Sexual deviations

Cyproterone is used to control sexual attraction in men in cases of sexual deviations, as well as for inoperable prostate gland carcinoma. In women, it is used for severe cases of androgenization, and in children with idiopathic premature sexual maturity. Synonyms of this drug are cyprostat, androcur, daian, and others. 

Types of conditions repeatedly stated to respond favorably to treatment with psychedelics include chronic alcoholism, criminal psychopathy, sexual deviations and neuroses, depressive states (exclusive of endogenous depression), phobias, anxiety neuroses, compulsive syndromes, and puberty neuroses. In addition, psychedelics have been used with autistic children, to make them more responsive and to improve behavior and attitudes with terminal cancer patients, to ease both the physical pain and the anguish of dying and with... 

Cyproterone is used in high doses as an ANTICANCER agent for cancer of the prostate gland. It is also used in relatively moderate doses, for the treatment of precocious puberty in males, and for hypersexuality or sexual deviation in men (in whom the drug causes a condition of reversible sterility through a reduction in the production of sperm and a decrease in libido). It works by being a derivative of... 

The hippie and Sufi movements were also similar in their attitudes toward family and contemporary sexual morality. Both went to extremes, but in this case they went to opposite extremes. The hippies were accused of being promiscuous the Sufis, of being effeminate and homosexual. In both cases, however, cannabis was blamed for their sexual deviations. Marijuana, the critics of the twentieth century declared, caused hippies to become sex-crazed. Hashish, on the other hand, was accused of diminishing the libido, causing men to turn from women to other men. 

Indications Control of libido in severe hypersexuality and/or sexual deviation in the adult male. 

The change from a religious and moral to a social and medical conceptualization and control of personal conduct affects the entire discipline of psychiatry and allied fields. Perhaps nowhere is this transformation more evident than in the modern perspective on so-called sexual deviation, and especially on homosexuality. We shall therefore compare the concept of homosexuality as heresy,... 

Thus far, then, Boutilier had not been identified as a homosexual, in accordance with due process of law. However, he was foolish enough—at least from the point of view of gaining permanent admission to this country—to admit that he was a homosexual. In 1964, petitioner, at the request of the Government, submitted another affidavit which revealed die full history [sic] of his sexual deviate behavior. In this affidavit, Boutilier admitted that his first homosexual experience occurred when he was fourteen years old, and that between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one he had homosexual relations on an average of three or four times a year. Boutilier also stated that prior to his entry he had engaged in heterosexual relations on three or four occasions. ... 

In a 1951 decision, Mr. Justice Jackson expressed the opinion that deportation amounted to a criminal proceeding. He characterized it as a life sentence of exile and a savage penalty.

Sexual deviations and fetishes are also prominent in the secret service dossiers on Bond villains. Scaramanga is described as sexually abnormal, and his obsession with guns is a form of fetishism (Gun 33). Le Chiffre is described in his dossier as a flagellant (Royale 14), which seems to suggest that he enjoys being beaten. On the other hand, Le Chiffre apparently enjoys the other side of sexual torture considerably as well, as is evident in the carpet-beater scene, where he crosses the boundary between beaten and beater. 

The question of whether or not homosexuality is an illness k therefore a pseudo problem. If by disease we mean deviation from an anatomical or physiological norm—as in the case of a fractured leg or diabetes—then homosexuality is clearly not an illness. Still, it may be asked if there is a genetic predisposition to homosexuality, as there is to a stocky body build or is it entirely a learned pattern of behavior This question cannot be answered with assurance. At present, the evidence for such predisposition is slim, if any. The biologically oriented person may argue, however, that more evidence for it might be discovered in the future. Perhaps so. But even if homosexuals were proven to have certain sexual preferences because of their nature, rather than nurture, what would that prove People who are prematurely bald are sick, in a stricter sense of this... 

No doubt aware that such overtly fetishizing attitudes toward women could alienate a portion of the public. Binder relied heavily on ambiguous choreography for the titles of two key 1970s Bond films, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979). These sequences deviate from Thunderball s pattern of veiled adversarial relationships between Bond and his female companions, opting instead for a playful allegiance between Bond and the ubiquitous female silhouettes. This shift in choreographic form allows for a more liberated view of the women represented in the titles, but retains the sexually provocative quality of the earlier sequences.
