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.

Kinky Sexual Subcultures and Virtual Leisure Spaces Liam Wignall A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2018 i | P a g e Abstract This study seeks to understand what kink is, exploring this question using narratives and experiences of gay and bisexual men who engage in kink in the UK. In doing so, contemporary understandings of the gay kinky subcultures in the UK are provided. It discusses the role of the internet for these subcultures, highlighting the use of socio-sexual networking sites. It also recognises the existence of kink dabblers who engage in kink activities, but do not immerse themselves in kink communities. A qualitative analysis is used consisting of semi-structured in-depth interviews with 15 individuals who identify as part of a kink subculture and 15 individuals who do not. Participants were recruited through a mixture of kinky and non-kinky socio-sexual networking sites across the UK. Complimenting this, the author attended kink events throughout the UK and conducted participant observations. The study draws on subcultural theory, the leisure perspective and social constructionism to conceptualise how kink is practiced and understood by the participants. It is one of the first to address the gap in the knowledge of individuals who practice kink activities but who do so as a form of casual leisure, akin to other hobbies, as well as giving due attention to the increasing presence and importance of socio-sexual networking sites and the Internet more broadly for kink subcultures.

  • University of Montevallo TRIO Mcnair Scholars Program 2018 Research
    University of Montevallo TRIO McNair Scholars Program 2018 Research Journal Welcome! Undergraduate research is the pinnacle in undergraduate education as it truly is a comprehensive learning experience. One of the reasons I am so passionate about undergraduate research is that I have seen in some of my students over the years a transformation which is undeniable when they do an undergraduate research project. It requires the student to draw knowledge obtained from many different courses and venture into the unknown, where standardized laboratory experiments are a thing of the past. When research students discover something that has never before been known, it is most exhilarating. Seeing students transformed as a result of the undergraduate research experience is very rewarding. It is this I cherish as a teacher and researcher. The University of Montevallo Undergraduate Research Program coupled with the Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program provide undergraduates from all fields of study the opportunity to conduct research under the guidance of an experienced faculty member. The relationship that is created and nurtured as these projects are carried out is remarkable. The guidance students receive in a research setting is undeniably one of the greatest benefits. In addition to learning research methods and improving critical thinking skills, completing an undergraduate research project affords the student an opportunity to present their research to their community of scholars at professional meetings and conferences. Learning to communicate the results they have obtained with the world around them is a feat in and of itself. This certainly assists students as they prepare for graduate school and their future career.

  • 1 the Erotic Ronald De Sousa and Arina Pismenny [Penultimate
    The Erotic Ronald de Sousa and Arina Pismenny [Penultimate version of chapter (in English) in J. Deonna and E. Tieffenbach (ed.) A Small Treatise on Values (Petit Traité des Valeurs). Paris: Editions d’Ithaque. Consult published version to quote.] Nowadays, the erotic is everywhere: the term is applied to works of art, advertising, clothing, gestures, and many other things. It is not, however, always used appropriately. The erotic, for example, is sometimes confused with what triggers sexual arousal. Causing sexual arousal is not sufficient, however, because direct stimulation, by genital friction or brain probe, would not plausibly be called erotic. Neither is it necessary: for just as one may understand why something is funny without being moved to laughter, so one might perceive that something is erotic without experiencing any arousal. What, then, is the erotic, and in what sense can one say that it is a value? The erotic, value, and teleology Is the erotic a value? Or does it have value? If something is a value, its presence can confer some degree of importance on other things. If it has a value, then its benefits derive ultimately from some characteristic which itself has intrinsic value. What nobody cares or could care about is necessarily devoid of it; thus, in order to understand the erotic as a value, we must understand to what states of mind and to what mechanism it is linked, as well as how we care about it and for what reason. Although the erotic cannot be identified with either arousal or desire, the three are evidently linked.

In this one, my father, then twenty-eight years old, is sitting in a Plymouth roadster convertible, beige with a red pinstripe along the side. It has red leather upholstery, including the rumble seat. My father was, according to my mother, a rakish bachelor who lived with a gang of fellows in a house in St. Catha- rines, nicknamed “the homestead.” His friends called him “Hurry- Up Hayes” because he walked purposefully, with short, quick steps, as though there were important things ahead.

She had her pick of eligible men, and chose my father. Later, when he infuriated or disappointed me, I would remind myself of this past life of his, the easy grace with which he carried himself, defining for me the idea of unforced masculinity. I believe to this day that he was more self-possessed, more relaxed with who he was than I was at his age, or, for that matter, later. Here he’s sitting, obviously posed but looking most at ease, every inch the successful executive: the double-breasted chalk-stripe suit, the dark tie with bold diagonals, the half-Windsor knot. It’s the mid-s and he is now in senior management at Abitibi’s head office on University Avenue in Toronto. Look at his steady gaze into the camera, as if to say, I am a man both comfortable and successful in this masculine world.

It explores how doctors conceptualised sexual crimes and those who committed them, and how these ideas were implemented in medical and legal settings. It uses medical and criminological texts alongside information about specific court proceedings and offenders' lives to set out two overarching arguments. Firstly, it contends that sexual crime, and the sexual offender, are useful categories for analysis. Examining the medical theories that were put forward about the 'sexual offender', broadly defined, and the ways in which such theories were used, reveals important features of medico-legal thought and practice in relation to sexuality, crime, and 'normal' or healthy behaviour.

  • 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.
