You mean Electral and creepy.
Oedipus was a male in bed with his mother.
Electra was the girl with her father.
One other thing: I do not recall Electra having sex with her father. Do you have a proper reference for that? Electra plotted with her brother Orestes to murder their mother and stepfather as revenge for their mother and/or stepfather murdering their father (it is "and/or" because there are different versions of the story). But I do not recall an incestuous relationship between Electra and her father Agamemnon. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electra
Am I just forgetting some part of the story, or is this quite different from the situation with Oedipus?
