Sexual perversion is an old-fashioned diagnostic term.
Previously normal sexual activity is defined as the genital penetration – coitus with a person of the opposite sex to achieve orgasm. Any other activity other than coitus is considered outside the norms of sexual desire and function.
Sexual perversion is understood to be a deviation from intuition. That is a predetermined behavior that is invariable as regards both its performance and its object.
Often Global society establishes what is perverse and what is not perverse. In modern days sexual taste varies a lot.
Lesbianism and homosexuality are on the rise. Easy availability of porn from internet and internet prostitution – easy sex services like call women, escorts make it worse. Many need changes in sexual activities in the form of oral sex (Penis and vaginal sucking), Anal Sex and 6 by 9 sex position. Fashionable prostitution is increasing from the internet even in developing countries like India.
Sexual perversion is emerging as a Global Iceberg disease phenomenon as PORN CDs and Internet Sex Videos and Photos are easily available. Sexual fantasies in masturbation are also a new entity in this area.
The iceberg phenomenon is a situation in which a large percentage of a problem is subclinical, unreported, or otherwise hidden from view. This is also applicable to sexual perversions. Thus, only the “tip of the iceberg” is apparently seen. This is what happening in our global society in context of sexual perversions. Problematic sexual behavior through smartphone’s internet usage in the form of PORN WATCHING is increasingly found to have problematic sexual behaviors and it is rapidly evolving due to the easy and increasing accessibility of online sexual content and the immediate connectivity.
The sexual slurs and cheap jokes doing rounds inside our home, male chauvinism, considering eve teasing as sort of sport, inappropriate touching in the public transport etc are appearing as new forms of acts of perverts.
The most common sexual paraphilias appearing in society are
- Pedophilia - sexual focus on prepubescent children
- Sexual masochism - receiving of humiliation or suffering
- Sexual sadism
- Exhibitionism - exposure of the genitals
- Fetishism - use of non-living objects
- Frotteurism - touching and rubbing against a non-consenting person
- Transvestic fetishism
- Bestiality
- Rape
- Nymphomania
- Necrophilia
- Incest
- Voyeurism
According to some sexologists and psychologists voyeurism is not considered as unusual sexual activity. Sigmund Freud linked this to a fundamentally healthy scopophilic drive.
Undoubtedly, the rise in pornography viewing is appearing directly proportional to the rise in the number of rape cases, sexual violence and the social degeneration.
