Youth.now supports the ongoing efforts of government and non-government organizations to address the health and social issues associated with early unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections including HIV among adolescents 10-19 years. Youth.now endeavours to improve access to quality reproductive health and preventative services and to combat improve adolescents' and providers of care to adolescents' knowledge and skills related to reproductive health. In order to bring about the needed changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices of adolescent service providers and care givers, which will support improved health- ASRH and positive life choices, an Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) Training Programme was developed to train trainers in the first instance. Trainers are expected to use this material to train adolescent care providers. To facilitate training, a Trainer Manual (TM) and a related Trainer Resource Book (TRB) were developed. Materials were developed through consultations with educators, service providers and facilitators. During consultative workshops, participants identify topics in six areas deemed essential to training trainers in adolescent sexual and reproductive health. The suggested topics are: FIGOJ/ASRH/TRB-07-02 v 1. Sexuality 2. Reduction of sexual risk taking behaviours 3. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) 4. Unplanned pregnancy 5. Abortion 6. Sexual abuse 7. Encouraging healthy lifestyles and positive health-seeking behaviours. (Youth. Now Report, p.1). The Trainer Manual was developed from materials compiled and written by the Advanced Training and Research in Fertility Unit, UWI, Mona. The manual outlines the aim of the training programme, suggested organization of workshops, content materials, methodologies for training participants, references to additional material support and presentation tips. The manual covers the following topics: 1. Introduction to Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health 2. 'Youth-Friendly' Health Services 3. Introduction to Adolescence 4. Reproductive Anatomy & Physiology 5. Contraceptive Technology In Adolescence 6. Promoting Healthy Lifestyles During Adolescence 7. Nutrition, Eating Disorders and Personal Health Care 8. Introduction to Sexuality 9. Sexuality and Gender Issues 10. Counselling Adolescents 11. Sexually Transmitted Infections 12. Substance Abuse 13. Crisis Issues 14. Care of Adolescent During Pregnancy and Childbirth F/GOJIASRH/I'RB-07-02 i 15. Abortion 16. Homosexuality, Bisexuality, Lesbianism and Heterosexuality 17. Evaluation of Training Programme, Trainer Manual and Trainer Resource Book Each topic is addressed within the following format: Session Topic Recommended Time Session Objectives Materials Advance Preparation Activities , with References to TRB pages Session Review/ Evaluation Reference NB. In some casesthere areadditionalresourcematerials. The training manual begins with an Introductory Session (Session One) where the Visualization in Participatory Planning (VIPP) is introduced as a part of the workshop process. VIPP Principles and rules are introduced and their use is recommended to ensure an atmosphere of warmth and to encourage the highest level of participation. Emphasis is placed on evaluation which is informal and qualitative, using the Mood & Feeling and Matters Arising Charts at the end of each session and Plus (+) Delta (-) at the end of the programme. Instruments for the evaluating the TM and TRB are included in the respective document. Facilitators are requested to complete these instruments and submit to Youth.now for analysis. The data/ information gathered will be used to improve the content and presentation and develop a revised TM and TRB. The Trainer Manual and Trainer Resource Book have been developed as a guide for the trainer/ facilitator and are intended to be used with much flexibility. The trainer/ F/GOJIASRH/TRB-07-02 vil facilitator can, and should, modify activities, tips and suggestions and also use others, which may be more relevant to participants and the training objectives, to stimulate discussion and participation. It is recommended that the manual is implemented in its entirety. The 18 sessions should take approximately 54 hours, or nine days with two sessions per day. The following table gives a recommended outline for scheduling the entire training programme: F/GOJ/ASRHI/TRB-07-02 vi I Ss ionDa Hor Ssio Hor 0OA Two: Day l\ One: Day 1 2 'Youth Friendly' Health 4 6 Introductory Session Services Three: Day 2 Four: Day 2 4 Reproductive Anatomy and 2 6 Introduction to Adolescence Physiology Five: Day 3 Six: Day 3 Contraceptive Technology

  • List of Paraphilias
    List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia

  • Necrophilia: a Study of the Psychoanalysis in the Characteristics of the Offenders Who Sexually Molest the Dead
    DOI Number: 10.5958/0974-1283.2019.00136.1 Necrophilia: A Study of the Psychoanalysis in the Characteristics of the Offenders Who Sexually Molest the Dead Anand Kumar Vasudevan1, Prashanthi Krishna Dharma2, L. Eccleston3 1Professor and Head, 2Assistant Professor, Department of Forensic Medicine, Sri Muthukumaran Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Mangadu, Chennai, India, 3Ex-Coordinator, Forensic Psychology Program, University of Melbourne, Australia Abstract Deviance, then may be considered one of the facts of social life. Almost all people, one may be sure, can recall some act of deviance from their own experience, they have committed either knowingly or unknowingly. This paper deals chiefly with the psychoanalysis in the characteristics of one particularly macabre sexual disorder – Necrophilia. Necrophilia, which is the erotic attraction to or obsessive fascination with death and corpses8, as far as we know is the rarest of all the perversions, nevertheless it expresses succinctly a facet of the perverse strategy that is common to all perversions. In its larger meaning this perversion is about the deadening and dehumanization of otherwise humanly alive and therefore threateningly dangerous or unpredictable desires. Especially alarming are those who murder to obtain a body for subsequent sexual violation (e.g. Dennis Nilsen). Researchers dealing with this study on necrophilia have conducted their investigations by psychoanalytic approach of the existing literature and an aggregation of data from the case histories to draw generalizations of the typology of the characteristics of these necrophiliacs. Keywords: Necrophilia, Psychoanalysis, Characteristics Introduction who we are and how we define ourselves and evolve sexually. Sexuality, whether one like it or not, is a major What sets us apart as human beings is our level of part of our psyche.

  • The Psychological Effects of Sexual Assault
    Journal of Modern Education Review, ISSN 2155-7993, USA November 2017, Volume 7, No. 11, pp. 754–764 Doi: 10.15341/jmer(2155-7993)/11.07.2017/003 © Academic Star Publishing Company, 2017 http://www.academicstar.us The Psychological Effects of Sexual Assault Phillip Neely, Jr., Angelia Griffin (School of Education & Social Services, Saint Leo University, USA) Abstract: There are three major problems related to the overall effects of sexual assaults. They are psychological, physical and emotional. Viewing these major problems could have a young woman being raped, by a man, and the court claiming it is all her fault because she dressed provocatively. This thought process rationalizes criminal, antisocial behavior, and lays the blame of the rape on the victim (Martin, 2007). Technically, a rapist could commit a sexual assault, say the victim asked for it, and get minimum punishment, if any. The National Institute of Justice documented that 26 percent of sexual assaults, 34 percent of attempted rapes, and 36 percent of rapes were reported to authorities (Kendall, 2010). These statistics were obtained from the Bureau of Justice which also provided justifications for those low numbers. These excuses include a lack of faith in the criminal justice system, fear of being blamed for the assault, dreading retaliation from the offender, and the shame of being publicly humiliated. Key words: intimate violence, sex addict, separation anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 1. Introduction The dynamics of intimate violence has to begin with stalking or similar premeditated behaviors. Sexual assaults are not normally spontaneous; however, a murder, in self-defense, could turn out to be.

Rochester Institute of Technology Stockholms: An Artifact of Kink as an Innocuous Method of Bolstering Kinkster and Fetishist Populations by Kenneth Jeremy Chen A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Industrial Design School of Design College of Imaging Arts and Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY May 1st, 2018 Signature Page ________________________________________________________ Stan Rickel - Graduate Director Industrial Design, Associate Professor ________________________________________________________ Tim Wood – Associate Professor Abstract This thesis is an attempt to affect and activate the population of consumers that are open to sexual experimentation, which in turn will provoke further discussion into sexual identity and sex positivity. Though there is a high percentage of people who engage in some form of kinky sex, there is still a lack of seriousness in accepting sexual fetishes as valid expressions of sexual behavior. And so designing by approximating a sort of midpoint between the hardcore and the novel, it would eliminate much of the critical nature one would take with an “other” group if people may find that they themselves are part of the kink/fetish community.

  • Necrophilia: Notorious Yet Obscure
    Symposia Melitensia, 2021, Vol. 17, pp. 15-26 Necrophilia: Notorious yet Obscure Michaela Cini, Mary Grace Vella [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Since time immemorial, necrophilia has presented itself both as a horrifying and a fascinating subject. Its taboo and perversion make it a compelling subject matter for stories, novels and movies. Yet, in spite of its notoriety, it remains relatively under- documented and under-researched Within various academic spheres. Given its idiosyncratic association with the bizarre, the issue has been primarily explored from a psychiatric and psychological dimension. The issue has been largely overlooked from a legal and criminological perspective. This paper aims to address this lacuna and contribute towards a more inter-and multi-disciplinary analysis of the subject by focussing on the legal aspects of necrophilia. The study utilises comparative and documentary content analysis to examine existing legal frameworks governing sexual offences with a specific focus on necrophilia. The analysis presents the ambiguous findings that despite its unorthodoxy, necrophilia is rarely addressed as an offence on its own right and contrary to expectations, it is generally meted out a more lenient punishment than other forms of sexual offences. The paper highlights that necrophilia, both in its notoriety and ambiguity, presents us with a deviant paraphilia which, although having a far-reaching impact on perpetrators, victims and society in general, still needs to be critically re-examined and adequately addressed. Keywords: necrophilia, paraphilia, sexual offences, crime Necrophilia: Notorious yet Obscure Necrophilia is consigned to the most bizarre, morbid and pathological states of human conduct.
