Is this abnormal? v What are paraphilias? v Is there such a thing as sexual addiction? v What is the difference between cross-dressing & transvestitism? v Is there a difference between sadism & masochism & domination & submission? v What is Nymphomania and Satyriasis? v What is the bondage & leather scene all about? v What is voyeurism & exhibitionism? v What is Telephone Scatalogia? v What are the dynamics of pedophilia? Important Gender Terms v Sex - difference between men and women based on biological characteristics such as genitalia. v Gender - the psychological experience of being either a female or a male. v Gender Identity - one’s view of oneself as either a woman or a man. v Gender Role - the extent to which one’s behavior is representative of a cultural definition of masculinity or femininity. v Sexual Orientation - the preference for sexual partners of the same or the other sex. Paraphilias v Paraphilia - A diagnostic category used by the American Psychiatric Association to describe atypical patterns of sexual arousal or behavior that become problematic in the eyes of the individual or society, such as fetishism or exhibitionism. v The urges are recurrent and are either acted on or are distressing to the individual. (From Greek roots meaning “to the side of” [para] “loving” [philos]) !Watch Those Labels Please! v The late U. S. Senator, Claude Pepper of Florida, was a dynamic tireless advocate for the elderly and was generously supported by the political lobbying arm of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). v During an election campaign in the early 1990s, he was accused of being a “shameless extrovert” whose sister was a New York “thespian.” It was said he himself even “practiced celibacy” prior to marriage and was also involved in “nepotism” with his sister-in-law (Catchpole, 1992). Was Senator Pepper in fact a closeted pervert? v One would think so unless one knew something about the English language. An extrovert is someone who has an outgoing personality; celibacy refers to sexual abstinence; a thespian is an actor or actress; and nepotism refers to giving family members favorable treatment. Clearly Pepper’s opponent was hoping to paint the Senator as a man involved in atypical or even illegal paraphilic behaviors. One must always be cautious about labeling people and, better yet, know something about the English language. Atypical or Typical? It’s My Party v The term atypical sexual behavior, as a concept, refers to sexual behavior that falls on a continuum that tends to be defined by a society's values, morals, and laws. v In other words, it is sexual behavior that many would agree falls on the "uncommon" side of the sexual behavior continuum. This does not mean it is abnormal, just different, and perhaps uncommon, in some or even many eyes. Atypical or Typical? It’s My Party v On the other hand, paraphilias, a term coined by German psychoanalyst Wilhelm Stekel in 1923, are pathological erotic preferences. v Experts divide them into two categories. First are pathological erotic target preferences, which are thoughts and activities (fantasies and masturbation) other than with a physically mature and consenting adult. v And, second, pathological erotic activity preferences, which are activities that are atypical for most individuals who erotically prefer a physically mature and consenting adult (fetishes and sadism and masochism) (Freund et al., 1997). Atypical or Typical? It’s My Party v So too, the American Psychiatric Association considers paraphilias as mental disorders and specifically defines them as: Ø 1. recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies lasting at least six months, and Ø 2. either involving nonhuman objects, or Ø 3. involving actual suffering or humiliation of oneself or one’s partner, or Ø 4. involving children or other non-consenting persons, and Ø 5. the person acting upon these urges is markedly distressed by them" (DSM-V). v The key difference between atypical and paraphilic behavior is whether the behavior intensifies one’s sexual arousal or is absolutely needed for sexual arousal and satisfaction. v Paraphilias, a term derived from the Greek root word for “to the side of love,” should also be viewed from another important angle; that is, whether or not the behavior is coercive or noncoercive. In other words, are unwilling victims involved? v Some therapists consider paraphilic behavior as compulsive or addictive as well, because of the constant need for such behavior in achieving sexual satisfaction (Money, 1988). v Also, location, time, and culture must be factored into any discussion of atypical and paraphilic behaviors, as does one’s personal belief system about what constitutes normal and abnormal. v For example, prior to 1973, a lesbian and gay sexual orientation was considered abnormal and deviant. v But over 15 years of research spearheaded by Dr. Evelyn Hooker and others clearly demonstrated
