Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _________________________________ Natalie Ahmad Mahmoud Tayim ii Abstract The issue of hypersexuality in neurological disorders is grossly underreported. More research has been done into sexual dysfunction (outside of hypersexuality) in neurological disorders such as erectile dysfunction and hyposexuality (loss of libido). Furthermore, in Parkinson’s disease research, most mention of hypersexuality has been in conjunction with other impulse control disorders and has therefore not been examined in depth on its own. Although in recent years hypersexuality has become more recognized as an issue in research, there is still very limited information regarding its manifestations, impact, and correlates. It is therefore important to explore this area in detail in order to broaden understanding associated with this sensitive issue. Perhaps in doing so, barriers will be broken and the issue will become more easily discussed and, eventually, more systematically assessed and better managed. This thesis aims to serve as an exploratory paper examining prevalence, clinical phenomenology, impact, and potential feasible psychological interventions for hypersexuality in patients with neurological disorders and their carers. The thesis is divided into three main studies: 1. Study I: systematic review assessing prevalence, clinical phenomenology, successful treatment modalities, implicated factors contributing to the development, and assessment tools for hypersexuality in specific neurological disorders.

ON VOYEURISM: BEING SEEN ON THE MODERN STAGE by MEGAN MOBLEY (Under the Direction of Dustin Anderson) ABSTRACT At the end of the nineteenth century, playwrights grew more interested in exploring the ramifications of the gaze, looking and being looked at. For existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, the gaze causes a never-ending battle between our subjective selves, how we view ourselves, and our objective selves, or how others view us. The knowledge of the Other’s gaze allows us to self- reflect on our own existence. Sartre and Oscar Wilde each incorporate the gaze into their plays to explore the battle between our subjective and objective selves, gendered perception, differences in perception, and to undercut or demonstrates the dominant structures of seeing. By first exploring Sartre’s No Exit, I can observe how Sartre’s three main characters demonstrate Mulvey’s theories of the male gaze, a structure of looking which is influenced by the dominant social order.

  • Fetishism and Pornography: Some Thoughts on the Pornographic Eye/I
    Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory/Revue canadienne de theorie politique et sociale. Vol . IX, No. 3 (Fall/automne) 1985. FETISHISM AND PORNOGRAPHY: SOME THOUGHTS ON THE PORNOGRAPHIC EYE/I GRAHAM KNIGHT and BERKELEY KAITE It is common for feminist critiques of pornography to argue that its oppressive and sadistic character stems from its objectification of women by and for men. This position is problematic on a number ofgrounds. It assumes an equivalence between oppression and objectivity per .re, and defines the latter as passivity. It takes pornography to be formally and sensuously homogeneous, a static, visual regime of representation varying only in the sexual and violent explicitness of its contents . And it takes for granted the psycho-analytics of perverse pleasure and desire into which pornography has insinuated itself in such a massive way: in its concern with the objectification of women it has generally taken the obverse process of male sexual subjectification as unproblematic. In this respect Geraldine Finn's (1985) analysis of the "pornographic eye/I" opens up a critical area to which it makes an important contribution .' At the same time, we would argue, her analysis remains uncritical in its assumption of the radical separation of subjects and objects. Her analysis does not distinguish fully enough between the voyeuristic and fetishistic, and the political implications of this vis-a-vis the internally contradictory and unstable mode of representation that pornography embodies. Her call for the unspecified de-sexualisation of representation stands in danger of implicitly repro- ducing the essentialist, binarist system of sexual different - 'either/or-ism' - in which patriarchal power consists.

  • Defining the Emotional Contours of Exotic Dance
    44 Sexuality & Culture / Winter 2004 DEFINING THE EMOTIONAL CONTOURS OF EXOTIC DANCE Kari Lerum University of Washington, Bothell ([email protected]) Recent years have witnessed a surge of investigative and reflective writings about sex work, many by sex workers themselves. Katherine Frank and Elisabeth Eaves’ books are recent additions to this growing field of study. In G-Strings and Sympathy: Strip Club Regulars and Male Desire, Katherine Frank analyzes the contexts and meanings of strip clubs for heterosexual male clients. In Bare: On Women, Dancing, Sex, and Power, Elisabeth Eaves re- counts her experiences as a peep show dancer and stripper. Though covering similar territory, their analytic paths diverge widely. As a reader at the cross- roads of choosing either book, the choice is a matter of intellectual standards, taste, and purpose. Since the publication of Sex Work: Writings by Women in the Sex Industry (Delecoste & Alexander, 1987), an amazing surge of writings about sex work—most notably by sex workers them- selves—have surfaced in many academic and literary arenas. The recent books by Katherine Frank and Elisabeth Eaves are the latest arrivals in this exciting surge of sex worker self-definition and au- thority. Both authors take on the topic of strip clubs: Katherine Frank (2002) describes and analyzes the perspective of heterosexual male strip club regulars, and Elisabeth Eaves (2002) delves into the motivations of strippers including herself. Both books illustrate a variety of angles, styles, and qualities, all of which contribute to an evolving set of stories being told about the experience of sex work in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century.

  • Reconstructing the Law of Voyeurism and Exhibitionism
    TO SEE AND BE SEEN: RECONSTRUCTING THE LAW OF VOYEURISM AND EXHIBITIONISM Stuart P. Green* INTRODUCTION Lady Godiva was an 11th-century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who lived with her husband, Lord Leofric, in the English village of Coventry.1 According to a legend dating back to as early as the 13th century, the compassionate Godiva, concerned about the harsh tax burden her husband had placed on his subjects, appealed to him, over and over, for their relief. At last, weary of her entreaties, Leofric set forth this challenge: if his wife would ride naked through the center of town, the tax would be lifted. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and the next day rode her horse down the main street of Coventry, covered only by her long hair. According to one version of the legend, a proclamation was issued that all persons should stay indoors and shutter their windows during Godiva’s ride.2 According to an alternate version, the people stayed indoors voluntarily, shuttered behind closed windows as a gesture of respect and appreciation for her actions on their behalf.3 In the end, Lord Leofric made good on his promise and announced that the tax burden on his subjects would indeed be lifted.4 A subplot in a later version of the Lady Godiva legend involves the role of a young tailor known forever after as “Peeping Tom.” According to the story, the lustful Tom drilled a hole in his shutters so that he might see Godiva pass. As divine punishment, Tom was subsequently struck blind (or dead, according to yet * Distinguished Professor of Law, Rutgers Law School; Leverhulme Visiting Professor of Law, London School of Economics (2016–17).

  • Sexual Burglaries and Sexual Homicide: Clinical, Forensic, and Investigative Considerations
    Sexual Burglaries and Sexual Homicide: Clinical, Forensic, and Investigative Considerations Louis B. Schlesinger, PhD, and Eugene Revitch, MD Burglary, the third most common crime after larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft, is rarely the focus of forensic psychiatric study. While most burglaries are moti- vated simply by material gain, there is a subgroup of burglaries fueled by sexual dynamics. The authors differentiate two types of sexual burglaries: 1) fetish burglaries with overt sexual dynamics; and 2) voyeuristic burglaries, in which the sexual element is often covert and far more subtle. Many forensic practitioners have informally noted the relationship of burglaries to sexual homicide, but this relationship has not otherwise been studied in any detail. In this article, the incidence of (sexual) burglaries by 52 sexual murderers whom the authors eval- uated, as well as the incidence in cases reported by others, is reported. Implica- tions of these findings for forensic assessments and profiling of unidentified offenders are discussed.

  • THE MIND of the SEXUAL PREDATOR St
    THE MIND OF THE SEXUAL PREDATOR St. Augustine – 400 AD “Sin” originates in the mind and is run by the senses, the consequences are considered, if the consequences are NOT TOO GREAT the will takes over the mind and rationalizes the behavior. Consequences are offender specific and can be much different than normal values. BTK Interview WHAT IS SEXUAL DEVIANCY?

  • Sexual Fetishism in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner
    Bondage, Bestiality, and Bionics: Sexual Fetishism in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner BY KYLE J. NOVAK The Ridley Scott film adaptation of Phillip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is nothing less than a subtextual goldmine for film and literary critics alike. A favorite of the common movie buff and the crutch of every academic seeking to fully document its meaning, Blade Runner has been dissected, gutted, and had its components scrutinized more than any other science fiction film of its generation. Books are devoted to its deconstruction. Papers have been proposing new ways to look at the piece for decades, and indeed, this essay is no different. The sheer abundance of analytic material, though, poses a difficult question. Does Blade Runner simply act as a mirror to the critic's expectations or is it truly a source of infinitely complex themes and meanings? After all, to assume that every essayist's conclusions are true and, therefore, present in the film on the basis of a calculated decision by the filmmakers is quite spectacular. Ultimately, whatever the filmmakers didn't do deliberately, they did subconsciously, and the subconscious additions are of more scholarly value than what was sketched out on paper. Among these subconsciously included themes is the subject of the following quote: “More than any other American film genre . science fiction denies human eroticism and libido a traditional narrative representation and expression.”1 Sex in a science fiction film is not unique, but neither is it prominent. For the most part, popular culture agrees with this notion, considering how fans of the genre are often lampooned as socially-inept asexuals or sheltered life-long virgins.

One hundred participants were asked to complete an eight-page questionnaire that involved rating the import- ance of each of the contributors in overcoming each of the four problems in turn, as well as a personality measure and one of sexual attitudes. Factor analysis (with varimax rotation) of the coping strategies were performed, revealing three factors labelled ‘self-reliance’, ‘seeking help’ and ‘external control’, almost identical to those of Furnham and McDermott (1994). A number of multiple regression analyses indicated that various demographic details predicted beliefs about the importance of each of the three curative factors. Trait measures, as measured by the EPQ-R (short scale) and attitudes to sex, as measured by an adaptation of the Inventory of Attitudes to Sex (Eysenck, 1970) were weakly related to curative beliefs. As in previous studies, ‘will-power’ or self-reliance was seen as the most important factor in overcoming these paraphilias.
