Document Summary
Normal vs. deviant sexual behaviour: statistical norm: Rare or unusual sexual behaviour abnormal and deviant. Appears value free as its based on frequency of behaviour, not social responsibility: also consider if it deviates from a social norm, what may be considered the norm in one culture may not be in another, terminology. Deviant and abnormal are confusing, prefer to speak about unusual patterns of sexual arousal or behaviour as atypical variations in sexual behaviour. The paraphilias: atypical patterns of sexual arousal or behaviour that become problematic in the eyes of the individual or society. Resort to behaviour only in times of stress. Preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies, unable to become aroused without stimuli: debate: Therapists shouldn"t always work towards eliminating particular sexual interests but should offer clients the option of learning how to express behaviour in a healthy manner problem is to not stereotype.
