When we consider the fast pace of contemporary society, we also need to consider how think about sexual acts that wee previously considered deviant. Take a few moments and watch the psychology of fetishes. Then using the video, the supplemental readings, supplemental videos, and the text, respond to the following prompts:
How has the Internet challenged our current classification system for paraphilias? Is it appropriate to classify someone using an Internet camera to spy on others as a voyeur? How about someone who strips over the Internet?
Why are people far less bothered by female exhibitionism than male exhibitionism? What does this say about our culture?
How do we know when a sexual fantasy is “normal.” Is it when it become obsessive?
What is the difference between sexual variation and sexual deviation? Who determines when the line has been crossed? How do we integrate them into current thinking?
Be sure to cite your sources within the body of the text and list the references at the end of your post.
