Sexual fetishism as a pathology

Sexual fetishism is one of the varieties of sexual behavior, the object of excitation of which are various subjects, such as: shoes, clothes, things made of a specific material, etc. Fetishism is the achievement of sexual pleasure in contact with objects that do not carry sexual overtones. They only create in the person's head associations with the object of their adoration.

The first talk about fetishism, as a deviation from the norm, began to appear in the distant nineteenth century. At that time, the well-known psychologist AlfredBinet told about this in his writings. He believed that fetishism - this is the sexual attraction that arises to inanimate objects in a normal person.

Already after, at the beginning of the twentieth century, and specifically - in the year nineteen twelve, Richard Freiherr, no less famous psychiatrist, introduced the two terms "masochism" and "sadism", thereby broadening the understanding of fetishism. From now on, not only the things concerned, but also the parts of the body were treated to him.

Mankind knows many varieties of sexual fetishism, since objects of a fetish can be countless. However, only in some cases, such sexual hobbies do not pass without a trace, require calls to doctors. That is why, sexologists have studied a few types of fetishism.

To no less strange inclinations are apotemnofilia, this is when a person wakes up to people who lack some parts of the body, and also have genetic deviations. Apotemnophilia can include narcissism. In this case, a person is more predisposed to a member of the self-harm.

One of the varieties of narcissism is automonosecialism , when a person wants to look like an object of the opposite sex, for example, by using disguise in clothes unusual for him. The subject of fetishism is the personal body, which a person compares to the body of another. Most often, a man compares his body with the body of a woman. Such a kind of fetishism combines narcissism and fetishistic transvestism.

Another deviation from the norm is the craving for a partner whose skin color is different. This kind of fetishism is called heterochromophilia . Next - in order to define this attraction, as fetishism, it is necessary to take into account that the attraction is caused by the color of the skin, and not by other personal characteristics of the partner.

To the variety of pygmalionism is also pornography, which is associated with the attraction to viewing the pornographic films. There is also sadistic pygmalionism. In this case, a person seeks to destroy art objects that can not be purchased for personal use.
