ABSTRACT
Few topics in the realm of human behavior are more fascinating, exciting, or perhaps contentious and controversial than sex. Sex is interesting, intriguing, and sometimes even disturbing. It has stimulated more attention than any other aspect of human behavior. Great curiosity is aroused by sexual practices deemed unusual, deviant, or deplorable. Known variously as sexual perversions, sexual deviations, or more commonly paraphilias, these practices range from the commonly known sadism, masochism, fetishism, and voyeurism to such uncommon and esoteric as homilophilia (sexual arousal from hearing or giving sermons), choreophilia (sexual arousal from dancing), and tripsolagnia (sexual arousal from having hair shampooed)!1
