The Underlying Causes Of Sexual Behavior

In this time period, there are many different disorders and illnesses that go unnoticed, and unknown. Society creates stereotypes about illnesses such as obsessive compulsive disorder, clinical Depression, and many other mental afflictions. Another that seems to remain controversial and misunderstood is sexual compulsive behaviors. Many see it as an excuse to act a certain way, or think a certain way; in reality it is a serious mental disorder that can cause devastating effects on the people that are consumed by them and the people who are around them. Something that is however, known about sexual compulsive behaviors is that there are certain things that can emotionally damage a person and cause them to have these behaviors. The three

Focusing on just natural clarifications of human conduct, the Biological Theory trusts that physiological variables tremendously affect sexual conduct. Scholars regularly take a gander at anomalous hormonal and androgenic levels in the body and cerebrum to depict freak sexual practices as in rising hormones are identified with physical changes that advance sexual excitement, climax, discharge, and other sexual movement. "In spite of the fact that a survey of natural studies indicates clashing results about the relationship between

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

Participants will answer the Clarke Sex History Questionnaire for Males-Revised to measure if the treatment worked. Questionnaire consists of 508-item self-report used to check a wide array of usual and abnormal sexual behaviors in an adult male population. Questionnaire can be located by Langevin, Ron; Paitch, Dan. 1999-2002. Yearbook: 16.

3. These occur in response to stressful life events. 4. Unsuccessful attempt to control or reduce the sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors. 5. Engage in sexual behaviors without regard of risk for physical or emotional harm to self or others. 6. Clinically significant personal distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning due to sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors. 7. These are not due to any physiological effects of drugs or medication. 8. The diagnosis should be accompanied by the specific type of sexual activity: masturbation, pornography, sexual behavior with consenting adults, cybersex, telephone sex, strip clubs, other.” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

"Hypersexual Disorder" failed to be included in the appendix of the DSM-V (APA, 2012). This was mainly due to the risks associated with pathologising normal behaviours, and the potential forensic implications associated with such a diagnosis (Kafka, 2010). However, both the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine recognise that a disorder exists in which sexual behaviour is addictive (World Health Organisation, 2007; American Society of Addiction Medicine, 2011)

Voyeuristic disorder is fulfillment of erotic stimulation, for over a period of six months, by watching individuals who are nude, undressing, or participating in sexual activity. Voyeuristic disorder includes going forth with voyeuristic urges or illusions without permission of the individual or feeling substantial pain or purposeful damage because of such desires and compulsions (Brown, 2015). The cause of this disorder seems to be subject to the person and not on any one common characteristic factor. Biological theories hold that testosterone, the hormone that influences the sexual drive in both men and women, increases the susceptibility of males to develop deviant sexual behaviors. However, the learning theory has revealed that emotional abuse

Sexual addiction is a complex disorder that has received a lot of attention in the past couple of years, largely due to celebrities who sought treatment for it after their extra-marital affairs were exposed. Many people assume that a sexual addiction involves an out-of-control drive to have sex (i.e. intercourse or oral sex) with a variety of different partners. While this may be true in many cases, there are actually many different types of sex addiction. In other words, this particular addiction can manifest in a variety of ways besides what most would deem “traditional” sexual activity. This is one of the things that sets sexual addiction apart from addictions like alcoholism and

“How we think about sexuality is conditioned and inhibited by a complicated history and, to make our problems worse, that history is in the power of those who have necessarily been antagonistic to women for a very long time. Males generally have been economically and socially superior to women since they became the primary producers and possessors of private property.” (Murphy Robinson, 1984: 251)

regimens and its effectiveness in the reduction of paraphilic behaviors and other problematic sexual behaviors.

Experts today State that the number of researched and reported ‘‘cases’’ of this problem now greatly exceeds past research and reporting of several sexual disorders already definitively classified in the DSM IV such as Fetishism and Fortuitism [2]. And while the name “Hypersexual Disorder” is not an ideal description of a problem that more accurately involves the lengthy search and pursuit of sex, rather than the act itself, today there seems little doubt that hyper sexuality is a legitimate, serious and common clinical condition associated with the related concerns of unplanned pregnancy,

AIS has been found to be helpful in differentiating asexual from sexual individuals. After the assessment, approximately 93% of participants who identified themselves asexual stayed in their original group assigned to them. The remaining members are placed into the sexual category. To diagnose participant for HSDD, research as them to indicate their symptom based on the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, 4th edition, text revised (APA, 2000). The diagnostic helps research indicates which group each member belongs to; HSDD criteria A, B, or C. Participant who declared all of HSDD Criterion A claims that they experience persistently or recurrently deficient sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. Individuals who were considered Criterion B described their absence of sexual fantasies and their desire of sexual activity causes them distress. Finally, those in Criterion C would state that their deficiency of sexual fantasies and their desire of sexuality “are not better accounted for by a mental health disorder (such as depression), a legal or illegal drug, or some other medical condition.” However, those who does not fit any of these descriptions were out of the sexual comparison group.

SEXUAL DISORDER Name: Institution: Sexual Disorder This case study brings forth a case of a client-husband, and wife-whose relationship is suffocating from sexual dysfunction, in particular, erectile dysfunction. The husband claims that whenever he tries to have sex with his wife, he is unable to erect. However, he claims that he watches porn, erects, and masturbates to ejaculation. This is a fact that the wife confirms, although, she is distraught since she thought the husband had stopped. The above summary, seems to suggest that the husband may be suffering from a sexual disorder referred to as “erectile dysfunction.’

Prior to the death of Mr. Collins father, his consumption of Internet pornography and sexual chatting was not considered remarkable. He appeared to be able to function sexually while masturbating and during sexual intercourse with the partners in his life prior to this life-altering event. Mr. Collins expressed a relatively normal desire for sexual contact as a teenager as well as desire to couple with partners his age in traditional ways, but after the death of his father, what normally produced the arousal necessary to ejaculate while masturbating and having sexual intercourse, no longer appears to have had the desired effect. It is at this time that it appears that the symptoms of depression began to manifest in Mr. Collins life, depressed mood, decreased interest or pleasure, change in sleep, change in activity, and concentration. As these symptoms manifested, it appears that the indicators of Hypersexual Disorder began to develop; excessive masturbation, obsessing about sex to the point that it interfered with his life, spending significant time planning their sexual activity, frequent viewing of pornography or use of sexually explicit websites or other online services including adult chat rooms, frequent one-night stands with strangers, staying emotionally detached from sexual partners, frequently engaging in paraphilias, and inability to stop despite the consequences.
