Document Summary
Even kisses can be claimed as perverse, since they substitute other erogenous zones for the genitals. Anything is perverse if it is accompanied by emission or orgasm without the genitals being involved, so kisses can be perverse. Perversion is characterized by the exclusiveness of the substitution for the genitals; this substitution is the primary form of sexual pleasure and the goal of reproduction is pushed aside. When the perverse activities prepare for or heighten the normal sex act, they can no longer be classified as perversions. Perverse sexuality is directed toward one isolated goal. The instincts which preside over perverse sexuality are different than the instincts that preside over normal sexuality. Infantile sexuality has no centralization or organization; its individual impulses are of equal power. In some perversions, even the process of erection can be transferred to other parts of the body.
