this all weekend now. So no I'm not like crushing on my dad, but yeah I think he's pretty hot. Kinda like how you might find some dude in a porn movie hot kinda way.

So I was wondering if any of you ever felt like that about older members of your family at all. I know there's no blood relation, and I've only been here about a year, so it's not like I was raised to view him as my dad, so maybe that's a difference?

Sooo....anyone else....uncle cousin step parent or whatever....ever? Or am I whacked?

[Sailor Mars]

I've thought the same. It's more appreciative than actually wanting to do something imo. I find a lot of my cousins attractive but I wouldn't have sex with them

[SethfromMI]

well, I would never say someone is whacked because I know sexual attraction/physical attraction can be deeply complex issues. me personally? no I never felt that way about any member of my family, male or female. oh there is the standard acknowledgement of she is a beautiful individual or whatever, but I still wouldn't think about them in a I am physically attracted/sexually attracted type of way

I will say, be careful who you express these feelings to. these things have a way of getting around to people and the wrong person could cause trouble over it. it is not something society would approve of and whether you care what society thinks or not, it could not only cause trouble for you, but for your step-dad as well. best not to try to dwell on such thoughts.

[Just JT]

Ok, cool, thanks. And SethcromMi yeah I wouldn't share that with just anyone. It was t like that, but I do get what your saying, thanks man...

Freud is gonna dig himself out of his own grave to read this post!

Who is Freud?

[drhalsey1]

Who is Freud?

Sigmund Freud did a lot of psychoanalysis and psychological work. Including studying attraction.

[Cadanance00]

I once said if my mom was my age I would have sex with her, that is if she wasn't my mom. Of course if she was my age she wouldn't be my mom so it's a moot point. She's 35 and she hasn't put on weight or anything mostly cuz she's vegetarian ans she still looks good.

I don't think it's Freudian unless you want to have sex with a parent with them being your parent if that makes any sense. Well, YKWIM.

[nekid]

One of my cousins is 22 and I think he's handsome, and pretty hot to be honest

[jamie_n5]

I don't think you are whacked or anything either. I have relatives and others that I admire and think are kinda hot too. We all have sexual fantasies I think. Nothing wrong with that my friend.

Yeah keith was saying that under his psychological theory, everything we do is motivated by sex or sexuality in some root cause way in the end. Almost makes sense.

And thanks everyone for your posts, now I know I'm not whacked, not normal, but not whacked either. I'm not alone in this....thanks

Freud was a heavy cocaine user...

His theories helped shape science as we know if today. They were unfalsifiable and consequently invalid. To denie having sexual fantasies in Freud's theory, would be to simply be supressing them from your own consciousness. Utterly unprovable one way or the other, and therefore fails.

Who is Freud?
Sigmund Freud was one of the most famous psychologists all of time, and was particularly famous for his theories on sexuality and the subconscious, and believed that children are subconsciously attracted to their parents.

It's not just Frued, basically any psychological theory is not provable. As the theorist can only speculate as to why, or what, a person or mi d is thinking or is motivated by. Basically rendering all psychological theories and principals invalid and wiping out an entire medical cornerstone in modern huminsation.

The basic shit is that we're simply trying to understand shit we really don't, and these dudes, made some this up, that in some ways make sense, and some ways don't, and some other dudes build off that shit.

And in the end, what do we have?

A bunch of shit....

May I suggest you have no idea how psychology works.

Not trying to get off topic or cause a debate, but.....
Physchologal theories, are just those, theories. That does not mean I do not believe them, or some of them. All I was saying is that basically, your statement about being unprovable and false, could be applied to any psychological theory or perspective. Again, not saying I agree with that, only that this is a possibility.

May good well known psychologists have provided many different theories oabout human behavior, and in my opinion, based on my own life experiences, tbh, think there are some truths in all of them, it's a matter of what you believe in. Here's a link that I think sums up a good amount of detail of different perspectives of psychological perspectives, which is not scientific, and slightly differ from each other from one to the other. Have a read, you may understand what I'm talking about better.

Anyways, thanks for posting on my topic....feel free to pm me on the topic of you'd like to discuss it further

No. No it isn't a possibility. To say what you say shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is and how it operates. One cannot 'cherry pick' what to 'believe in' in science.

Here's the falsifiability test as applied to material related science;

Gravitational force being exerted on everything on this planet is a theory. If an instance is observed of gravity not occuring, then the theory is debunked. It's the basic 'all swans I have seen have been white, ergo all swans are white' argument. When a black swan is observed, one cannot continue the claim that all swans are white.

If you believe gravity doesn't exist, or your 'perspective' on it differs, that doesn't mean gravity stops.

Freud's argument, unlike modern psychological theories, cannot be falsified nor can it be tested. Therefore it is invalid.

Name a single unfalsifiable peer-reviewed theory from the last decade, from an accredited source, and start a new thread if you can.

Sorry, but I felt this was a very important point to correct, as it may have misled the OP into trusting the discredited work of Freud on the subject. Please start a new thread to continue any discussion.
