Psycho-Sexual Spiderman

So these Spiderman movies are pretty good. I'd say the second was better than the first. Doc Oct was cool. How did they do all that shit?

But let's get to the most intriguing element of the movie - when Spiderman loses his web making power...

It seemed to coincide with when MJ is in love with her astronaut boyfriend, when Peter Parker's "girl of his dreams" is off with someone else. He no longer is able to have the fantasy girl and hence loses his ability to shoot white wads of sticky stuff. You get where I'm going with this...Spiderman's power comes from his celibacy, but with the knowledge that his dream girl is out there, available and willing. Hence, he is able to masterbate all he wants, because he is potent but unwilling to "waste" his web on an actual girlfriend.

That is why Spiderman can't have a girlfriend. It's not because he's afraid of her getting hurt - doesn't that seem like a weak excuse anyway? The real reason is he can't waste his jizz on MJ when he needs it for his superpowers.
