Kermit Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Adults attracted to minors are called pedophiles, we all know that. But is there a name for the state of mind in which minors seek out similar relationships with adults, or are minors deemed not able to come up with such thoughts? Not that i'm actually going through that or anything, it's just a curiosity about what it's called.
atinymonkey Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Oedipus complex, based on the greek myth of Oedipus who killed his father and married his mother.
Sayonara Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 The Oedipus Complex only describes one very specific instance of "the state of mind in which minors seek out similar relationships with adults", and it doesn't do it terribly well.
