The Paraphilia Episode

SEX! Now that we have your attention, this episode reviews some of the paraphilias that exist. More importantly, we try to understand with a compassionate and critical lens. Some paraphilias are simply different than what might be considered "normal" sexual behavior, but in which no one is hurt, or exploited, and everything is consensual. However, there are paraphilias that include lack of consent, expoitation, or harm. There is no black and white way to classify this, so we need nuance and critical thinking.

like the old stereotype of the child molester in that he is more likely to hang
around playgrounds and other areas where children congregate, watching or
engaging them in brief sexual encounters. He may expose himself to children or
make obscene telephone calls to children. He may utilize the services of a child
prostitute, travel to a foreign country, or use the Internet to communicate with
children. Unable to figure out any other way to gain access to a child, he might
even marry a woman and have his own children, very likely molesting them
from the time they are infants. He is similar to the inadequate situational-type
child molester, except that he has more definite deviant sexual preferences, and
his selection of children as victims is more predictable. His victims could be
acquaintances, but he is far less likely to be simultaneously involved with
multiple child victims.
Sadistic This pattern of behavior characterizes the offender whose sexual preferences predominately include the need to inflict psychological or physical pain or
suffering on his victims in order to be aroused or gratified. He is aroused by his
victim's response to the infliction of pain or suffering. He typically uses lures or
force to gain access to his victims. He is more likely than other preferential-type
child molesters to abduct and even murder his victims. In order to escape detection, a sexual sadist, even one with extraordinary interpersonal skills, may try to
abduct victims who are not acquaintances and to whom he cannot be linked.
There have been some cases where seduction acquaintance molesters have
become sadistic molesters. It is not known whether the sadistic needs developed
late or were always there and surfaced for some reason (i.e., inhibitions overcome,
sadistic interests fueled and validated on the Internet). Once a sadistic offender
engages in severe sexual sadism with an acquaintance child victim, it is difficult
to prevent disclosure and

escape identification without killing or otherwise disposing of the victim. In any case it is fortunate that sadistic child molesters do not
appear to be large in number.
Diverse This pattern was called the "sexually indiscriminate" in my old typology
and was under the situational-child-molester category. Although the general
pattern was always preferential, the molestation of the child was situational and
described as such in the old typology. Because so many of these varied sexualbehavior patterns are preferential, however, they are more clearly described as
such in this new typology.
Although the previously described morally indiscriminate offender can also
be a sexual experimenter, this diverse offender differs in that he often appears to
be discriminating in his behavior eiccept when it comes to sex. He is the "trysexual" —willing to try anything sexual that he prefers. While he may have dearly
defined paraphilic or sexual preferences such as bondage, peeping, fetishism—he
has no strong sexual preference for children. The sadistic offender could be
included in this category, but his criminal sexual behavior is so significant that it
merits its own category. The basic motivation of this diverse offender in victimizing children is often sexual experimentation. His main criteria for including
children may be that they are new or less threatening. He usually involves children in his previously existing sexual interests and activity. Such offenders may
victimize children as part of some humiliating, taboo, or forbidden sex. It is
important to realize that these children may be his own or ones he has gained
