It focuses on crimes and other harmful sexual behavior related to the pursuit of sadistic sexual pleasure in North America and the U.K. It is intended to be a resource to educate people about how sadomasochism can lead to harmful and even deadly sadistic sexual behavior. I was prompted to write this paper by the release of the film Fifty Shades of Grey which portrays sadomasochism much in the same that Pretty Woman por- trays prostitution (Hughes, 2015). This collection of press accounts is a comple- ment to a paper I wrote more than a decade ago entitled The Link between Por- nography and Violent Sex Crimes (Peters, 2004). Unlike the earlier paper, this paper is not about violent sex crimes as such. A warning about the content of this paper Although there is nothing in this paper that is pornographic or “erotic,” the reader will be confronted repeatedly with graphic accounts of horrific sadomaso- chistic sexual abuse. Reading these accounts will be troubling and even unbearable for some readers; and if the reader finds descriptions of such abuse to be arousing, the paper may be a temptation to seek out pornography that depicts these types of abuse. There is a tension between the need to fully inform the public and the need to withhold information for law enforcement purposes and to protect public sensibil- ities and privacy. The press has been known to “sensationalize” sex crimes. This leads to desensitization. But there are also occasions when the public needs to know the whole truth, however unpleasant, but is kept (partly) in the dark. This leads to a lack of resolve. Published by DigitalCommons@URI, 2018 1 Dignity: A Journal on Sexual Exploitation and Violence, Vol. 3, Iss. 2 [2018], Art. 2 Be careful what you open the door of your life to For those contemplating sadomasochism as a means to “spice up” their sex lives, I say, “Be careful what you open the door of your life to because you don’t know what S&M will lead you or a partner into sooner or later.” Craig Johnson (1985) described the problem this way: Sadomasochism is indulged in…People like it. This is precisely one of the great dangers…A person tries it and finds it really gives him far out kicks. He may achieve orgasms like he’s never achieved before. It happens. Then he may come back to it, again and again…S/M works. (So, does LSD). But…he may forget (or never learn) that there are other, more deeply sat- isfying means to sexual fulfillment. S/M is very like using drugs to achieve sensation…He can become a ‘pain junkie.’ He may need more and more pain (or, if he is a sadist…to inflict more and more). Sexual addictions of any kind are difficult to break free from (Kheriaty, 2015). In his monograph Pornography’s Effects on Adults and Children (2001), Victor B. Cline described the problem this way: The second phase was an escalation-effect. With the passage of time, the addicted person required rougher, more explicit, more deviant, and “kinky” kinds of sexual material to get their “highs” and “sexual turn- ons.”…If their wives or girlfriends were involved with them, they eventu- ally pushed their partners into doing increasingly bizarre and deviant sex- ual activities. In many cases, this resulted in a rupture in the relationship when the woman refused to go further – often leading to much conflict, separation or divorce. Many of the accounts in this paper demonstrate that sadomasochist practices can start voluntary but lead to coerced behavior even murder. As in rape cases, trial judges and juries sometimes struggle to find perpetrators guilty in these situations, The role of pornography in sadistic sex crimes Sadomasochistic sexual abuse and pornography have much in common. If an individual becomes sexually aroused by binding a person and/or by forcing sex on a person, and/or by hurting, injuring or killing a person, he will also likely be sex- ually aroused by viewing depictions or reading descriptions of such behavior. Therefore, many men who commit sadistic sex crimes also view pornography that depicts bondage, rape, sexual torture, and sexual homicide (Cline, 2001). Pornography, however, does not have to depict sexual violence to serve as fuel or a trigger for sadistic sexual violence. Imagine an attractive young woman walk- ing by two young men who are sitting on a park bench. Both look up and see her walk by. One sees a person he would love to meet and spend time with. The other sees a woman he wants to hogtie, rape, torture and strangle. If the latter views non- violent pornography, he can also see a woman he would like to overpower and vi- olate. I will add that just because a news report or court opinion does not state that the (alleged) perpetrator possessed or viewed pornography doesn’t mean he didn’t do so. These cases, however, demonstrate that many perpetrators regularly view sadomasochist pornography. https://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dignity/vol3/iss2/2 2 DOI: 10.23860/dignity.2018.03.02.02 Peters: Sadomasochism: Descent into Darkness, Cases 1996-2014 The link between sadomasochism and sex trafficking For almost a decade, I read detailed investigative reports prepared by two re- tired law enforcement agents who followed up on citizen complaints about possible violations of federal internet obscenity laws. The hardcore sexual conduct depicted on some websites was so horrific that it defied the imagination that the women had voluntarily consented to participate. Of course, as Donna Hughes (2010) has pointed out in her article, “Sex traffick- ing of women for the production of pornography,” women who perform in hard- core pornography for pay often consent without (fully) comprehending what they will be subjected to: Women used in the production of commercial pornography in the U.S. are often subjected to violence and coercion during filming. Often, they pro- test and try to stop the filming or back-out before filming begins. Their protests are ignored, or they are pressured by their agent or the director to continue. Their experiences of coercion and trickery often meet the criteria for sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is a federal felony. Regardless of whether the conduct meets the criteria for sex trafficking from start to finish or only after a point in time, the point is that as S&M becomes ap- pealing to more people and as the pornography they

  • Achter De Schermen Achter Een Verkennend Onderzoek Naar Downloaders Van Kinderporno
    In dit verkennende onderzoek wordt getracht enig licht te werpen op het fenomeen Achter deschermen downloaden van kinderporno en met name op de persoon van downloaders. Wat is in de literatuur en bij opsporings- en hulpverleningsinstanties bekend over de achtergronden - geslacht, leeftijd, etniciteit - en motieven van downloaders? Gaat het uitsluitend om het downloaden en verzamelen van afbeeldingen of speelt Achter de schermen een seksuele voorkeur voor kinderen ook mee? Hoe functioneert de markt van vraag en aanbod wat betreft kinderporno op het internet en welke rol spelen Anton vanWijk,AnnemiekNieuwenhuisenAngeline Smeltink Een verkennend onderzoek naar downloaders van kinderporno downloaders: zijn zij enkel afnemers of ook producenten van kinderporno? Ook de manieren waarop downloaders opereren en proberen uit handen te blijven van de politie passeren de revue. Verder wordt beschreven wat bekend is over de omvang van het kinderporno- grafi sch beeldmateriaal dat op het internet te vinden is. Wat is de leeftijd van de afgebeelde kinderen en om welke seksuele poses gaat het? Uit het onder- zoek blijkt dat er verschillende profi elen van downloaders zijn te onderscheiden. Die profi elen behoeven door middel van vervolgonderzoek nog nadere inkleuring en toetsing. Voor de opsporing is het van groot belang om meer zicht te krijgen op de besloten netwerken op internet waar vaak grove vormen van kinderporno worden verhandeld en uitgewisseld.

  • The Case of J Effrey Dah M Er
    5 THE CASE OF J EFFREY DAH M ER OVERVIEW This chapter specifically addresses the highly publicized case of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial lust murderer responsible for the death and mutilation of 17 young men. In an attempt to create a working profile, several factors linked to Dahmer's social and family history, sexuality, education, employment status, fantasy system, and criminality are discussed. In Chapter 6, this developmental portrait is linked to the three principal theoretical models discussed within Chapters 3 and 4. Specifically, Chapter 6 explores what insights the motivational, trauma control, and integrative paraphilic typologies offer in their accounts of Jeffrey Dahmer's criminal behavior. This exercise is particularly useful since the goal is to ascertain the extent to which each conceptual schema advances our understanding of serial sexual homicide (i.e., lust murder) and those persons who commit this act. This chapter is divided into two sections. First, several methodological issues germane to our overall assessment of Jeffrey Dahmer are delineated. Given that our approach emphasizes the case study investigatory strategy, a number of remarks relevant to this line of analysis are warranted. Some observations regard- ing the elements of the case study method are specified, several justifications for the selection of a qualitative approach are outlined, and a description of the data is supplied. Second, both historical and biographical information concerning Dahmer's life is provided. These data are sequenced chronologically, commencing with his early childhood development and moving all the way to his violent fantasies, criminal conduct, and paraphilic behaviors. Profiling his case in this way allows 67 68 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LUST MURDER the reader to assess the merits of the general organization and facilitates a more comprehensive and seamless evaluation within the application work undertaken in Chapter 6.

  • Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadomasochism (Bdsm)/Kink
    BONDAGE AND DISCIPLINE, DOMINANCE AND SUBMISSION, 6 AND SADOMASOCHISM (BDSM)/KINK Brian is a white gay man of 55 who has been working with you in therapy for several sessions on the panic attacks and nightmares he has been expe- riencing following witnessing a person committing suicide at a tube sta- tion some months ago. For a couple of weeks you have sensed that there are some aspects of his life that he hasn’t been completely open about with you. At the end of a session he looks uncomfortable and says that there is something he has to tell you which he hopes won’t influence your opinion of him but which has been holding him back from talking about all aspects of his life. He says that he is in a 24/7 BDSM relationship as a slave for his partner, Jordan. Think about: • What is your formulation/understanding of the key issues for Brian? • What themes can you imagine emerging as you continue? • What assumptions might you bring to this? • How would you proceed? Being a kink-aware professional you let Brian know that you have some understanding of BDSM practices and relationships. He has probably already seen SM 101 and Powerful Pleasures on your bookshelf, and that probably helped him to tell you about this aspect of his life. Like many people, the idea of ‘24/7’ BDSM is one that you find difficult to understand, so you note your negative gut reaction as one you want to bracket as much as possible and explore in supervision.
