The genital stage, which begins at puberty and is the final phase of psychosexual development, involves a reawakening of sexual drives. During this period, incestuous urges from earlier stages resurface but are redirected toward socially appropriate partners, who may often resemble the individual's opposite-sex parent. According to Freud, this stage is marked by mature sexual interests, defined as a strong attraction to the opposite sex. Individuals who have successfully navigated the preceding stages without developing fixations are considered to be well-adjusted and healthy adults.
