  • Handler/Fetish CYOA V2.3
    Handler/Fetish CYOA v2.3 You meet a stranger whose face you can't see. She explains to you that she is the "Handler", a being with the ability to manipulate people's minds, interpersonal relationships and society. She is usually fair and doesn't abuse her powers too much, but lately she's been really bored and wants to have some fun. So she offers you a deal: you pick one or more of the following "Fetishes" she has, and you can use the gained points to acquire boons from her in the same deal. You get to choose beforehand how long the deal should last. You get the boons while the deal is in effect, or if the deal lasts for at least 10 years, you get the boons permanently. You can also make multiple deals. You can delay when deals start (though of course you won’t get boons from it until it starts). You can only pick each Fetish once across all your deals, you can’t “reuse them”. You also have to make your deals now, before your first deal takes effect. tl;dr: You can make deals. Each deal has a start time, a length, one or more fetishes, suboptions for those fetishes, and zero or more boons. You can’t pick the same Fetish in two different deals. How do you use this opportunity? Category I Fetishes Each gives you 2 points. There are also suboptions you can pick, that give or subtract points if you pick them. For example “-1p” means that it subtracts a point.

  • 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

  • Men's Sexual Rights
    Men’s sexual rights versus women’s sex-based rights WHRC Webinar, 18 April 2020 Sheila Jeffreys Intro: Hello Sisters! We are all here because we are concerned about the destructive impact of the transgender activist movement, which campaigns for ‘gender identity’ rights, is having on women’s sex-based rights. I am going to talk today about where this problem came from. I shall argue that the transgender rights movement is actually a men’s sexual rights movement. It is one aspect of the phenomenon that has been taking place since the so-called sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, of establishing men’s sexual freedom, their freedom to exercise the male sex right. The so-called sexual revolution of the 1960s and 70s unleashed a men’s sexual liberation movement which required that women and girls service men’s sexual desires. From it grew the sex industry in the form of pornography and the toleration or legalisation of all forms of prostitution. What were once called the ‘sexual perversions’ were also released and seen as an important aspect of men’s liberation. Their practitioners were relabelled ‘erotic’ or sexual minorities and they set about campaigning for their rights. The practices that men’s rights campaigners sought to normalise included, alongside their use of women in pornography and prostitution, sadomasochism, pedophilia and transvestism, which is now more commonly called transgenderism. A men’s sexual freedom agenda is in opposition to the rights of women to be free from violence and coercion, the rights to privacy and dignity, and to the integrity of their bodies.

  • Crossover Sexual Offenses. Abstract
    Crossover sexual offenses. Heil P1, Ahlmeyer S, Simons D. Abstract Crossover sexual offenses are defined as those in which victims are from multiple age, gender, and relationship categories. This study investigates admissions of crossover sexual offending from sex offenders participating in treatment who received polygraph testing. For 223 incarcerated and 266 paroled sexual offenders, sexual offenses were recorded from criminal history records and admissions during treatment coupled with polygraph testing. The majority of incarcerated offenders admitted to sexually assaulting both children and adults from multiple relationship types. In addition, there was a substantial increase in offenders admitting to sexually assaulting victims from both genders. In a group of incarcerated offenders who sexually assaulted children, the majority of offenders admitted to sexually assaulting both relatives and nonrelatives, and there was a substantial increase in the offenders admitting to assaulting both male and female children. Although similar trends were observed for the sample of parolees, the rates were far less dramatic. Parolees appeared to have greater levels of denial, had participated in fewer treatment sessions, and perceived greater supervision restrictions as a result of admitting additional offenses. These findings support previous research indicating that many sexual offenders do not exclusively offend against a preferred victim type. Multiple Paraphilic Diagnoses among Sex Offenders Gene G. Abel, MD; Judith V. Becker, PhD; Jerry Cunningham-Rathner, BA; Mary Mittelman, DrPH; and Joanne-L. Rouleau, PhD The psychiatric literature suggests that paraphiliacs can be expected to partic- ipate in only one type of deviant sexual behavior. Using self-reports gathered with assured confidentiality from 561 nonincarcerated paraphiliacs, we discovered that most paraphiliacs have had significant experience with as many as ten different types of deviant sexual behavior without regard, in many cases, to gender, age, and familial relationship of the victim.

Under the current framework, RC content is essentially banned, and its sale and distribution is prohibited by Commonwealth, state and territory enforcement legislation. The ALRC recommends that, under the Classification of Media Content Act, the RC category should be named ‘Prohibited’ to better reflect the nature of the category. 11.2 The RC category has been criticised for being overly broad in various ways, including by covering content that depicts or describes particular sexual fetishes, which are legal between consenting adults, or instructs in matters of crime or violence. 11.3 The ALRC recommends that the Classification of Media Content Act should frame the ‘Prohibited’ category more narrowly than the current ‘Refused Classification’ category.

ON THE LIMITS OF CULTURE: WHY BIOLOGY IS IMPORTANT IN THE STUDY OF VICTORIAN SEXUALITY by ROBERT BURNS Under the Direction of Paul Schmidt ABSTRACT Much recent scholarship in Victorian studies has viewed sexuality as historically contingent and constructed primarily within the realm of discourse or social organization. In contrast, the following study details species-typical and universal aspects of human sexuality that must be adequately theorized if an accurate model of the ideological forces impacting Victorian sexuality is to be fashioned. After a short survey of previous scholarly projects that examine literature through the lens of biology—much of it marred by an obvious antipathy toward all attempts to discover the involvement of ideology in human behavior—this study presents a lengthy primer to the modern study of evolutionary psychology, behavioral genetics, and human sexuality.

  • Fourteenth Congress of the Republic of the Philippines
    FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE 1 REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) 7 Jj!, -ii ? 3 :lrj 1 First Regular Session SENATE ?~~~~,~,~~~~~~i3v J S.B. 1085 Introduced by Senator Loren Legarda EXPLANATORY NOTE This bill seeks to penalize the act of performing, exhibiting or demonstrating in public any act of obscenity as defined herein to prevent the corruption of our citizenry and uphold human dignity and national morality. Obscene shows and pornographic entertainmeni are in an alarming resurgence. Film? that feature "penetration" scene and seductive nightclub acts burgeon in the streets and with the advent of piracy, reproducing them in volumes offers no challenge. These scandalous exhibitions sensationalize the decline of national morality and the corruption of the citizens, particularly of the youth. The government campaign against pornography has been sporadic in the past, often being dependent primarily upon those exercising censorship and their judgment of what they think or feel is moral or not. This is even aggravated by the lack of a comprehensive anti-obscenity and pornography law. This propoked messme addresses the need for a law that would specifically outlaw obscene acts. Likewise, this bill prohibits the public demonstration of the sexual act, the sale and display of materials containing pornographic presentations and provides penalties for violations. Finally, this proposed measure imposes stiffer penalties for would-be violators to achieve the purpose why such acts were outlawed in the first place. In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is therefore, earnestly sought. Senator FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) First Regular Session SENATE Introduced by Sen.
