Freud would have something to say about that.
We were learning about fairy tales that involve an animal bride/groom (like
Beauty and the Beast). Apparently Freud and Bettleheim both thought that the stories represented how kids were raised to think of sex as a scary or foreign concept (hence why there's the scary or gross animal) and as the story progresses and the human grows to love the creature (warms up to sex) the animal turns into a human also.
