This sociopathological symptom became particularly expressed in the previous years, and the “modern alienation” began a specific transformation, so it is different from one from times before in form and volume. Today the alienation, despite civilization achievements, human rights and freedoms and democracy that “fe- eds” us immoderately, became much more intensive and abstract, and it latently transformed into the dominant social model of behavior. Scenes of sexual molestation of children, particularly on the Internet, sur- passed the critical point, and spread with very fast and dynamic tempo, partly because the technological platforms did not show usefulness that keeps pace with the problem, as they simply could not find an answer to the question: “What motivates people to sexual molestation of children?” Sexual molestation of children is one of the greatest atrocities because it relates to causing hard psychophysical consequences to this vulnerable social group. Children as the most endangered, innocent victims of this crime, live through terrible traumas, that are a result of physical and emotional abuse and neglect. Naturally, in the given context, various forms of exploitation of the ju- veniles shall be mentioned, such as child pornography or child trafficking for sexual exploitation... It is nonsensical that parents, people who are close to them, teachers, meaning those whose duty is the care and proper development of the children often become mapped as perpetrators or accomplices in this inhuman crime. Although violence against children is a frequent phenomenon, the level of reporting this crime is low, so the children as victims of this crime often remain invisible, not only in the domain of statistical reports and analytics of govern- ment agencies but in evaluating of efficiency estimations of current initiatives and strategies for combatting this sort of crime. What was said relates to the per- sons who are perpetrators of this crime – whom we call pedophiles, which makes phenomenology and etiology quite delicate. Pedophilia is a form of paraphilias, characterized by constant and intensive sexual fantasies, impulses and behavior that relate to children (usually under 13 years of age). This symptomatology is more expresses percentage-wise in males than in females, although it is observed that this deviancy is much more perfidi- ous and discrete in females. Pedophilia is present everywhere and can be found in all social classes, regardless of wealth, education, or religion. Some pedo- philes are attracted only by boys, other only by girls, and there is a third category Foreword of these persons who are attracted to both genders. Some pedophiles show a sub- tle affinity to certain physical attributes (age, build, face, hair, voice, etc.), while the others are less “picky”. These people, with personality structure disorder, are usually known to a child. They can be members of an immediate or wider family or persons with authority, like teachers and coaches. Some of them show inces- tuous tendencies and are attracted by children from their own families. This is a generally unspoken topic. Many family members avoid bringing that to the sur- face and try to handle the problem themselves because otherwise they will face public judgment and carry a social stigma. In that case, child-victim is exposed to additional risks for mental and physical health. Despite the statistics, the prevalence of pedophilia is debatable, as it is in- stinctively measured by the total number of registered pedophiles in the general population. Although sporadic pedophile impulses are more frequent than it is perceived, the long-term fixations and repetition of sexual fantasies that include children of that age are necessary for making a diagnosis by physicians. Natu- rally, estimations of physicians are made concerning special criteria, including being unable to control sexual impulses toward children, and the absence of proper functioning in business and family environment, or in interactions with friends. With a certain category of pedophiles, deviancy becomes a part of their personality. They became very susceptible and dedicated to it, and live by that. They are susceptible to get predatory attributes, and they are ready to use force or coercion for sexual exploitation of children. Many of them have antisocial personality disorder comorbid with some mental disorders. In time they can de- velop dependence from psychoactive substances, alcohol, and drugs. They were often sexually molested as children and come from dysfunctional families. On the other side, there is a group of pedophiles who are mildly aware of their auto- destructive sexual impulse, which makes them feel insecurity, anxiety, shame, and guilt. From all that was said, we can see all the complexity of this problem, which is very significant for the treatment perspective of the affected. The treatment is usually long-term and uncertain psychotherapy, with me- dications that affect sexual impulse and testosterone levels. The effects of treat- ment are limited. The best results are achieved when the individuals apply volun- tarily before they commit the incriminated offense. The treatment demanded

  • Bdsm, Kink, and Consent: What the Law Can Learn from Consent-Driven Communities
    BDSM, KINK, AND CONSENT: WHAT THE LAW CAN LEARN FROM CONSENT-DRIVEN COMMUNITIES Mika Galilee-Belfer* Millions of Americans participate in consensual, mutually agreed-upon activities such as bondage, dominance, and submission—collectively referred to as BDSM or kink—yet the relationship between individual consent to such participation and consent as legally understood and defined is imperfect at best. Because the law has not proven adept at adjudicating disputes that arise in BDSM situations, communities that practice BDSM have adopted self-policing mechanisms (formal and informal) aimed at replicating and even advancing the goals and protections of conventional law enforcement. This self-policing is particularly important because many jurisdictions hold there can be no consent to the kind of experiences often associated with BDSM; this is true in practice irrespective of the existence of statutory language regarding consent. In this Note, I compare legal communities and BDSM communities across three variables: how consent is defined, how violations are comparably adjudicated, and the types of remedies available by domain. In the process, I examine what norm-setting and rule adjudication look like when alternative communities choose to define, and then operate within, norms and controls that must be extra-legal by both necessity and design.

  • Scene Questionnaire
    Scene Questionnaire The following is a list of activities in the BDSM scene. It can be used by both the dominant (male or female) and the Submissive (female) to interview each other, and see what level both are at. It is also used to find commonality. Place a check next to each box which you can relate to the most. If confused, go to the next one, and come back when finished with the rest. Answer each question honestly. Where it says "Yes/No/Try" = means whether you've experienced that type of activity before. Put "Y" for yes or "N" for no and a “T” to try something new. Rating scale for checklist: 0 = Do not ever ask me to do this, or hard limit. 1 = I don't want to do this activity, but wouldn't object if it was asked of me. 2 = I'm willing to do this activity, but it has no real appeal for me. 3 = I usually like doing this activity, at least on an occasional basis. 4 = I love doing this activity, and would like to experience it on a regular basis. 5 = I love this activity it makes me "hot", and would like it as often as possible. Note1. Some of these may fall under a few categories (example: Blindfolds can be Humiliation & mental bondage) Note2. Some of these could be used for health reasons too (example forced exercising) CORPORAL PUNISHMENT Y/N/T # Activity Belts Bruises Cane (leather) Cane (plastic) Cat (braided) Cat (no knots) Crop Flogger Leather Paddle Paddle Spanking Whip Wooden Hair Brush Wooden Paddle ROLE PLAY Y/N/T # Activity Act as objects (cars, furniture, etc) Arrested Baby Burglar Attack Call Girl Cowgirl Interrogation

  • The “Jūdō Sukebei”
    ISSN 2029-8587 PROBLEMS OF PSYCHOLOGY IN THE 21st CENTURY Vol. 9, No. 2, 2015 85 THE “JŪDŌ SUKEBEI” PHENOMENON: WHEN CROSSING THE LINE MERITS MORE THAN SHIDŌ [MINOR INFRINGEMENT] ― SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR IN JŪDŌ COACHES AND INSTRUCTORS Carl De Crée University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Rome, Italy Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium International Association of Judo Researchers, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The sport of jūdō was intended as an activity “for all”. Since in 1996 a major sex abuse scandal broke out that involved a Dutch top jūdō coach and several female elite athletes, international media have identified many more abuses. To date no scholarly studies exist that have examined the nature, extent, and consequences of these anomalies. We intend in this paper to review and analyze sexual abuses in jūdō. To do so we offer a descriptive jurisprudence overview of relevant court and disciplinary cases, followed by a qualitative-analytical approach looking at the potential factors that prompt jūdō-related bullying and sexual harassment. Sex offenders may be attracted to jūdō because of: 1. the extensive bodily contact during grappling, 2. the easy access to voyeuristic opportunities during contest weigh-ins and showering, 3. Jūdō’s authoritarian and hierarchical structure as basis for ‘grooming’, 4. lack of integration of jūdō’s core moral component in contemporary jūdō coach and instructor education, and 5. its increasing eroti- cization by elite jūdō athletes posing for nude calendars and media and by specialized pornographic jūdō manga and movies. Cultural conceptions and jurisprudence are factors that affect how people perceive the seriousness and how these offences are dealt with.

  • Gender and SEXUALITY and Ada Demaj Feminist Researcher and Writer Residing in Toronto, Canada Sexuality
    Annual Review TOUCHING RACE THROUGH PLAY: of Critical Psychology 11, 2014 SADOMASOCHISM, PHENOMENOLOGY, AND THE INTERTWINING OF RACE Gender AND SEXUALITY and Ada Demaj Feminist researcher and writer residing in Toronto, Canada Sexuality Abstract When scholars research and theorize about sadomasochism (SM) as a sexual practice, they usually focus exclusively on how gender and sex- uality are played out in SM encounters, often neglecting other crucial identity categories such as race. In this paper, I undertake a phenom- enology-inspired, interdisciplinary discussion of the controversial SM practice of “race play,” which involves re-enacting and staging oppres- sive racist relations in a sexual context. I argue that exploring “race play” is important because it can reveal the ways in which race is closely intertwined with the erotic, even when race is not overtly acknowl- edged. Importantly, I argue that SM race play brings forth the ways in which institutionalized relations of domination and submission are always already imbued with eroticism, and that the erotic elements of contemporary sadomasochistic relations are inextricably linked to his- torical oppressive relations. I claim that further critical engagement with SM can bring to appearance the transformative and subversive potential of these practices. Keywords: Sadomasochism, phenomenology, sexuality, femi- nism, race play 97 ANNUAL REVIEW OF CRITICAL PSYCHOLOGY 11, 2014 Gender and TOUCHING RACE THROUGH PLAY: SADOMASOCHISM, PHENOMENOLOGY, Sexuality AND THE INTERTWINING OF RACE AND SEXUALITY Introduction This article seeks to examine whether and how race as a category that structures relations between people (and institutions) is manifested in sadomasochistic (SM) engagements. It is interesting to look at race in the context of SM because, as much recent empirical re- search reveals, self-identified SM participants generally perceive their SM relations as sub- versive, or as ‘rejecting social norms’ (Turley, King, and Butt, 2010).

Members of the kinky community welcomed me with all my quirks and were patient with my incessant questions. I will always value their strength and kindness. Members of the kinky community dared me to be fully present as a complete person rather than relying on just being a researcher. They stretched my imagination and did not let my theories go uncontested. Lively debates and embodied practices forced me to consider the many paths to truth. As every anthropologist before me, I have learned about both the universality and particularity of human experience. I am amazed. For the sake of confidentiality, I cannot mention specific people or groups, but I hope they know who they are and how much this has meant to me.

  • AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER
    AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER (Under the Direction of Reginald McKnight) ABSTRACT American Inferno, a novel, is a loose transposition of Dante‟s Inferno into a contemporary American setting. Its chapters (or “circles”) correspond to Dante‟s nine circles of Hell: 1) Limbo, 2) Lust, 3) Gluttony, 4) Hoarding & Wasting, 5) Wrath, 6) Heresy, 7) Violence, 8) Fraud and 9) Treachery. The novel‟s Prologue — Circle 0 — corresponds to the events that occur, in the Inferno, prior to Dante‟s and Virgil‟s entrance into Hell proper. The novel is a contemporary American moral inquiry, not a medieval Florentine one: thus it is sometimes in harmony with and sometimes a critique of Dante‟s moral system. Also, like the Inferno, it is not an investigation just of its characters‟ personal moral struggles, but also of the historical sins of its nation: for Dante, the nascent Italian state; for us, the United States. Thus the novel follows the life story of its principal character as he progresses from menial to mortal sins while simultaneously considering American history from America‟s early Puritan foundations in the Northeast (Chapters 1-4) through slavery, civil war and manifest destiny (Chapters 5-7) to its ultimate expression in the high-technology West-Coast entertainment industry (Chapters 8-9).

  • Women's Experimental Cinema
    FILM STUDIES/WOMEN’S STUDIES BLAETZ, Women’s Experimental Cinema provides lively introductions to the work of fifteen avant- ROBIN BLAETZ, garde women filmmakers, some of whom worked as early as the 1950s and many of whom editor editor are still working today. In each essay in this collection, a leading film scholar considers a single filmmaker, supplying biographical information, analyzing various influences on her Experimental Cinema Women’s work, examining the development of her corpus, and interpreting a significant number of individual films. The essays rescue the work of critically neglected but influential women filmmakers for teaching, further study, and, hopefully, restoration and preservation. Just as importantly, they enrich the understanding of feminism in cinema and expand the ter- rain of film history, particularly the history of the American avant-garde. The essays highlight the diversity in these filmmakers’ forms and methods, covering topics such as how Marie Menken used film as a way to rethink the transition from ab- stract expressionism to Pop Art in the 1950s and 1960s, how Barbara Rubin both objecti- fied the body and investigated the filmic apparatus that enabled that objectification in her film Christmas on Earth (1963), and how Cheryl Dunye uses film to explore her own identity as a black lesbian artist. At the same time, the essays reveal commonalities, in- cluding a tendency toward documentary rather than fiction and a commitment to nonhi- erarchical, collaborative production practices. The volume’s final essay focuses explicitly on teaching women’s experimental films, addressing logistical concerns (how to acquire the films and secure proper viewing spaces) and extending the range of the book by sug- gesting alternative films for classroom use.
