Document Summary
A fetish refers to the object of these sexual urges, such as women"s shoes or feet. gender dysphoria:(cid:871) -- . Paraphilias ( ) -- general characteristics-- recurrent sexual attraction to unusual objects or sexual activities. In men, this flow of blood into tissues produces an erection of the penis. In men, ejaculation feels inevitable and indeed almost always occurs (in rare instances, men have an orgasm without ejaculating, and vice versa). In women, the outer walls of the vagina contract. In both sexes, there is general muscle tension. resolution phase-- this last phase refers to the relaxation and sense of well-being that usually follow an orgasm. In men there is an associated refractory period during which further erection is not possible. The duration of the refractory period varies across men and even in the same man across occasions. Because many people do not want to talk about their paraphilias, researchers have few opportunities to understand their causes.
