Paraphilia's Theory Of Sexual Deviance

Sexual deviance is a type of behavior an individual has when they present characteristics where sex is always on their mind. Individuals that are sexual deviance not only think about sexual activities all the time, but unusual ways to perform sexual activities. This situation can sometimes be a behavior that is out of the norm. However, there are some people that have their own perception about this behavior, and think it is normal. Sexual Deviance can either be a social or justice related issue. If the situation is a social influence the behavior can be defined as a behavior that is not a crime such as, a person that just always having sex on their mind. If the behavior is justice related this mean the person is exhibiting those behaviors that violates the right of others such as, a person that rapes another individual. People also define sexual deviance as part of their religion. For example, Amanda Smart the fourteen teenager that was kidnap by David Mitchell. David thought it was part of his religion to kidnap her and have sexual activities with her and for her to become his wife. He even had what he called his first wife watch him perform sexual activities on Amanda. He stated to Amanda it was part of his religion to kidnap young girls that were virgin. But, this was not a religion case, David use that as an excuse to rape Amanda everyday while she was held hostage. Sexual deviance is a behavior that should be assessed carefully to see if this a non-crime behavior and

Sexual norms being repressed can lead to this disorder acting as a form of blockage. Adults who go through such a situation may make them “feel guilty or conflicted about engaging in adult sexual relationships” (Finkelhor & Araji, 1986). There is also the norm about masturbation being inappropriate for adults. When these norms are seen as inappropriate, individuals act out to release pressure. This ends up being at children. Many people with this disorder, as we have seen previously, are antisocial. Their relationships are not well or nonexistent. The only people they can take advantage of are children who are small and

The practice of bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, sadism-masochism (BDSM) is heavily associated with psychopathology. However, BDSM may be thought of as a recreational leisure, rather than the expression of psychopathological processes. The essential structures of the BDSM experience are discussed in terms of authentic concept, association with psychopathology, and how sex education might diffuse stigma and warn of the risks of this life style. Sexuality, in all its forms, is incredibly variable -- so much so that we might do better to consider that incredible variability the norm. Our genes, our environments, our experiences -- these things are what make us individuals, with slightly different behaviors, emotions, desires and erotic fingerprints. "Like many, many other sexual behaviors, BDSM is part of a normative sexual experience that feels healthy and enjoyable to many people," says Herbenick. "This is something that is consensual and involves a good deal of communication, which are both things that are important to any pleasurable experience."

There has been much debate about why people commit sexual crimes. As far as to what causes people to become sex offenders, there is no real answer to this question. No single factor can fully interpret why someone commits a sexual offense, though it is believed that some combination of factors may combine to increase sexual deviancy dramatically. These factors include biological, circumstantial, environmental, and sociocultural aspects of the person, describing the development of abnormal sexual expression through the same mechanisms by which conventional sexuality is also learned (Terry and Tallon). There are a number of sub-theories which have been designed to explain the onset of sexual deviancy. However, because no one can pinpoint the dynamics of sexual deviancy, different theories have been developed to study and account for the development of sexual aggression and behavior. An explanation of the main theories is offered below:

Paraphilia's has been recorded throughout human history and societies have has different beliefs on them that carry on until today. Some can be harmless and only directly affect a person and their consenting partner, while others violate personal rights and even laws. Paraphilia’s are defined as " a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities." There are several different types of paraphilia’s, some of those include, necrophilia, frotteurism, sadomasochism, and zoophilia. Necrophilia is when a person engages in sexual intercourse with a corpse, frotteurism is when a man rubs

Although irrational, many of these drives originated during childhood. According to this theory a child’s first six years of life is divided into three stages. These three stages, characterized by a type of sexual pleasure, are as follows, oral stage, anal stage, and phallic stage. Oral stage is present during infancy. It holds the idea that the mouth is the erotic body part. The anal stage, present throughout toddlerhood, holds the idea that the anus is the erotic body part. The last stage, phallic stage, is present during the preschool years. This stage holds the idea that the child’s libido declares his or her genitalia as their erogenous zone. After these three stages there is latency, and then genital stage (Berger, 2008).

A perplexing amalgamation of culture and nature led to the pathologizing of sexual perversion by 19th century “sexologists” (Peakman 1). Richard von Krafft-Ebing first introduced the term ‘sadism’ in his book Psychopathic Sexualis (1886). Sadism includes the experience of mental and physical suffering as pleasurable (Holguin 1285). Later defined as one of the “modern perversions” by Sigmund Freud, it was traditionally seen as existing within the male domain (Schaffner 182), and as a type of “male sexual cruelty” (Wayne 542). Furthering Krafft-Ebing’s work, Freud suggests that sadism’s “life preserving aggression” in males is natural and biologically determined (Holguin 1286).

Sexual fetishes are a form of intense arousal due to a fixation of an inanimate object or a specific human characteristic. Types of fetishes can be viewed as acceptable and others can be seen as abnormal based on societal standards. However, the unknown factor of these fetishes is whether they are innate or adapted throughout the course of life. The factors that make up the defining line between normal and abnormal fetishes are somewhat undetermined, however, it is interesting to study whether the causes of both share similarities in their development. These fetishes can create changes in social behavior, thinking and overall function.

Sexuality is very diverse, in some instances normality is based on the cultural context of the individual's society. In "The other side of desire" by Daniel Bergner, the author goes in depth into the lives of four individual's whose lust and longing have led them far down the realms of desire. The current paper addresses the four individual's Jacob, the Baroness, Roy, and Ron each exhibits a paraphilia that may or may not meet the full criteria in the DSM-5. Furthermore, each's specific paraphilia is conceptualized and explained in depth. Also, countertransferential issues anticipated before working with these individual's is analyzed and clarified. Also, the apprehension of sexual arousal and sexual behaviors is conceptualized into normality

A Case Study of Preferential Bestiality ( Zoophilia) (part 1 and 2) are two relevant articles about bestiality that makes it see as an atypical sexual orientation rather than a disease.ual preference only. The recent articles discussed above were published by the university of Lethbridge and performed by the psychologists Christopher Earls and his College Martin Lalumière. These articles argue the assumption of a few previous studies that claim people who perform zoophilia do not have necessarily have to be mentally deficient individuals, but as an atypical sexual preference. The fact is that long time ago the area of criminology done most of its studies based on Zoophilic cases and came out with the hypothesis that Zoophiles are stereotypically viewed as only mentally deficient individuals but never as a atypical sexual preference only.The articles discussed above show audience an opposite hypotheses about this subject.

I found that one might have a paraphilia that is necessary for sexual satisfaction (i.e. submission or bondage) and their not at all interested in sex if it does not involve this paraphilia. At the same time, one might have a paraphilic behavior but it is not necessary all the time for sexual satisfaction. They may only engage in this behavior occasionally and may have many other sexual interests. I am leaning toward one developing a paraphilia due to a habit they had early in life that may not have been of a sexual nature but when being repeatedly associated with the activity they become sexually aroused because it was pleasurable.

In summary, sexual masochism is a psychiatric disorder of an abnormal or unnatural attraction. It

Within our modern minds reside two very different ways in which we deal with the subject of sexuality. The conceptual framework of modern society, to some extent, has developed out of past notions about the body. We can see that springing from our historical roots, issues concerning sexuality have been dealt with through mutual feelings of desire and disgust.

However, there are theories relating to sexual paraphilias. Those theories include the suppression of sexual fantasies, which grow stronger when they are not acted out. As it relates to masochists, the belief is that their real desire is to be the dominant sexual partner, causing yet greater conflict, but still renders them in the submissive role. There are some professionals who believe that the sexual behaviour is actually an escape, allowing the participants to shed their daily personas and feel new and different. Others think that it is an early childhood trauma, perhaps sexual abuse, or some other major childhood experience that manifest as exhibitionist

The nature and nurture of the human Sexuality has been a debate argued among scientists and philosophers. It is believed that human sexuality is the key to reproduction and survival. This debate is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behaviour reflects the influence of genetically arranged maturity or wether it comes from learning and experience. This essay will explain to what extent human sexuality is the result of nature or nurture, it will also relate sexuality to the Biopsychosocial model.
