| | Differential Diagnosis of Addictive Sexual Disorders Using the DSM-IV |
| | The paraphilias are characterized by recurrent, intense sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors that involve unusual objects, activities, or situations that occur over a period of at least six months and cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. | | | Addiction professionals who encounter both compulsive and impulsive sexual acting-out behaviors in their patients have experienced paradigm and nomenclature communication difficulties with mental health professionals and managed care organizations who utilize DSM terminology and diagnostic criteria. | | | In the differential diagnosis of sexual improprieties and excesses, Axis II characterologic disorders and traits are often contributory, or may be considered the primary etiology of paraphilic sexual behavior. |

| | However, common usage also refers to sexual activities outside of the so-called "norm" (sex involving urination or defecation, for example). | | | Oral sex involves the stimulation of the sexual organs (or anus) of one person by the mouth (tongue, etc.) of another. | | | Technically, a sexual fetish involves sexual attraction to an inanimate object. |

| | We can classify sexual activities but we cannot apply value judgments to these sexual activities as this is really determined by the society in which the activity takes place and secondly, by the individual, or the individuals, involved in the sexual activities. | | | Only by this understanding of the sexual template will therapists be able to provide beneficial sex therapy to patients and clients. | | | In its simplest form the sexual template consists of physiological urges generally emanating in the limbic system or paleocortex which includes the amygadala, the hypocampus and hypothalamus which control sexual desire and mating behavior and causes humans to want to have sex either with others or by themselves through masturbation. |

| | Masturbation: for the sexually deprived or the sexually depraved? Compassionate, biblical insights into a moral dilemma for born again Christians |
| | As is also the case for sexual intercourse, self-stimulation need not involve sexual thoughts or sights but it usually does, because it falls naturally into the same behavioral patterns as other sexual activities. | | | Little children might discover masturbation before they have any awareness of sexual relations, but if left entirely to their own devices, (would it be off the mark to say vices?) as they grow and begin to experience sexual attraction, masturbation and sexual thoughts instinctively come together. | | | Irrespective of what extremes one goes to in modifying ones technique and ones thought life to drain the act of sexual overtones, masturbation is still the stimulation of sexually responsive parts of the body. |

| | Reproductive Physiology, etc. |
| | In humans, various activities including “flirting&; and “foreplay” lead up to and physiologically stimulate and prepare the couple’s bodies for coitus, and in general, most women need considerably more stimulation over a longer period of time than many men, to physiologically prepare their bodies for sexual intercourse. | | | Additionally, androgens are responsible for development of the male reproductive organs during embryonic development, development of secondary sexual characteristics (beard, deeper voice) and behaviors (singing in birds), and production of sperm. | | | In previous generations when young people were taught that they were capable of abstinance and were expected to abstain from sexual intercourse until marriage, the rates of teen-age pregnancies among unwed mothers were much lower. |
