Document Summary
Perverse sex act is one that cannot lead to reproduction naturally. Our society is secularized version of historically jehovanist religion. Gnostics think most perverse sex is the best. Five trends stemmed from naturalism and naturalism still supports these. Religious jehovanism was obliged to become less religious and more neo. Sex has no connection to the psychological or mental. Glues mind and body together as one. In saying, this they attack implicity the jehovanist assumption that identity is fundamentally involved in sex. All mental states, which are private, can be analyzed logically by publically observable behaviour or dispositions to behave in such behaviour. We have access to mental states of everyone as long as we can see what they are doing. We are what we are seen as doing. How we differ sexually in our behaviour than other animals. To observe and understand human sexual behaviour entirely in context of animal behaviour in general. What occurs in nature cannot be unnatural.
