Document Summary
Potential causes: deviant sexual preferences, cognitive distortions, intimacy deviants. Men who engage in sexually deviant behaviour do so because they prefer them to social acceptable behaviour. Recurrent intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviours. Generaelly around children, or non consenting persons, the suffering or humiliation of oneself or others or non human object. Deviatn stimulit: circumstantial (time/place where masturbation/intercourse takes place), Pairing of sexually arousing physiological state and deviant stimuli. Deliberat (sexual fantasy involving force, fetishes), neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus. Role of precipitating incident: an inappropriate early sexual experience. Strong salience, supplies initial fantasy for later reinforcement. Masturbaton to deviant fantasy (derived from a real sexual experience) Arousal to non deviant stimuli (e. g fantasy of having consensual se with an appropriate other) becomes extinguished due to lack of masturbatory reinforcement. Deviant interest is not extinguished by guilt (distal influence) A person who has acquired a deviant sexual interest is likely to acquire other deviant interests.
