Sexual Deviation: An Introduction.

FROM THE POINT OF VIEW of other animals, and especially the rest of the primate species, human sexuality, as it is commonly practiced in industrialized countries ... is a deviation. There is little awareness of or respect for the opposite gender. There is an obsession with the physical to the point of avoidance of the sensual. There is a considerable degree of emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse in what has been common practice until the latter 1990's. It does not have to be that way --- is not that way in simpler social organizations, and was not that way in very early human history. Sexual and interpersonal dysfunction, that is, failure, is a feature of "modern" civilization.

EACH OF US WOULD BE HEALTHIER and less prone to chronic illnesses including Hypersensitivities such as addictions, depression, and cancer, IF, we were aware of the contents of this site and chose to lead and mentor a more constructive and positive lifestyle. That said, it is the position taken here, and supported by my work in balancing, that the healthiest lifestyle is a commitment between a balanced male and female couple who are capable of sharing and encouraging freedom, equality, love, and spirituality. The recognition of and understanding of other relationship forms can assist us in being tolerant and supportive of others who have often become as they are through ignorance, abuse, and hereditary Energy Block accumulation.

ATTEMPTS TO UNDERSTAND the sexual deviations of masochism, sadism, fetishism, rape, sexual rage murder, delusions, sodomy, bestiality, incest, necrophilia, coprolagnia, flagellation, homosexuality and lesbianism, effemination and defemination, and others ... have largely been given over into intolerance, persecution, empowerment, and expansion of such practices. The miniscule occurrence of physically determined lesbiansim and homosexuality is excluded here. The greatest part of research untainted by prejudice places all such sexual deviations as ACQUIRED preferences. Only a few will be mentioned here.

As an example of how little we have learned in the past century, most of what follows are quotations from Kraft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis. He wrote it, and little has been added of a constructive nature since. Much of the work reads like the casebook of an investigator. Some sexual variations and practices are suggested as being of a hereditary basis because nothing was known then about ENERGY BLOCKS, hormones, or the specifics of behavioral imprinting.

"If man (and woman) were deprived of sexual fulfillment and the nobler enjoyments arising therefrom, all poetry and probably all moral tendency would be eliminated from his (and her) life."

DEPRIVATION is common in modern society.
Large numbers of men are increasingly segregated by gender into penal institutions. Large numbers of men and women are segregated apart from one another for the majority of each day through their respective roles in a commercial and industrial economy. Large numbers of men and women have as children and later as adults --- been subjected to emotional, physical and spiritual abuse ... often by others who themselves have been subjected to emotional, physical and spiritual abuse.

POWER CULTURES, which pattern authority-inferiority relationships into their citizens, have avoided teaching and patterning almost any of a multitude of positive coping skills which are known to encourage greater self and spiritual awareness as well as positive, peaceful, respectful and long lasting intimate, group, and cultural harmony.

"Exaggerated tension of the nervous system stimulates sensuality, leads the individual as well as the masses to excesses, and undermines the very foundations of society, and the morality and purity of family life."

A LACK OF SENSUAL EXPERIENCE AND an ever increasing environment of frustration, sacrifice, and subservience to social and political human authorities leads to excessive demands upon sexual expression. The resulting excess frustrates the spiritual aspects of love by promoting the egotistical aspects of timeliness (I want it now), selfishness (I want it my way), and materialism (I want to control it ... possess it).

"Man primarily loves woman as his wife, and then as the mother of his children; the first place in woman's heart belongs to the father of her child, the second to him as husband. Woman is influenced in her choice more by mental than by physical qualities."

Even into the 1990's, new books are being published and promoted ... as if this difference between the genders had just been noticed! Much of the difference is role centered according to how each gender is socially rewarded and judged. Men are judged for their interpersonal aggressiveness (competitiveness), for their muscular build, and their level of materialistic compulsion ... all symptoms of high testosterone levels.

WOMEN ARE OFTEN REJECTED by society if they have not given birth to at least one child, or one company, ... and are not interpersonally dependent upon the mothering of her children and her spouse. Since women are the dominant caregivers in our society, and, since they are judged on the successful outcome of that caregiving --- they are forced by necessity to be materialistically concerned for the ability of their spousal partner to provide the income she is restricted from earning by the superior performance of her role.

GREATER ROLE SHARING AND EQUALIZATION in terms of freedom would permit greater personal independence and self-responsibility ... which in turn would provide the potential for greater equality and less anxiety and frustration in one's daily demands. This greater sharing would lead to a greater empathy and understanding of one another together with compassion for the greater community. If work-sharing and a restricted level of material lifestyle were chosen, a loving couple would find themselves sharing more time together and expressing their love for one another in ways of greater quality (depth, duration, variation).

"In these cases of premature manifestation of libido the children begin early to masturbate; and since they are greatly predisposed constitutionally, they often sink into dementia, or become subjects of severe degenerative neuroses or psychoses."

A PREOCCUPATION WITH and excess in the use of masturbation often arises from a lack of parental and societal attention within an otherwise stimulus starved environment. To counter feelings of abandonment (fear-loss-grief-anger), boredom (frustration of curiosity and variety), and depression (inactivity and isolation) a child may resort to masturbation as a source of good feelings (action, self-involvement, joy, release, confidence, self-acceptance). Without other avenues of "affordable" sensual expression, the child becomes fixated upon her/himself.

Extended into or activated freshly by similar restrictions in adulthood, males may find equal, yet more socially acceptable behavior, in the stroking of their beard, mustache, rifle, tools, ... and the fingering of their cigarette, pencil, computer keyboard, liquor glass, or steering wheel. Women, accounting for their gender and role, may find equal expressions in the constant stroking of their hair, re-arrangement of their clothing, excessive attention to their children, manipulation of their cigarette, manicuring, hair dressing, clothes shopping and increasingly ... activities mentioned above which were once largely male oriented. This does not refer to occasional or necessary activities. Rather it is those activities which are compulsive by desire and largely destructive to one's health or wasteful of one's attention.

SEXAHOLISM and most so-called sexually deviant practices are less socially acceptable outcomes of the same traumatized need for sensual expression, acceptance, and interpersonal involvement.

"Education and manner of life have a great influence upon the intensity of the sexual life. Intense mental activity (hard study), physical exertion, emotional depression, and sexual (lack of physical erection-arousal ability) decidedly diminish sexual inclination. ... As peripheral causes of diminution or extension of libido, may be mentioned castration, degeneration of the sexual glands, sexual excesses in the form of coitus and masturbation, and alcoholism and abuse of cocaine ... general disturbances of nutrition ... and injuries to the brain and spinal cord ... hysteria ... and emotional insanity."

AN INABILITY TO BALANCE one's lifestyle with an awareness of oneself, self-responsibility, a release of one's Energy Blocks, the development of positive communicating and other coping skills, and, an exclusion of disinformation and misinformation --- can only promote the development of sexual deviancy.

"Since woman has less sexual need than man, a predominating desire in her arouses a suspicion of its pathological significance. Those living in large cities, who are constantly reminded of sexual things and incited to sexual enjoyment, certainly have more sexual desire than those living in the country. A dissipated, luxurious, sedentary manner of life, preponderance of animal food, and the consumption of spirits, spices, etc., have a stimulating influence on the sexual life. In woman the sexual inclination is post-menstrually increased."

LIBIDINAL DIFFERENCES between genders appears to be lessening in the 1990's. Most women in North America now live in cities and lead lives devoid of physically exhausting activities. Perhaps the major difference with a century ago is that the majority of modern women are overweight ... part of which may be the result of repressed or denied libidinal needs, lack of sensual breast feeding, and, parasitic illnesses.
