ABSTRACT
The title of this chapter, “Three Faces of Sexual Explicitness,” refers to the major topics we examine. First, empirical effects of sexual explicitness certainly do involve antisocial ones, but they can also include potentially prosocial and educational effects. The second major topic reviewed here concerns the interface of internal fantasy and external stimulation. Finally, therapy for sexual deviance, variation, and dysfunction, and the important issues connected to them, receive attention.
