Is it normal for young children to have sexual feelings for their parents?

I can remember as a very young child, 2 - 3, maybe as late as 4, having sexual feelings for my mother. I also had these feelings for an older half-sister, though I didn't know she was my sister at the time. I grew out of this, but I'm still curious.

Is It Normal?

  • Oedipus complex.

    Electra complex.

    Look it up.

  • I'm going to have to say no, but you did make me remember that I used to have a crush on a biological cousin when I was a child. I had no concept of what incest was then (oh! The irony!) and that it wasn't normal for me to be crushing on my cousin.

  • maybe your mom used to fuck in front of you before you can remember

  • Not... really... no... not at all...

    But hey, you could be confusing what you actually felt as a child. Considering you were only 2-4 years old, memories can morph into weird stuff as time goes on.

  • Yeah it is normal, part of developing sexuality. My friend is very pretty and her 3 year old boy kisses her on the lips and grabs her boob. its nothing incestuous, he just doesn't know any better. it's like all little girls go through a phase of wanting to marry their dad. it isn't sexual it's just part of development.
