Topic: Sexual perversion


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  The cultural politics of perversion: Augustine, Shakespeare; Freud, Foucault   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Perversion is the product and the vehicle of power, a construction which enables power to gain purchase within the realm of the psychosexual: authority legitimizes itself by fastening upon discursively constructed, sexually perverse, identities of its own making.
Perversion is a concept signifying: (1) an erring, straying, or deviating from (2) a path, destiny or objective which is (3) understood as natural or right ‑ right because natural (with the natural possibly having a yet 'higher' legitimation in divine law).
The charge of perversity was at once a demonizing and a disavowal of an aberrant movement that was seen to threaten the very basis of civilization; that is why time and again metaphysical fixity ‑ fixed origin, nature, identity, development, and destiny ‑ is invoked in the condemnation of that movement.

 MacCormack: print version
Perversion is the minority of normal sexuality because it exploits minority ways of thinking desire, not because it is necessarily different (and it may not be) to common sexual practice.
Perversion is an ethical tactic towards transformation as much as it is a subversive one, because it refutes the desirability of being accepted within dominant discourse, without refuting its own history or forgetting the accountability of the dominant.
Sexuality, corporeal de- and mal-formations, skin colour, female and hermaphroditic genitals and even tattoos and piercings are all material conditions of the human body that are far more than metaphor both in their inability to be cast off and also their definition within culture.

 Sexual Perversion
The fact that sexual desire is a feeling about other persons may encourage a pious view of its psychological content — that it is properly the expression of some other attitude, like love, and that when it occurs by itself it is incomplete or subhuman.
Sexual desire involves a kind of perception, but not merely a single perception of its object, for in the paradigm case of mutual desire there is a complex system of superimposed mutual perceptions — not only perceptions of the sexual object, but perceptions of oneself.
The concept of perversion can hardly fail to be evaluative in some sense, for it appears to involve the notion of an ideal or at least adequate sexuality which the perversions in some way fail to achieve.

Paraphilia is a mental health term recently used to indicate arousal in response to sexual objects or situations that are not part of societally normative arousal/activity patterns, and that may interfere with the capacity for reciprocal affectionate sexual activity.

 sexual perversion and animĂ©'s lolita complex
I personally define perversion as committing, or seriously considering committing, an act for your own gratification which would cause any sort of harm, pain, discomfort, emotional distress etc. to one or more of the people involved, and which is carried out without their full adult consent.
Sex and sexual thoughts by themselves are not some separate entity, a "beast within" that must be "tamed" and suppressed, its existence denied as anything other than a feral, primal emotion which no longer has a place in any "civilized" society.
Everyone has their fantasies, whether it's stomping all over someone in 6-inch stilettos or being raped by tentacled demons, and finding little girls (or boys) cute, especially as they're portrayed in animé, is hardly that weird on the scale of things.

 Sex Perv NOTES
For another version of the view that sexual perversion is essentially sexual behavior markedly deviating from the prevailing sexual taste, see Joseph Margolis, "Perversion," Negativities: The Limits of Life (Columbus: Charles E. Merrill, 1975).

This understanding of paraphilias was at odds with the definition of mental disorders in the same manual which expressly ruled out mere deviance from social norms as ground for diagnosing mental disorder, and required the suffering or increased risk of suffering some harm by the agent for such a diagnosis (ibid., p.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Paraphilias refer to intense, repetitive sexual urges, fantasies or behaviors where the sexual goal is an unusual situation, activity or object.
Paraphilias do not refer to the normal use of sexual fantasy, activity or objects to heighten sexual excitement where there is no distress or impairments.
