In a move straight out of the DSM-V, a TikTok claiming when a couple is truly in love it's akin to a mother and son relationship is going viral on the social media platform.

The nature of the claim has sparked major debate.


The viral TikTok, posted by Lucia, better known by her TikTok handle @luciadavoo, compares romantic, heterosexual relationships to that of a mother and son.

The 13 second clip shows Lucia enjoying various moments throughout her relationship with her boyfriend with audio and text overlaying the video montage.

The narration accompanying the video reads:

"When a boy is truly in love, he will act like a child."
"But when a girl is truly in love she will act like a mother."

The audio—from Mitch Mullins—recently gained traction on social media.

People have taken to creating their own videos utilizing the sound clip.

While the narration may currently be wildly popular, its use as part of romantic couples' videos caused TikTokers to do a double take and point out the seemingly inappropriate comparisons being made.

What's known as the Oedipal complex was coined by the late neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, in his book Interpretation of Dreams.

Freud first introduced the concept of the Oedipal complex in 1899 and described it as a son’s unconscious desires for his mother during the psychosexual stages of development.

Freud claimed—in addition to these apparent feelings of lust for their mother—the child often feels a sense of jealousy and rivalry towards their father.

The name derives from the story of Oedipus—a mythical Greek king of Thebes who killed his father and married his mother.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
