  • farfalla: being new I can't find this answer, there's just so much to look at, it feels a little overwhelming. Is there a way to have posts that a person has posted to have email notifiication that there is a response to a post?

  • mixedupmummy: I had his baby three years ago and moved to an isolated island miles away from him.  He's taking me to court to "teach me a lesson" and "bleed me dry".... I am terrified of losing my baby, but most immediately I am so worried I won't be able to cope.

The polymorphously perverse psychopath by J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D
« on: January 29, 2010, 06:29:31 PM »

"...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.”

CZ, just a side note: hope that the people on this board understand that the word 'perverse' does NOT have a sexual connotation necessarily.

Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perversion

As always, I enjoyed this article, as in: interesting (before anyone thinks I'm a pervert  =msn wink= )
