However, it may be informative to review the sexual activities in your life which involve interaction with a partner. Thesebehaviors comprise an interpersonal level of sexuality. *, based on your fantasies and preferred sexual behaviors, it is apparent that you are mainly focused on solitary, individual activities. In addition, these activities may, or may not, be of a sexual nature. The following is a summary of your masturbatory practices and techniques.

This is noteworthy in that most men report the strongest orgasms following extended and frequently interrupted masturbation episodes. Overall, your masturbatory practices, when compared with most men, might best be described as * . (11,12,13,14) Your feelings regarding interpersonal sexuality are displayed at varying levels of consciousness which range from fantasy experiences to foreplay practices and climatic sexual encounters with a partner.

This requirement is shared by *% of all females. (16,17,18) Though you do not engage in interpersonal sexual activities, you may be experiencing a fulfilling sex life on an unconscious fantasy level. You mention that you most often fantasize about a partner who is * . This is a fantasy experienced by nearly * % of all males sampled. This fantasy probably involves * . It should be mentioned that, for many people, sexual encounters experienced during fantasy are sufficient to meet their needs and to reduce tension. (16) While you do not prefer to have sex with a partner, you may, on an unconscious level, be enjoying a fulfilling sex life through fantasy experiences. You stated that you most often fantasize about a partner who is a * . This type of fantasy partner is reported by about * % of all the females studied. The nature and content of these fantasy experiences has been outlinedabove. It is worth noting that, for many people, sexual fantasies provide a more than adequate outlet for sexual needs and tensions. (16) * , it is apparent that you are * able to achieve orgasm during \ intercourse. This statement is also made by * % of the female population studied. The thing which is most important in determining whether you reach orgasm is *. In general, it has been found that * % of all women also state this as the most important quality in determining whether or not they have an orgasm during intercourse. Along with * % of the women questioned in a recent study (Hite, 1981), you * achieve orgasm by manually stimulating your clitoris during intercourse. In comparing your orgasms during masturbation to your orgasms during intercourse, you feel that they are * . This is an opinion heldby * % of most women surveyed. (13,14,15) * , you mentioned that you feel your preferences for certain sexual behaviors are different than those of most people. That group of sexual behaviors which is characterized by a deviation from the standard, high prevalence behaviors, has been termed paraphilias. While you claim that you * prefer to use specific objects for sexual arousal, some people decide to make such objects an exclusive source of sexual enjoyment rather than merely an aid in enhancing a standard sexual activity. When the use of these objects becomes the exclusive source of sexual \ excitement, the person is said to be involved in a fetish. It is believed thata fetish develops through classical conditioning in which the object is first incorporated, often through fantasy, in a masturbation experience. The reinforcement of orgasm strengthens the association between sexual excitement and the fetish object. For many people, fetish-like objects (women's lingerie,silk stockings, high-heeled shoes) serve as a substitute for partners. \ These objects are discarded once a relationship is initiated or resumed. * , though you may not presently be practicing a fetish, you report that you make use of fetish objects * , the most commonly used objects being * . Therapy is currently available to remove fetishes by reconditioning the fetish object by associating it with an unpleasant experience (e.g. electric shock). (32,33) Though most people enjoy viewing the naked bodies of their sexual partnersand members of the sex to whom they are attracted, voyeurism occurs when a person prefers to obtain sexual gratification exclusively from viewing the naked bodies of unsuspecting people who may or may not be engaging in sexual activities. It is believed that voyeurs have similar personality \ characteristics to exhibitionists (those who like to expose themselves). Thesecharacteristics include poor social and sexual skills and strong feelings of inferiority. In some cases, the voyeuristic act may be reinforced by feelings of power and superiority over those being observed. Voyeurism is indicated only when a person engages in this activity exclusively, or, as a replacement for engaging in sexual behaviors with others. * , you stated that you derive sexual pleasure from enemas. This rare typeof paraphilia is known as Klismaphilia. It seems that \ males are most likely to have such experiences, including penile erection, following the distention of the bowels and anus. Usually sexual gratification is achieved by masturbation while the enema is taking place. In some instances, the enema itself may result in sexual gratification. It is not abnormal to be sexually aroused during an enema as the bowel and anus are in close proximity to the nerve centers which control the erection response. Klismaphilia is indicated only if such experiences have replaced typical sexualexperiences. * , you claim that you derive sexual pleasure from rubbing against other people in public places. This rare type of paraphilia is referred to as Frottage. The frotteur usually rubs against sexually desirable people in a crowded place such as a subway. The frotteur uses feelings aroused by such activities in a masturbation fantasy which takes place later. Though itis normal to be sexually aroused by close physical contact with attractive mates, those contacts mentioned here are termed frottage when they are \ intentional and serve as a replacement for typical sexual activities. (35) * , you claim that you derive sexual pleasure from contact with animals. This rare type of paraphilia is known as bestiality or zoophilia. Zoophilia refers to deriving sexual pleasure from fondling animals, observing the sexual activities of animals, or a fetish built around animal skins, furs, or body parts. Bestiality is by far the least prevalent sexual outlet reported by Kinsey (of the 1% of the population admitting paraphilias, 8% of men and 3% of woman reported sexual contacts with \ animals). However, Kinsey found that 17% of men reared on farms had reached orgasm through sexual relations with animals. Male contact with animals usually involves fellatio by the animal through licking, vaginal penetration, or manual manipulation of the animal's genitals by the man. Femalecontact with animals usually involves cunnilingus by the animal. The most commonly used animals are sheep, calves, dogs, cats and donkeys. (36,37,38) * , you report that you derive sexual pleasure from prepubertal children. This rare type of paraphilia is known as Pedophilia. Studies have shown that 85% of these behaviors include genital manipulation, indecent exposure and physical advances. Only 11% involve vaginal intercourse or anal \ penetration.The average age of the pedophile is 37 and the common age range is between 30-40 years of age. Older pedophiles seek out very young children, while younger pedophiles concentrate on adolescent girls. If you are participating in this type of paraphilia, you most likely maintain a Victorian attitude toward sex. You may be quite religious and moralistic. At the same time, you may be overly concerned about sexual matters,feeling guilty and negativistic, as if you are in a tug-of-war between worldly sex and religious piety. This paraphilia may develop as an attempt \ to cope with fears of failure in normal interpersonal situations. Since this type of behavior has been determined to be damaging to the children involved, if you are engaging in this activity you should seek professional therapy. Therefore, a association of sex and the processes of elimination (e.g. urination) may originate in several different childhood sources. \ Urophilia is apparently much more common among women. This is probably due to the fact that the urethra, the vulva, and the clitoris are all in the same general area. This causes a high likelihood of general stimulation during urination. Psychoanalysis may be helpful in removing the childhood associations responsible for the development of this paraphilia. (47) Along with nearly * % of the * population, you use drugs to heighten your sexual experiences. *, you mentioned that the specific drugs which you use on these occasions include * * * * * * * (20) Alcohol, or ethanol,is the most frequent drug taken by people as a sexualstimulant. It is also used as a way to reduce guilt, inhibitions, and fears about performance. Physiologically, this drug is classified as a sedative as itreduces the activity of the nervous system and slows reflexes. In low dosages,alcohol is believed to increase sexual desire and prolong sexual excitement due to decreased sensitivity. However, at high doses, this drug may decrease sexual desire, cause impotence in men and delay or prevent orgasm in both \ sexes. (21) Marijuana or its active ingredient, tetrahydracannabinol, is a commonly used drug which seems to have varied and unpredictable effects on sexual \ experiences. Studies have shown that some 25% of the sample group tested have used marijuana as a sexual stimulant, in which 80% reported increased pleasure (Athanasiou, et. al, 1970). This drug may increase or decrease sexual desire, has mixed effects on sexual excitement, and may lead to enhanced orgasms. Thesespecific effects may be due to the more general side effect of distortion of time perception. The American Medical Association has reported that marijuana users have a higher incidence of impotence than non-users. (22,23) Amphetamines and/or cocaine are drugs which act by stimulating the centralnervous system. Therefore, it is popularly believed that they are sexual stimulants. One study (Rubenstein, 1982) showed that 1% of 25,000 respondents had made use of cocaine within 24 hours of being surveyed. Low doses of amphetamines and believed by some to enhance sexual desire, excitement and orgasm experiences. However, chronic dosages may lead to decreased \ libido, impotence, and interference with the normal stages of arousal. These drugs may also cause an inability to reach orgasm. Psychologically, the extended use of these substances may lead to a preoccupation with the addition itself, thereby diminishing any interest in sexual pleasure. (24) Cantharides or "Spanish Fly" is a drug made from powdered beetles and is commonly used as an aphrodisiac. This substance acts by causing an acute irritation of the urinary tract accompanied by dilation of the blood vessels in the genitals leading to sexual stimulation. Though there is no increase in sexual desire, this drug may induce strong erections in men whentaken in low dosages. Repeated use or higher dosages may result in violent illness or death as this chemical poisons the urinary tract. \ In addition, the prolonged erection which results from ingestion of "Spanish Fly" can lead to permanent penile damage. (25,26) Amyl nitrate, often enhaled as "poppers", is a drug which enhances the vascular response of the genitals and produces a "rush" during the moment of orgasm, an altered state of consciousness, loss of inhibition, and faintness. In a recent study, 60% of amyl nitrate users reported negative sideeffects including nasal irritation, nausea, impotence and dizziness (Lowery, 1979). This drug does not increase sexual desire but rather is used to intensify an impending orgasm, as the user pops the drug at the moment \ preceding orgasm. This drug seems to be more popular among males. It is noteworthy that coronary occlusions which result in death have been reported following the use of amyl nitrate during intercourse. (27,28) Hallucinogens such as LSD and mescaline achieve their psychic effects by disrupting the emotional control centers of the brain. Apparently, these drugshave mixed effects on sexual desire, no effect on sexual excitement and no physiological effect on orgasm, though the perception of the orgasmic experience may be distored. Some report enhanced erotic feelings following theingestion of these drugs. Others report impaired \ sexuality. Though there has been no documented biochemical or pharmacological evidence to support the use of hallucinogens as sexual stimulants, some individuals have proclaimedLSD as the most powerful aphrodisiac ever discovered by man. The most commonlyreported sexual experience associated with hallucinogens is an orgasm which is perceived as being detached from the body. (30,31) One of the most common "mail order" aphrodisiacs, Yohimbine, is a drug extracted from the Yohimbe tree in Africa. Used as a treatment for neuritis and meninigitis, this drug also stimulates those areas of the nervous system which control erection. The drug is an old favorite of African men as a sexual stimulant. It is available in the U.S. in capsule form in combination with nox-vomica (strychnine) which also stimulates penile erection. Extended use ofthis drug and its various combinants may result in permanent penile damage. You mentioned that you have engaged in menage-a-trois sexual activities inthe past. This puts you in company with 36% of the males questioned in a recent study. Regarding the specifics of these experiences you prefer *. These encounters * with whom you engage in * . You state that during sexual activities you * enjoy having a third person watch.(81) You mentioned that you have participated in menage-a-trois sexual activities in the past. This puts you in similar company with 34% of the females questioned in a recent study. Regarding the specifics of these experiences, you prefer * and these encounters * with whom you engage in * . You state that during sexual activities you * enjoy having a third person watch. The sharing of a sexual partner while a third party observes is an activity known as troilism. This also involves situations in which two couples are having sexual relations in the visual presence of each other. Some expertsview troilism as encompassing the elements of exhibitionism and voyeurism. Others claim that it is an expression of latent homosexual impulses since the troilist may identify with his marital (opposite sex) partner during these experiences. It is noteworthy that troilism is far more prevalent among \ men than women. Despite these theories and findings, modern work focuses on troilism as a sexual variation in group sex activity. (82) * , you claim that you * enjoy mate-swapping, an activity similarly enjoyed by less than 5% of married men and women. Nevertheless, estimates from a 1970 survey showed the approximately 1 million Americans regularly engaged in mate-swapping. The results of several major studies of swingers have yielded a "composite picture" of the average \ mate-swapper. If you fit in with this picture, you are most-likely to be upper-middle class, Caucasian, politically conservative, with kids, and conventional in most non-sexual areas of your life. Though some swingers have serious sexual problems, and may be substance abusers, it may be that you became a swinger as a way to replace boredom in your current relationship with sexual excitement and variety. \ Studies comparing swingers with a matched control group of non-swingers show that mate-swappers have sex with their spouses more often, are slightly more happily married, include wives who are orgasmically more responsive, and overall, seem to be less bored. However, these same "swingers"exhibited extreme sexual performance pressures, guilt, jealousy, and threatening feelings. (83,84,85,86,87) You report that you do engage in sadomasochistic behaviors, yet the results of a recent study (Lowe, et.al,1983) showed that 7% of 65,000 men, and 8% of 115,000 women had tried it. Sadomasochistic behaviors are defined as that group of activities used to obtain sexual pleasure through receiving or inflicting physical and/or mental pain. Some experts theorize that these activities enhance sexual arousal because they heighten the general excitement of the body via increased blood pressure, muscle tension, and \ hyperventilation. Others feel that people engage in S & M because they need additional non-sexual stimuli (ropes, whips, and other props) to achieve sufficient arousal as these "extras" take their mind off the guilt and anxiety that they associate with sex. Psychoanalysts feel that sadomasochism has its roots in childhood where the individual received spankings and became sexually excited due to having his/her genitals rubbed on the knee of the parent. These experiences may result in an unconscious linking of pain and \ sexual pleasure which manifests itself as adult sadomasochistic behavior. (88,89,90,91) * , while engaging in sadomasochistic behaviors you * prefer to have the female as a dominant, while you * make use of the male dominant activities. These preferences are likely to reflect the degree to which you maintain sadistic or masochistic tendencies. You do report that you * forced sex on your partners in the past. This is something that nearly * % of the populationadmits to. Along with * % of the people questioned in a recent study, you * have fantasies of molestation and humiliation. During your S & M \ activities, you * enjoy "golden showers" (partner urinating on you). This puts you in agreement with * % of the people tested in that same study. You * make use of bondage props, and * enjoy spankings. You describe the pain which \ results as *. It is noteworthy that, for most S & M enthusiasts, this pain ismerely symbolic; however, several cases of lust murder have been reported where the sadist achieves orgasm only through the act of killing. More than likely, your reasons for engaging in sadomasochism stem from the fact that it represents a marked departure from your typical sexual activities. S & M has become so popular in America that major cities now advertise S & M "Clubs." Atthe present time, you report you are * a member of these clubs. (88,89,90,91,92,93) * , you do not report any problems in your sex life at the present time and seem to be content with your current level of sexual functioning. In that sexually-related disorders are probably the most prevalent group of human illnesses, you should be congratulated on maintaining a "healthy status" in this area of your life. Good luck in all of your future romantic and sexual pursuits! * , you did not report any difficulties in your sex life at the present time and seem to be content with your current level of sexual functioning. In that sexually-related disorders seem to be among the most common group of illnesses in the human race, you should be congratulated on maintaining a "healthy status" in this area of your life. Good luck in all of your future romantic and sexual endeavors! In addition to stating your specific sexual activities and partner preferences, you mentioned that you experience difficulties or problems in yoursex life *. It may be comforting for you to know that sexual therapy has been very effective in eliminating many sexual problems, and you may want to consider such therapy. The following is a review of these problem areas. *, you * suffer from a lack of desire in your sex life. This is a \ difficulty which has *. This problem was similarly reported by 16% of the men questioned in a recent study. Another name for this difficulty is Inhibited Sexual Desire (ISD). ISD is described by Kaplan (1979) as a lack of interest in the initiation and participation in sexual fantasy and activity. The commonpsychological and physiological factors associated with ISD are severe stress, depression, and low testosterone levels. It is also associated with chronic drug and alcohol abuse and blood pressure medications. Other sources of ISD are interpersonal conflicts such asprolonged frustration of sexual needs, hostility or lack of trust and respect between two partners, and finally, the use of sexual apathy to punish a \ partner. Also, many people suffer from ISD because they have never learned to get in touch with their own genital sensations of arousal and become unable to generate interest and arousal within themselves. Most therapeutic strategies for ISD involve a collaboration between both partners. The partners attempt toreestablish a mutual awareness of each others' sensual needs, as well as a resolution of interpersonal issues. (48,49,50) You * experience impotence, a difficulty which has * . Though most men \ experience erectile difficulties at one time or another, Masters and Johnson state that a man should be labeled impotent only if he is unable to achieve an erection in 25% or more of his sexual encounters. According to your responses,it appears that you may be suffering from * . In a recently studied sample, itwas found that 7% of men had difficulty getting an erection, while 9% had trouble maintaining the erection during sexual activities. In a study by Masters and Johnson, 31% of the cases reported impotence, with 13% complaining of primary erectile inhibition and 87% reporting secondary erectile inhibition.These researchers also listed several causes of secondary erectile inhibition including a history of premature ejaculation, alcohol abuse, excessive parental domination in childhood, inhibitory religious beliefs, homosexual conflict, and certain physiological inhibitors. Treatment involves removal of the males's fears of failure and performance anxiety, and reorienting \ his emotions and sensations toward active involved participation. Therapy alsoinvolves working with the male partner's fear of sexual dysfunction. This therapy has enjoyed a 73.8% success rate for secondary impotence, and a 59.4% rate of success for primary impotence. (51,52,53) *, you state that you are * unable to achieve orgasm during sex, a difficulty which has * . In that this difficulty arises * , you can be said tobe suffering from *. Feelings of anxiety, fear, anger and guilt about sexual expression, ambivalence about the relationship, or fear of loss of control can all be possible sources of this problem. Thus, these symptoms should be the focus of therapy.(55) * , you also state that you * experience premature ejaculation during sex which is a problem which has * . This type of sexual difficulty is the most prevalent of all problems reported by men. Nearly * % of all males experience it as often as you. Masters and Johnson clinically define premature ejaculation as the inability to control ejaculation long enough to satisfy a normally functioning female partner in at least 50% of coital encounters. It is important to remember that the average duration of \ intercourse is 4-7 minutes and the ability to continue past this point does notsignificantly increase the likelihood of female orgasm. Premature ejaculation can be caused by inadequate vaginal lubrication, extended and vigorous foreplay, extended periods of celibacy, and conditioning from past experiences in which a quick orgasm was desirable (e.g. intercourse in the backseat of a car). The most potent cause of premature ejaculation is anxiety related to performance. This causes both emotional and muscular \ tension. However, the condition does appear to be reversible in 98% of cases treated with Seman's Technique and/or the Squeeze Technique where the penis is removed from the vagina at the moment of orgasm and squeezed until the urge to ejaculate subsides. Other less successful techniques, designed to decrease sensitivity, include wearing several condoms and/or applying numbing chemical compounds to the penis. (56,57,58,59) You mentioned that you * have extremely delayed ejaculation during sex and that this is a problem which has * . In that this difficulty arises *, youcan be said to be suffering from * , a problem which is somewhat rare. Common causes include fear of impregnation, lack of sexual excitement and efforts to ejaculate too soon. The most commonly believed reason for delayed ejaculation is a psychological rejection of a woman who has been unfaithful or who the male may see as contaminated or impure. Treatment for this difficulty \ proceeds by discussing emotional and relationship issues before beginning the sensate focus exercise program. The object of these exercises is for the womanto bring the man to orgasm outside of the vagina until he is able to ejaculate inside of the vagina. (60) According to your basic personality structure, it is possible that your sexual difficulties stem from an intrapsychic or internal conflict. It is possible that conflicts arising from unresolved oedipal wishes (attraction to mother) may be major causes of your sexual difficulty. Specifically, castration anxiety, a by-product of these conflicts, may lead to repressed incestuous wishes and guilt when attempting intercourse with a femalewho is symbolic of your mother. The guilt and fear of punishment which resultscould bring about specific performance difficulties including impotence and premature ejaculation, and a variety of sexual difficulties may arise. (61) You may persist in ambivalent childhood conflicts which have been tainted by much parental disagreement and contradictory messages. Seeing your mother in varying degrees of pleasant and unpleasant situations in the past, you are now likely to view women as either "respectable" (to be loved and respected) or "degraded" (to be enjoyed sexually), with no one \ between these two extremes. This "madonna-prostitute" complex may lead you to experience sexual difficulties with your loved one ("respectable women"), and to seek outside physical relations with casual and unloved sexual partners ("degraded women"). (62) It is possible that you may be experiencing primitive fears of being engulfed, or losing your boundaries as an independent individual. Rather than give up a part of yourself in intercourse, you may distance yourself emotionally and withhold your orgasm and ejaculation. Anorgasmia and ejaculatory incompetence may be difficulties to which you are most susceptible, though impotence as an indirect method of withholding yourself from a partner may also occur. (63) You may be harboring great fears over loss of control. This may be due to childhood experiences where you learned that, without control, all of your terrible and dangerous impulses would surface. Thus, you would be exposed as anunworthy person. In that orgasm implies a certain loss of control, you may feel that these awful impulses will surface and that you will either tear the vagina or that the vagina will trap the penis. Usually, these unconscious fears result in impotence or anorgasmia, though other sexual \ difficulties may be present. (64) In addition to stating your specific partner preferences and sexual activities, you mentioned that you experience problems or difficulties in your sex life * . It may be comforting for you to know that sexual therapy has beenvery effective in eliminating many sexual problems, and you may want to consider such therapy. The following is a summary and review of these problem areas. *, you * suffer from a lack of desire in your sex life. This is a difficulty which has * . This problem was also reported by 35% of the women questioned in a recent study. Another name for this difficulty is Inhibited Sexual Desire (ISD). It is described by Kaplan (1979) as a lack of interest in the initiation and participation in sexual fantasy and activity. Experts feel that several reasons may account for low sexual desire in women. These include restrictive child rearing, a \ passive sexual role, psychological factors (individual and relationship problems) and physical factors (disease, drugs, and infection). Therapy for women with ISD includes reeducation (examination of attitudes and feelings regarding sex learned in childhood), the creation of a safe emotional environment, and the use of the sensate focus program of sexual exercises. (65,66,67) You claim that you * experience pain during intercourse, a difficulty which has * . Any pain experienced during intercourse is referred to as Dyspareunia. This sexual dysfunction may be caused by several physical and psychological factors. This problem is reported by 10%of gynecological patients and may be detected in the vaginal entrance, vaginal walls, clitoris, cervix, and uterus. Among physical causes, vaginal pain can be brought about by inadequate lubrication, hormonal imbalance, various \ infections, intact rigid hymen, and irritation from contraceptive jellies and spermacides. Clitoral pain may be due to smegma collection under the clitoral hood and uterine pain can be caused by stretching of uterine ligaments, endometriosis, and gonorrhea. Psychological causes of dyspareunia include guilt, anxiety and early unresolved psychological trauma (e.g. child molestation). These cases of coital pain can be successfully treated with counseling and psychotherapy. (68,69) * , you state that you are * unable to reach orgasm during sex, a difficulty which has * . In that this problem arises *, you can be said to be suffering from * , a problem reported by approximately 10% of adult women. More than 95% of the orgasmic dysfunction cases reported by Masters and Johnsonseem to be psychological in nature. These factors include restrictive child rearing, a passive sexual role, and individual and relationship issues. Other causes of orgasmic \ dysfunction include excessive focusing on the partner, negative feelings towarda mate, too little stimulation, fear of letting go, alcohol, too little information, and anatomical variations (hooded clitoris). Therapy for this difficulty includes sensate focus excercises, encouragement to learn to masturbate to orgasm as an introduction to intercourse experiences, and Kegel pelvic exercises which strengthen the muscles around the vaginal opening. It is believed that these interventions will lead most to orgasm. (70,71,72) * , you also state that you * experience involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles, making penetration difficult or impossible at these times. This rare type of sexual difficulty is called Vaginismus. Masters and Johnson (1970) have reported that vaginismus can be caused by repeated impotence of the male partner, chronic painful intercourse, fear or guilt about intercourse due to religious taboos, emotionally traumatic past experience (e.g. rape), homosexual inclinations, and feelings of \ hostility toward sexual partners. Treatment for this disorder has been developed and includes Kegel exercises, vaginal dilators of various sizes, and various "homeplay exercises" involving both partners. Masters and Johnson (1970) report a 100% success rate in alleviating vaginismus when these treatments are combined with psychotherapy to reduce the guilt and fear accompanying longstanding cases. (73, 74) You reported that you experience inadequate vaginal lubrication during sex. Kaplan (1974) has termed this difficulty as General Sexual Dysfunction and equates it to erectile dysfunction in men. Though this is an occasional problem for most women, continued episodes of inadequate lubrication may be caused by biological factors (e.g. low estrogen levels), learning factors (e.g.inexperience with sexual arousal), and emotional factors (e.g. sexual apathy, anger, or fear). It is most important to remember that during extended \ intercourse experiences, with lengthy stages of plateau levels of arousal, a decrease in vaginal lubrication is to be expected. Simultaneous stimulation ofother body parts, including the clitoris, may help to increase lubrication in these situations, though more extensive treatments may be required for chronic cases. (75,76) According to your basic personality style, it is possible that your sexualdifficulties stem from an intrapsychic or internal conflict. It is possible that conflicts arising from unresolved oedipal wishes (for your father) could be major causes of your present sexual difficulties. Specifically, repressed incestuous wishes and guilt may surface when attemptingintercourse with a male who is symbolic of your father. The fear of punishmentand guilt which results may bring about such difficulties as inadequate lubrication and anorgasmia, though other sexual difficulties are possible. (77) You may be persisting in the confusing conflicts of your childhood which may have been colored by much parental discord and contradictory messages. Due to this confusion, you may identify all men with your father \ and may avoid intercourse, or be unable to experience pleasure with these partners. Only when these relationships involve no emotional involvement are you able to enjoy your partners in a sexual way. As a result, your sexual difficulties are likely to be most pronounced with a loving mate, leading you to seek outside physical relations as a sexual outlet. (78) It is possible that you may be experiencing deep-rooted fears of being engulfed, or losing your boundaries as an independent individual. Rather than give up a part of yourself in intercourse, you distance yourself emotionally and prevent penetration as you view your body as private property. Anorgasmic vaginismus and inadequate vaginal lubrication may be difficulties to which you are the most susceptible. (79) You may be experiencing great fears over loss of control due to early childhood experiences in which you learned that, without control, all of your terrible and dangerous impluses would surface. In that orgasm implies a certain loss of control, you may feel that these awful impulses will emerge at this time and that you will trap the penis or have your vagina torn by your partner's penis. Often these unconscious fears can result in anorgasmia and vaginismus as you tend to be tense and overly contract your vaginal \ muscles during sexual experiences. (80) * , in the next InterAction sections we will deal with specific sexual variations that you have indicated in the InterAction questionnaire. These include categories such as drug use, group sex, and sadomasochistic behaviors. *, since you indicated that you do have interest in some or all of these subjects, we will cover those below. Thank you for reviewing the InterAction Analysis. We hope you found the analysis to be informative and educational. Remember, the facts stated here are based on both published sources and your answers to the InterAction questionnaire. Information contained in this analysis is not intended to replace a psychologist or counselor, and IntraCorp suggests for further information on your sexual profile you consult a trained professional. * , you stated that you derive sexual pleasure from sexual contact with a dead person. This extremely rare type of paraphilia is known as necrophilia. Experts view necrophilia as the most deviant of all sexual variations and define it as sexual gratification stemming from the sight of, oractual sexual intercourse with, a corpse. The sexual experience is often followed by mutilation and devouring of the limbs of the corpse. Usually considered to be a psychotic behavior, necrophilia is believed \ to be an attempt by the person to dominate someone whom he was unable to dominate while alive. (43,44) * , you further state that you derive sexual pleasure from filth or dirt. This type of paraphilia is a form of obsessive interest in excretory processeswhich has been termed mysophilia. A related type of paraphilia, involving gratification achieved through the act of soiling the body or clothes of another person or representation of that person, has been termed saliromania. These sexual variations are believed to be related to repressed sexual needs and the association of anything sexual with "dirtiness". \ Such associations are usually formed during childhood. A form of psychotherapy known as psychoanalysis can be helpful in breaking these associations and reducing the accompanying guilt. (45) * , you claim that you derive sexual pleasure from feces. This type of paraphilia is a form of obsessive interest in excretory processes and has been termed copraphilia. This type of sexual variation is believed to be related torepressed sexual acts of childrens' elders. Psychoanalysts see coprophilia as a defense against castration anxiety in men whereby feces is seen as a representation of the penis. In support of this theory is the fact that coprophilia is most commonly found in men. Psychoanalysis may be helpful \ in breaking these associations and reducing the guilt resulting from this paraphilia. (46) *, you state that you derive sexual pleasure from urine. This rare type of paraphilia is a form of obsessive interest in excretory processes and has been termed Urophilia. This type of variation is thought to be related to the suppression of sexual desires and the association of anything sexual with "nastiness" and "dirtiness". These associations result from specific childhoodexperiences in which urination is associated with the sexual activity of elders and the protruding abdomen in pregnancy. \ This type of paraphilia may have negative health consequences according to recent research implicating bodily fluids as a likely candidate in the transmission of AIDS.
