This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Isn't it just dead simple in that a mother is caring and gives you the feeling of safety, generally speaking, so you look for that in a partner too?

So it's not that you want to fuck your mom but you look for positive traits in a partner that you parents instilled in you.

Agreed, it's that familiarity I referenced! But talking from Freud's perspective, "if it isn't about sex, then get out of here" (paraphrasing):))
