In my treatment of hundreds of primarily male patients with sexual pathology (paraphilias) I have consistently found that most men are vulnerable to the effects of masturbatory conditioning to pornography with a consequence of sexual ill health, because we are all subject to the laws of learning with few or no exceptions.
In my experience as a sexual therapist, any individual is at risk of becoming, in time, a sexual addict, as well as conditioning himself into having a sexual deviancy and/or disturbing a bonded relationship with a spouse or girlfriend when this occurs.
Moral objections aside, one exception would appear to be in the area of repeatedly masturbating to deviant pornographic imagery, either in memories in the mind or as explicit pornographic stimuli which risks (via conditioning) the acquiring of sexual addictions and/or other sexual pathology.

 HARMING THE LITTLE ONES: THE EFFECTS OF PEDOPHILIA ON CHILDREN - David Icke Medical Archives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This all-encompassing goal of unrestrained sexuality cannot succeed as long as such practices are marginalized, confined to sleazy bookstores in the seedier areas of cities, and subject to societal opprobrium.
This view is evident in Alfred C. Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, published in 1948, which created a doctrine of “child sexuality” from data derived from the systematic molestation of hundreds of boys.
All of this argues for traumatic processes inherent in the sexual abuse itself that are independent from a generalized family dysfunction or generalized maltreating environment.

Taken together, this work has revealed some of the ways in which specific sexual identities are socially and discursively instantiated--on the body and in the mind--as alternately privileged or marginalized forms of personhood(1) in the contemporary Western world.
More precisely, queer theory has tended to oppose individual agency to sexual taxonomy, typically on the grounds that taxonomy is normativizing and inevitably generative of an excluded other.
Although Foucault's History of Sexuality (1978) is often cited as the originary work in queer theory, earlier works by Hocquenghem (1993[1972]), Altman (1972, 1982), and Weeks (1977) are also considered significant.

 Research Design and Methods
Furthermore, this study addressed `sexual deviation', a heterogeneous and culturally defined phenomenon of which fetishism is only one particular type, and the diagnostic criteria were not rigourously specified.
A study is needed that assesses the therapeutic efficacy of a single SSRI in a population composed exclusively of fetishists, with evaluation not only of the frequency and intensity of fetishistic sexual outlets, but also of the fetishistic outlets as a fraction of the total sexual outlet.
For this reason it is especially important to use a measure such as the SOI which expresses paraphilic sexual outlet as a fraction of the total sexual outlet.

Simply put, a fetish is defined as a material object or a non-sexual part of the body that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification.
For instance, any deviation from the ‘missionary’ position may be abnormal in conservative societies, but par for the course in more liberal cultures.
Experts agree that fetishism is a paraphilia – a condition where a person’s sexual arousal and gratification depends on fantasising about and engaging in sexual behaviour that’s atypical and extreme.
