Within case studies, polls, statistics, and more, it is apparent that there is an incest norm within human psychology.

It is normal for a father to have an attraction to their daughter. By this, I mean, that 65% of fathers will have, at some time, an attraction to their own daughter. This norm enhances with step-daughters.

Knowing this, it is no wonder that many men lose themselves and become very unhappy and depressed thinking that there is something wrong with them. There are many men who find this attraction and then project it onto the mother causing a father and daughter vs. mother battle.

While the oedipus and elektra complex are known (sons and daughters having sexual fantasies about their parents), what do you think of this norm? Does it make you feel a little more sensitive to some men who think that there is something wrong with them for having an attraction to those that they "shouldn't"? Or do you out right disagree and refuse to believe such a thing..?
