I'm interested if anyone actually has a conscious recollection of one

Not parents having sex! Its more in a general sense like what moment from your childhood really stands out in your mind and has defined alot about you. I guess I've got the meaning mixed up slightly lol!

(Glad you put that addition in your question...cause I always thought memories of your parents having sex was the definition of "primal scene"...and that is something I never try to remember.)
I was two and while my dad was in college he and my mom managed a quaint little roadside motel that had a pool. Well, one day, right in front of my parents, I decided to see what the bottom of the pool looked like and jumped into the deep end...and promptly sank to the bottom.
I can consciously remember looking up and all around me as I stood on the bottom of the pool. I didn't panic, didn't suck down water, I just expected everything to be okay. And it was, my dad jumped in, pulled me out and I was fine. (they were hyperventilating)
That attitude I had when I was two? I still have it...I'll jump into the deep end and I will expect everything to be okay...and 9 times out of 10 it is.

uhm uhm
ok i have a MA in psych, do you mean what i think you mean? can you define "primal scene"?
If it is what I think you mean, by my first childhood recollection of adults having sex, it would be a television moment. My parents must have been very discreet.

Grabbing the fiberglass curtains( that were so popular in the 60's) cutting my finger and ummm breaking training.
I was about 18 months. This is the first conscious memory that I have.
I learned not to trust things blindly.

it might sound silly but when i first read the X-men and could not understand why if they were superheroes people would not accept them , for it open a path in my life , because it meant that i could be different from the rest of the people and even if they did not accept who i was that was not a reason no to do the right thing PROTECTING THOSE WHO FEAR THEM
i guess you understand what i mean
