"A Special Type of Choice of Object Made by Men," Sigmund Freud (1910)

[H]e comes, as we say, under the dominance of the Oedipus complex . . . [if] these impulses do not quickly pass, there is no outlet for them other than to run their course in fantasies: that of saving the beloved woman in order to win her love and obtain a baby from her, and, as a reaction to his hostility toward the father, the fantasy of saving him from a life-threatening danger by some heroic action.
