Yes I know I've got a dirty mind...

[Lieva]

i have to ask though
Champion weps might be a similie of how women views the male reproductive organs
what about males who choose to play a mage - that staff is pretty big

[awarkle]

penis envy is somthing made up by psycologists who never get along with women.

I adopt the following theory.


Women are just insane

fullfills all eventuallalities and i cant blame a phalic symbol

[Satyn]

Women envy the male sexorgan? Give me a break! And i smoke cos of that aswell? rofl
That statement is stupid. I said i dont want my hero a too big weapon but i dont want it as small and as tin as a cigarette either!

and like gamblor said about the boat on the ocean something something is correct. Well imo that is.

There's a psychological theory behind the reason why some women smoke cigarettes, called "Penis Envy". This is a genuine theory centred around the idea that some women are envious about the male sex organ. The cigarette is a phallic symbol to such women and smoking is a sort of "compensation" for them not having a penis.

Champions' weapons being reduced in size, if it's been done by a woman programmer could be another way of "compensating" for the lack of the male sex organ, in this case, by reducing the size of it so it becomes less enviable.

On the same level as all the shite that Desmond Morris spouts.

haha that was Sigmund Freud who came up with that - he called it the Electra Complex, and yeah, he was seriously messed up Not only did he say that about women, he said that all men grow up as little boys wanting to have sex with their mothers (Oedipus Complex) <sigh> lol

[Reza]

it isn't the size of the boat but the motion in the ocean that counts =)

Aye aye Skip, but you dont take a dinghy into a storm.

agreed - addon: anyone who smokes is insane. A stinking rod, that's what it is, at least my willie doesn't stink. Any person smoking isn't envying my katana, she's/he's being an idiot.

I think you should read after the given psychologist instead of judging through a forum reply which may or may not be accurate

nice pic in your sig! :bggrin: (well, it made me laugh)

I agree. while I think Freud's ideas can't be applied to anyone anyway, you have to remember that his theories are over 100 years old.

What Gandelf posted is innacurate - by Freud's theories, smokers are considered to be 'orally fixated'. Penis Envy is something else entirely.

1. Oral Stage (Age 0 - 1.5)

Erogenous Zone in Focus: Mouth

Gratifying Activities: Nursing - eating, as well as mouth movement, including sucking, gumming, biting and swallowing.
Interaction with the Environment: To the infant, the mother's breast not only is the source of food and drink, but also represents her love. Because the child's personality is controlled by the id and therefore demands immediate gratification, responsive nurturing is key. Both insufficient and forceful feeding can result in fixation in this stage.

Symptoms of Oral Fixation:
·Smoking
·Constant chewing on gum, pens, pencils, etc.
·Nail biting
·Overeating
·Drinking
·Sarcasm ("the biting personality") and verbal hostility

according to Freudian theory, you smoke because either your mother overfed or insufficiently fed you as a baby. go blame her for your cancerous habit.

3. Phallic Stage (Age 4 - 5)

Erogenous Zone in Focus: Genital

Gratifying Activities: Masturbation and genital fondling

Interaction with the Environment: This is probably the most challenging stage in a person's psychosexual development. The key event at this stage, according to Freud, is the child's feeling of attraction toward the parent of the opposite sex, together with envy and fear of the same-sex parent. In boys, this situation is called the "Oedipus Complex" ,named after the young man in a Greek myth who killed his father and married his mother, unaware of their true identities. In girls, it is called the "Electra Complex".

Boys, in the midst of their Oedipus Complex, often experience intense "castration anxiety", which comes from the fear of punishment from the fathers for their desire for the mothers. Girls' Electra Complex involves "penis envy". That is, according to Freud, the girl believes that she once had a penis but that it was removed. In order to compensate for its loss, the girl wants to have a child by her father. Success or failure in the Oedipus conflict is at the core of either normal psychological development or psychological disorder. If a child is able to successfully resolve the conflict, he or she will have learnt to control their envy and hostility and begin to identify with and model after the parent of their own sex, and are ready to move on to the next developmental stage.

Phallic Fixation:
·For men: Anxiety and guilty feelings about sex, fear of castration, and narcissistic personality.
·For women: It is implied that women never progress past this stage fully and will always maintain a sense of envy and inferiority, although Freud asserted no certainty regarding women's possible fixations resulting from this stage. Similarly, Freud admitted uncertainty on the females' situation when he constructed the "penis envy" theory in the first place.

but like I said, Freud's theories are over 100 years old now.
