Now, in various OEN articles, I have discussed how being a fan of a certain person involves being infatuated with that person. In the present OEN article, I discuss my experiences of being infatuated with the bodies of the busty (39") pornographic actress Mandy Flores and with the busty (37") young television actress Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series (1975-1979), the DVD version of which I watched in late August 2024 into September 2024 on the big-screen television in the living room of my home in Duluth, Minnesota.

In any event, my being infatuated with Father Ong as a teacher and author, and my being infatuated with Robert Moore as an author are both experiences of infatuation that extended over years of my life, compared with my shorter but still multi-year infatuation with the busty (39") Mandy Flores and my intense but much shorter infatuation with the busty (37") 5'9" tall Lynda Carter (born on July 24, 1951; with measurements of 37-24-37), weighing 122 lbs., in the fall of 2024.

My infatuation with the busty (37") young Lynda Carter's gloriously beautiful body in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume was extraordinarily intense of the fall of 2024, and my infatuation with the busty (39") Mandy Flores' gorgeous body during the two weeks in March 2025 when I had no phone or internet service and I was writing about her gorgeous body in detail in my wide-ranging and, at times, deeply personal 28,800-word OEN article "Fareed Zakaria and Ezra Klein on President Trump's Foreign Policy" (dated March 24, 2025).

My infatuation with Robert Moore and his work has been most intense during the time when I have been writing the present OEN article. (But I cannot single out a time in my long life since the fall of 1964 when my infatuation with Father Ong and his work was most intense.)

In any event, I have not been as deeply infatuated with any other male heroes in my life, not even with John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) or with the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), as I have been with both Father Ong and Robert Moore. (Now, Trump is not a hero for me in my life, but his name appears 55 times in the present OEN article.)

Similarly, I have not been as intensely infatuated any other women in my life, not even with Mina P. Shaughnessy (1924-1978) or with Sarah D'Eloia (1943-1990) (I knew both of them from my year of teaching at the City College of the City University of New York in 1975-1976), as I have been infatuated with the busty (39") Mandy Flores over the years and with the busty (37") young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume in the fall of 2024.

Now, I have constructed a positive Jungian interpretation of mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet, which of course includes the charming Mandy Flores' delightful 2017 video "Mom and Son Share a Creampie," in my OEN article "On Interpreting the Ubiquitous Mom-Son Porn on the Internet" (dated December 19, 2024; viewed 1,461 times as of July 21, 2025):

In any event, in my OEN article "On Interpreting the Ubiquitous Mom-Son Porn on the Interpret" (dated December 19, 2024), I use C. G. Jung's insightful account of symbols of rebirth in his 1952 book titled Symbols of Transformation: An Analysis of the Prelude to a Case of Schizophrenia, third edition, translated from the German by R. F. C. Hull (Princeton University Press, 1967, pp. 207-273; original work in German published in 1912) to interpret males viewing of mom-son porn that is available free on the internet as their expressing symbolically a deep psychological desire for rebirth.

Even though I see this interpretation of mom-son porn that is available free on the internet as expressing the male viewers' desire for psychological rebirth as basically positive, I have stated repeatedly in my various OEN articles that I do not expect to see the centuries-old incest taboo against moms and sons having sex to be overturned.

So, if mom-son fantasy skits in mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet are not a serious threat in the real world to the centuries-old taboo against moms and sons having sex, then what exactly is the appeal of the mom-son fantasy skits in mom-son porn videos that are available free on the internet?

To spell out the obvious, on one level, the mom-son fantasy skits are titillating to watch - and the titillation comes from the centuries-old taboo in the real world against moms and sons having sex.

But on another level, the mom-son fantasy skits evoke the desire for psychological rebirth in the male viewers.

Incidentally, in various OEN articles about fantasy, I explicitly have drawn on Jung's thought in Chapter II: "Two Kinds of Thinking" in his book Symbols of Transformation (1967, pp. 7-33). The two kinds of thinking are (1) fantasy thinking involving images and associative thinking; and (2) directed thinking involving logic.
