THE PARAPHILIA'S and adverse effects on CUSTODIAL RIGHTS

 THE PARAPHILIA'S and adverse effects on CUSTODIAL RIGHTS

___________________________________________

INTRODUCTION: In the United States, forensic interviews that

psycho/sexual in nature are focused on any childhood molestation,

rape, viewing, possessing, and distributing child pornography.

   The determination of the presence or absence of a paraphilia 

disorder is likely to have a significant impact in possible

sentencing recommendations for offenders (determining whether

the prisoner should or should not be eligible for parole). The

presence of a paraphilia is associated with increased rates of

recidivism. Clearly, the findings of paraphilia in a forensic 

interview would ADVERSELY effect custody/custody rights.

WHAT ARE PARAPHILIAS? 

   

    The specific sexual disorders, as listed in the DSM V, were

selected for inclusion in the DSM itself because of their

noxiousness and family toxicity. Additionally, the existence

of paraphilias is correlated with the risk of harm to others;

thus classifying them as criminal defenses as well.

1. VOYERISTIC DISORDER: becoming sexually aroused by 

watching unsuspecting person(s) engaged in sexual activity.

Voyeristic disorder not only encompasses these "peeping Tom's",

but is associated with stalking, increased urges to get "closer"

to their subject, as well as rich fantasies of what it would be

like to engage in such behavior.

2. EXHIBITIONISTIC DISORDER: act of exposing one's "intimate

parts", in either a semi-public, or public-place (ie, breasts 

exposed, butt exposed)

3. FROTTERISM DISODER: act of touching, rubbing one's genitals

up against another person in a sexual manner without their

CONSENT. This kind of paraphilia in particular is one in which

the offender likely constantly engages in this behavior, and or,

is prone to repeating this behavior in general.

4. SADOMASOCISM DISORDER: deriving pleasure from repeatedly

inflicting physical pain, or deriving pleasure from a combination

of inflicting hurt upon others, as well as enjoying the

embarrassment/humiliation of another person sexually.

5. PEDOPHILIC DISORDER: re-occuring intense sexually

arousing thoughts that focus on fantasies, urges, and behavior

that is sexually focused on CHILDREN (typically 13 years or

younger). Pedophiles may be attracted to young boys,

young girls, or have no preference either way.

6. SEXUAL SADISM DISORDER: condition in which the 

abuser experiences great arousal in the presence of inflicting

torture, pain, beatings, or any kind of suffering, that they inflict

upon another person.

7. FETISHISTIC DISORDER: re-occuring intense sexually

arousing fantasies, urges, toward an inanimate object. This can

range from anything to sucking feet to leaving hickeys. 

8. TRANSVESTIC DISORDER: re-curret and intense sexual desire

when arousal is gain through cross-dressing. This arousal would

occur when the subject is cross-dressing, as well as having,

or acting on, sexual fantasies while cross-dressing.
