Except for serious crimes like pedophilia and rape there are no universal laws against sexually deviant behaviors because of the blurred boundaries between typical and atypical sexual behaviors. For example homosexuality is socially accepted as a sexual preference among consenting adults in many developed countries while in countries like India gay sex is bracketed along with bestiality and pedophilia as an “unnatural act” and can draw a punishment of up to ten years in prison. More recently there seems to be better tolerance for such behavior and it is possible that it maybe legalized. Exhibitionism, voyeurism and frotteurism are usually treated as “nuisance” cases and not as serious crimes in many jurisdictions across the globe. Sadomasochistic sexual practices can attract punishment if a participant reports being bodily harmed or coerced into participating in the act by another. If BDSM practices are reported by an unwilling partner, the practice can attract penalty under sections of criminal code that include sexual assault, sexual abuse, insult, battery, false imprisonment and coercion. Rape is legally a crime but it often becomes difficult to convict a person for the crime because the victim rarely comes forward to reveal the act due to the potential publicity and damage to their reputation that it may cause.. For most part in history there were no strong legal sanctions that criminalized wartime rape. In 1996, for the first time sexual assault was treated as a war crime when the United Nations’ International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia decreed that wartime rape is a crime that can attract severe criminal sanctions. A person who has tested positive for HIV and willfully suppresses the information and engages in unprotected sex with partners who are unaware of the HIV positive status are liable to invite severe legal sanctions in many developed countries. Pedophilia that prompts child sexual abuse is another deviant sexual behavior that is a serious crime in all jurisdictions all over the world. The deviance encourages child trafficking that is a current menace challenging legal systems everywhere. Cyberspace pedophilia is on the increase with predators luring innocent children through popular ‘Networking websites.’ In the absence of foolproof safeguards in the ‘Net space,’ the onus is on parents and responsible adults to protect children from pedophiles. |

Posted on: 03/06/2012 I have problems with both frotteurism and fetishism. The impulses are totally out of my control and despite my concience objections and strong will to refrain it is almost like I am posessed and can only stand by and watch.
The frotterurism is weird to, I have an impulse to grasp a woman's skirt hem between my fingers without her noticing. I do this in bars and crowed malls mostly. The fetishism is the obsession with womens undergarments from the act of shopping for them to wearing them and filtching them out of my friends and neighbors laundry hampers. I really want to get over this stuff. Chronic mastubation is also a problem...definately associated sex addition from an early age. Never been sexually abused.....but started chronic masturbation very early....child hood considered abusive because very strict parenting causing daily fear and stress...neighborhood bullying also probmatic...and started sexual activity with partners late in life, 19.

Posted on: 02/22/2011 I once saw a middle aged Polish immigrant guy grab a young African American woman's butt on the downtown 1 train just north of 59th st - she whipped out her xacto knife from the sleeve of her jacket with ninja-like speed and, in less than a second the perverted guy was crying out in pain and bewilderment as his blood splattered the subway car's floor.
My suggestion is that if you see this use your cellphone and snap a picture, even if you don't get the act, you can follow this guy around until you can get a good shot and then take the time to do a report with Metro Police. Two separate reports with the same photo, has the tendency to make the hunter the hunted.

Posted on: 10/22/2010 Any kind of obsession grows when we try to suppress it [What we resist, persists- C.G.Jung]. I believe the human heart is home to the noblest and the basest thoughts. Most of us will have struggled with 'bad' thoughts at some point in life. The more we struggle, the more attention we give it, and it grows in power. The trick is to develop an attitude of witnessing- like when you watch traffic from the top of a building. It just passes by-don't try to dig up the root cause of each thought. Just be aware of the thought. And preferably you should have a center-focusing on the breath will give you a stable center to hold on. Whenever you feel uncomfortable emotions and thoughts, breathe. Breathe into the emotion or the thought. Don't bother about when it will end. Our job is to maintain awareness of all that goes on in us. In the light of your calm, non-judgmental, awareness, you will heal. :) Cheers.

Posted on: 03/12/2010 I am a masochist and a coprophiliac, and the two things for me are very much connected and related. whilst I fantasize about eating feces, for men and women,s pleasure, amusement, and entertainment, I do not eat or swallow it, because of the health risks, although when I am fantasizing about it, I sometimes kiss and lick it, but I wash my mouth and lips thoroughly after-wards, with anti-septic mouthwash and water. I've searched all over the net, and can find next to nothing about the causes and treatment of coprophilia, other than many sites who say it involves misconceptions about nudity and sex being dirty, and that it is caused by morbid depression, and both of these explanations are very much false in my opinion and experience. Most coprophiliacs have no problem, appreciating the pure and natural beauty of the human body, and they are not morbidly depressed, as coprophilia makes them very happy. I like being a coprophiliac, but again I will not actually eat feces, and I would sometimes like to moderate these urges, which can sometimes get very intense. i have my own theory on what causes coprophilia, from my own experiences, but I'd like to know what you can tell me about this more generally or specifically. Also, as I am a British person, sadistic scatological humor is very much a part of our culture (as it is in German society), and so there's not much of a taboo about it here in the UK. please shed more light on all of this, or point me in a better direction, because I can find next to nothing on the net about it all, and I want to know a lot more about it. Thank you Peter

Posted on: 03/20/2010 This person is not hurting anyone or anything. He is only expressing his sexuality, most of this stays in his imagination. Too few people are able to express themselves and they should in privacy or consenting a trustworthy be able to. It is you that should broaden your imagination which may enlighten you, and gain a valiable lesson. Never judge others.

Posted on: 07/14/2010 It's okay to judge people that kiss and lick feces and have fantasies about eating it. Dude really needs some help and maybe you need some too. Tolerance isn't always a good thing.

Posted on: 03/08/2011 I believe it is infact okay to have strange sexual desires. What different is his coprophilia than someone else's masochism or bondage/rape fetish? Atleast he is healthy about it. And maybe he feels looking on the net is his only option, due to being fearful of going to someone like you who will be judgemental about his sexual preference?

Posted on: 08/01/2010 Peter you say " I've searched all over the net, and can find next to nothing about the causes and treatment of coprophilia" if you read some of Freuds theories on human sexuality you will see that at the end of the day all our sexual drives boil dowm to oral or anal fixations because thats what we do as babies...put things in our mouths and poo! you mentioned looking on the net for treatment... any freudian based psychoanalyst would be able to help...

Posted on: 07/25/2009 Thank you DR.Shroff for inviting me to post my findings on this matter. Trinidad like many other Caribbean countries has its fair share of sexual deviant behavior. Our society is affected by persons who endulge in a myraid of a-typical sexual behavior. In my research I have found that scatologia, public masturbation, public sex, beastility and paedophilia are the most common paraphilias. I have only found one publically know case of autoerotic asphixia. These deviances are never understood and are very taboo in this country where even homosexuality is spoken in hushed tones. Therapy is hard to access. Sex offenders never bebefit from any therapy, we have had a spate of child rape-murder cases in the past 5 years. The most recent was a 9yr girl, she was raped/buggered/ strangled and battered to death, her accuser committed suicide...We must educate our citizens to identilfy and seek help before they harm themselves or others. But sex therapy is an infant science, more so in Trinidad

Posted on: 10/17/2008 "Almost all sexually deviant people can harm themselves or others physically or psychologically". going by your definition of deviance, which includes gays as well...this is a tall claim to make. and HIV is transmitted by heterosexual sex too by and large. The basic criterion is that one of the partners have to be affected. whatever the type of sexual prefrence.
rape and incest are expressions of criminality and cannot be attriuted to sexual deviance!!
