People who expose themselves are often times not interested in physical sexual contact with their victims. The individual will expose their genitals to individuals by surprise for arousal. The individual will intentionally surprise, shock or try to sexually arouse the person that they are flashing. In some cases, children could be flashed and that could lead to the child being seriously traumatized especially if the parents have not yet had the “sex talk” with their children. Almost all cases of exhibitionism involve men and he may masturbate while he exposes himself.…
Miss Representation outlines how damaging to girls and women media and culture is, given that it is controlled and designed almost exclusively by men. Damaging images concerning women’s bodies and roles strip girls and women of their autonomy and makes them vulnerable to self-objectification, body dysmorphia and self-image issues, and rape culture – from more covert transgressions like being subjected to unwanted (non-sexual) touch and sexist attitudes, to explicit violence such as sexual assault and coercion. The title of the documentary lends itself to a few different interpretations, however perhaps the two most significant are: the idea that women’s representation in the media can be boiled down to one prototype or character (i.e. Miss…
Venus is Furs highlights that the concept of love is an intrinsic part of masochism that is lacking in Psychopathia Sexualis. Krafft-Ebing presents masochism as being centered around the masochist himself, not in terms of wanting to raise the status of the woman the masochist loves. This is highlighted on many occasions. One patient would have to tell the stories of his fantasies to pretty girls in order to ejaculate, while another patient would visit brothels to be beaten. In both these cases, as well as others, it is clear that the fantasy is about the pain and humiliation.…
During the seventh session after building rapport with Caleb, he divulged important information and stated he had not told anyone before. Caleb shared his fears of getting to know people because he believes he might harm him/her because he thinks he has special powers.

After the new information, the diagnoses I considered were Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Schizotypal Personality Disorder, and Substance Abuse Disorder. I thought OCD because Caleb meets the presence of obsessions and compulsions.…

Paraphilic disorders are described as “sexual deviation syndromes characterized by aberrant sexual fantasies, urges, and /or behaviors” (Saleh & Berlin, 2003). There is a difference from those who have unusual sexual fantasies and/or desires while engaging in healthy sexual activities with a partner and those who are diagnosed with paraphilic disorder. Those who act upon their fantasies in a way that causes harm to themselves and others are diagnosed with paraphilic disorders. For example, someone who is diagnosed with a paraphilic disorder may participate in “exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, pedophilia, or even voyeurism” to name just a few subtypes of this disorder (Kearney & Trull, 2015, pp. 337-343).…

John uses his binoculars at night when his wife is asleep to peer into the dormitory to observe the female students while they undress and sometimes he goes further by watching…
Sexuality is a concept that has been socially constructed. People live their lives judging others and themselves based on what society has taught them to believe is “normal” and “abnormal” to the extent that they begin to neglect their own thoughts and beliefs. While many sexologists believe that sexuality is purely based on reproduction and heterosexuality, Freud encourages the idea that a person’s sexual instincts revolve more around their feelings for contentment and gratification. Kelly James reinforces Freudianism by sharing similar beliefs and ideas in her text, “Sexual Pleasure,” saying that pleasure is the main focus in a person’s sexual desires and that various cultures and the society have a huge influence on a person’s view on sexuality.…
