PSYCH 3AC3 Lecture Notes - Paraphilia, Casual Sex, Libido
Document Summary
Gay males > straight men>straight women> gay females. The only thing that has been altered in gay men is the sex of their they prefer not the preferences. Persistent sexual behaviour patterns in which unusual objects, rituals, or situations are required for full sexual satisfaction (this disorder is almost always men) Example: you enjoy having sex with a shoe around but can have sex without it, this is paraphilia, if you must have the shoe around this is paraphilic disorder. Egodistonic paraphilia: you have the obsession but you don"t want it. You have to be upset that this obsession is the only way you can get off. If there are victims you would describe it as a disorder. Having a fantasy does not mean you are going to engage in the behaviour. Straight men do sometime shave fantasies about having sex with boys. Behaviours, voyeur= sexual pleasure from watching naked people froteur= grabby on the bus.
