Friedman believes in this case that it is often when the boy grows up, gets married and a baby is born. At one stroke his sexual partner becomes a Mother — and, put simply, he feels he cannot do sexual things with a Mother because that would somehow feel incestuous (although he wouldn’t recognise it as such). So he seeks out a Prahran Nanny substitute to tend to his physical needs. Or as the book says: “Deceiving their ‘children’ (as their parents once deceived them) they revert to their role of unfulfilled child and seek comfort once more in the arms of a surrogate (Prahran Nanny).”
