I can see how this could lead to unsafe practices or putting people in situations outside of their comfort level. As our text explains the behavioral account of the development of paraphilias, after a person pairs masturbation with inappropriate sexual fantasies repeatedly, they then extend the frequency and intensity. Naturally, if the person is feeling good about what they are doing they will repeat it. The intensity increase can account for the need to add to what they are doing. What may have been exciting and shocking before, is dull and boring at the present so they need to come up with something new. I was astounded by the statistics in our lecture notes regarding people who using the internet for sexual entertainment and was surprised to see that there was no percentage for those who were just curious or began with curiosity. I was also surprised that over 50% of the men were in committed relationships. I wonder if the relationship was lacking something for them or if they would…
Sexuality, like many other things in our world, is an ever changing thing. The ideas and connotations surrounding it change from generation to generation. Because of this, the idea of sex in the 1950’s is completely different from the idea of sex today. Today, sexuality can be expressed in almost anything we do.

These included the sexuality of women, pedagogization of children’s sex, socialization of procreative behavior, and psychiatrization of perverse pleasure. “…It is worth remembering that the first figure to be invested by the deployment of sexuality, one of the first to be "sexualized," was the "idle" woman” (121). The hysterization of women’s bodies conceived a female’s physique as a symbol of sex; it became a focus for public attention and discipline. As a result, women became a center for medicinal knowledge. Second, the sexuality of children considered young adults as extremely carnal beings and thus, had to be studied and controlled via adults, pastors, doctors.…
