    It doesn't matter what I think

    Perversion, Sexual - in psychology, sexual behavior deemed pathological by its deviation from "normal" sexual desire. The definition of sexual perversion has shifted considerably over time: indeed, it has never been an uncontested category of meaning. For example, homosexual desire has long been stigmatized as sexual perversion among many segments of Western society (and remains so among some), but within the field of psychology, it is no longer considered pathological. Use of the term perversion itself has come under wide criticism in recent years. Today, psychologists generally refer to nontraditional sexual behavior as sexual deviation or, in cases where the specific object of arousal is unusual, as paraphilia. There are a number of recognized disorders of this type. In fetishism, the object of sexual desire is either an inanimate object or a nongenital part of the human anatomy. Voyeurism involves the covert viewing of other individuals who are naked, undressing, or engaged in sexual activity, as the primary means of sexual arousal. Sexual arousal as a result of physical contact with prepubescent children is described as pedophilia. Other forms of sexual deviation include exhibitionism, incest, transvestism, necrophilia, sadism, and masochism. Many of these behaviors, when they involve the participation of nonconsenting adults (or children, consenting or not), are punishable by law. Although rape is not classified as a paraphilia, it is a serious sexual deviance, and perhaps the most highly reviled form of sexual gratification. Most forms of sexual deviance are accompanied by any number of other psychological disorders.


    And you accuse me of being PC
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      I think the key to that quote is 'and remains so among some' ie: you.

      I don't think I am being PC at all, I just happen to think that the days of seeing homosexuality as a perversion (esp in the West) are long gone. I think there are many other forms of perversion to worry about - one handed typing for example.

          It depends whether you view perversion as good or bad, you seem to see it as a bad thing, repression? or someone scared of life?

          Maybe homosexaulity is normal and hetrosexuality is a perversion?

              You still are, you don't even know how to use an apostrophe so how could you ever understand etymology?

                Well, BP, certainly in your use of it you were saying it was, and generally the idea of a perversion is not seen as acceptable or positive.

                Far from 'scared of life' many of the perverts I know have lived long and outrageously!

                  Is there any real need to be so horrible or personal?

                    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                      I drink 2-3 pints ever couple of months, I am quietly confident I am not an alcoholic.

                      I think the people protesting the most on this thread have thngs to be concerned about.
