"...The psychopath wants what he wants when he wants it. In sexual activity, shared erotic pleasure is replaced with heightened sexual excitement and gratification at all costs. “No” always means “yes” and, depending on the degree of psychopathy, such a rationalization may be necessary to excuse the coercive behavior….the absence of any need to rationalize often accompanies severe psychopathy and the lack of any anxiety concerning social condemnation by others..."
"...The extreme callousness is sadism, wherein indifference toward others has been transformed into pleasure at their suffering. Sadism also involves pleasure through the dominance and control of another. Given the degree that psychopaths attempt to dominate their objects, rather than affectionately relate to them, it is not surprising that there is a strong and positive empirical relationship between measurable sadism and psychopathy..." ~excerpted from PDF article below
The relationship between psychopathy and sexual offending has been empirically established, but it is little understood. The author proposes nine explanations to provide a conceptual basis for this empirical relationship: (1) search polygyny; (2) callousness and a lack of empathy, (3) a lack of attachment or bonding, (4) sensation seeking as a product of chronic cortical underarousal, (5) grandiosity, (6) entitlement, (7) a predominance of part object relations, (8) a high frequency of predatory violence, and (9) the leaving by consensual sex partners when the psychopathy is identified. These explanations, constructed from anthropological, psychobiological, attachment, psychoanalytic, and aggression research, find some direct and indirect empirical support in the extant literature. They contribute to understanding the “polyorphously perverse” sexuality of the psychopath.”
