Document Summary
Social and cultural forces can alter sex drive: culture. Sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis: compulsive sexual behavior or hypersexuality, nymphomania. Sexual addiction model: counseling psychologist who developed the clinical conceptualization and treatment of sexual addiction, an addiction like any other addiction. In paraphilias, sexual response is dependent on target: you can engage in atypical sex act, and that does not constitute a paraphilia, paraphilias can be normal or abnormal, not about the person--it is about the hair. Fantasizing about the object not the person: erotic target location errors, object is associated with woman, but not the actual person. Sexual response is dependent on an object that"s not typically sexual. Shoe fetish: partialism, exclusive focus on part of body, other than genitals, breast, etc. Foot fetish: transvestism, getting dressed in opposite sex clothing to get turned out. Sexual arousal and response is dependent on cross dressing.
