I research sexual perversions and paraphilias – here's what we've learned about them.

After allegedly sending messages that described cannibalistic fetishes, Hollywood actor Armie Hammer is hoping to get his profession back heading in the right direction. A new podcast And the movie.

After 2021 social media The Cannibal Scandalthe hammer was also accused Rape and abuse by various women, but Constant denial Any criminal behavior and Was not charged.

Now, it seems, the hammer is laughing Cannibalism allegations Speaking to his first podcast guest, Tom Arnold, Hammer says, “I'm not going to lie. I'm just like, hey, I'm a cannibal!”

But being sexually woke up by the fantasy – or reality – of genocide is real. I should know, since it's considered one of the topics I discuss in my latest book. Sexual disorders and paraphilias: an AZ

Paraphilias are abnormal varieties of sexual expression which can be often described. As sexual deviancesexual perversion or sexual preference disorder.

They are often accompanied by intense sexual arousal to unconventional or non-sexual stimuli resembling enemas (Klezmophilia), figurines (Aglematophilia), teeth (Odontophilia) and vomit (Ematophilia).

For many individuals, paraphilia could seem strange or socially unacceptable, representing the acute end of the sexual continuum – and in some cases, resembling zoophilia (sex with animals) and necrophilia (sex with dead people). intercourse with), May be illegal.

Paraphilias will be laughed at, dismissed, or left unsatisfied to some people, but that's the way it is. An important requirement For more research on abnormal sexual behavior How little we are know

Sexual perceptions and attitudes are a fundamental a part of the human experience. which is taken into account immoral or illegal. Changes according to Social and temporal context. But whatever sexual desires are considered illegitimate or deviant in a specific time and place. are also infamous.

Researching paraphilias, even probably the most offensive or criminal ones, is important to assist protect vulnerable groups. Research can even help reduce discrimination faced by individuals with atypical sexuality, help ensure their access to sexual health care and psychological support, which may be lacking..

Vorarephilia

Vorarephilia – or “vore” – sexually aroused by the considered eating, watching one other person eat or observe the act for sexual gratification.

Most of the fantasies of vorarephiliacs involve being eaten. Eating someone will be seen as the last word act of dominance by the predator and the last word act of submission by the prey.

The most notorious is the vorarephiliac argument Armin Mewes from Germany.

Meiwes had reportedly fantasized about cannibalism since childhood and incessantly visited cannibal fetish web sites. He posted about 60 online ads asking if anyone would really like to eat him.

In March 2002, Bernd Jürgen Brandes responded to Meiwes. They met just once. Mewes cuts off Brandt's penis, which they each cook and eat.

Brandis was videotaped being stabbed to death by Mewes in his bath. The carcass was then stored for the fruits to be eaten.

Meiwes was eventually convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, it's price noting that although some paraphilias are illegal, most don't cause any psychological or behavioral problems when engaged in by consenting adults.

Dacryphilia

Dacryphilia is getting sexual excitement from seeing someone cry.

I have published a Number of studies On dacryphilia An included interviews With eight decree files: six women and two men, from the US, UK, Romania and Belgium.

This suggests that even in such a small group there have been subtypes of dacryphilia. Based on the interviews, I identified three varieties of decree files.

Sympathetic decreephiles are sexually aroused by the compassion of comforting a caller.

Dominant or submissive decrefiles are sexually stimulated either by inducing tears in a willing submissive partner or by being forced to cry by a willing dominant partner.

“Curled Lip” Decreophiles are sexually aroused by the curling of the lower lip during crying.

Eproctophilia

Eproctophilia involves being sexually aroused by flatulence.

In 2013, I published The first case study of an eproctophile. The case concerns a 22-year-old single man, Brad*, an American from Illinois.

Brad recalled that in middle school he had a crush on a woman who farted at school. Brad said:

It blew my mind. [I] I knew from easy biology that girls were promiscuous, but hearing that the girl I used to be taking a look at had this ability sparked a wierd interest in me.

Brad first engaged in an ejaculatory act with a male friend in his teens. Until then he had considered himself gay. However, that modified when she heard her male friend fart.

Brad said it was “sound appealing” and he set about fixing it. He made a bet that the loser had the precise to fart in his face for per week. He lost such bets once every few weeks for about two years.

Apotemnophilia

Apotemnophilia refers back to the fantasy or reality of being sexually amputated.

Some apotemnophiles may pretend to be amputees but, for a minority, the behavior involves an obsessive scheming to persuade a surgeon to perform a surgery. Medically unnecessary deductions.

To most individuals, this may occasionally sound like a kind masochismbut Case studies suggest. That there isn't a pain relief – just healing of the amputated stump.

Celerophilia

Cellophilia is sexually motivated by soiling or scratching a sexy person, including tearing or damaging the specified person's clothing, covering them in mud or dirt, or messing up their hair or makeup.

My 2019 A case study Jeff*, a 58-year-old gay Australian, is involved. Jeff said that when he was young, he desired to masturbate in strange places, like lying under a cupboard in a unclean garage.

Jeff stated that he repeatedly engaged in solo serophilic exercises but rarely with female partners since it was difficult to seek out like-minded women.

He was also a fan of the tv show. The fear factor In which contestants perform revolting tasks for prize money, resembling eating rotten food or being submerged in foul fluids. They were a source of sexual stimulation for Jeff. He told me: “I just find the dirt on an attractive woman's body sexy.”
