I think, yes. There are some adults I know who still live with their mothers and it seems that they will never have a normal relationship (but of course living with the mother is not a criteria for that, as there are men who live alone but still not able to create a normal relationship).
I think these guys have such high expectations which can't be fulfilled by anyone because no one can compete with the only women in their lives who love and overprotect them (or used to do it when they were kids). In my view these mothers usually didn't have a good relationship with the sons' father and when these children were babies they gave all their love to them as a compensation of their failed relationship.
This complex need to be cured by a psychologist, although most of the men goes to a therapist if they have sexual problems (like impontency).
(I am not a therapist just read about the topic so any other view is welcome.)
