Psychological sexual behavior disorders are called psychosexual disorders. Here I will discuss three of the psychosexual disorders: exposure, rape, and psychosexual arrests.
Exhibitionism disorder is most commonly observed in men between the ages of 18-28. A man with exposure disease shows his erect penis to an oncoming woman on the road or in crowded places such as a train station, and engages in masturbation either during or immediately afterward. These people never attack women, and the more the other woman is shocked and reacts as a result of the exposure, the more they like it. What we know about the disease comes from interviews with exhibitionists caught by the police (Janda and Klenke-Hamel, 1980). The question "Do exhibitionists later become rapists?" has made psychologists think, and longitudinal studies on this subject have answered "No" to this question. These people never become aggressive. Different psychological approaches have searched for the cause of this disease in different factors. Psychoanalytic view. According to him, exhibitionism is a reaction to the fear of castration. Some psychologists say that exhibitionists do not have self-confidence as men and that they indirectly prove their masculinity through exhibitionism. Some learning psychologists state that in the person's past, sexual reward was only achieved by shocking others, so they seek the same kind of reinforcement by resorting to exhibitionism. No interpretation has been proven experimentally.
Rape is one of the serious problems of advanced industrial societies, especially the USA. In our country, rape is not a social problem. On the other hand, Janda and Klanke-Hamel (1980) ) They found that rape cases in the United States increased by 80% between 1968 and 1975. According to these authors, the real number of rapes in the USA is 5 times higher than police reports show, because most of the raped people do not want their names to be included in the police file. In 50% of the cases reported to the police, the man does not know the woman he raped, and in 10% of the cases, the woman is a family member. Most of the rape incidents were thought out and planned in advance. In very rare cases, it occurs as a result of a sudden impulse that cannot be controlled. Researchers divide people who commit rape into four categories:
(1) Aggressive Types: These people are people who hate women and express their hatred in the form of rape.
(2) Amoral Types:This People have a sociopathic personality structure and cannot go beyond seeing women as a sexual object; They have never understood responsibility for their own actions. They become prone to rape, especially under the influence of alcohol, and attack women they find sexually attractive, without feeling any other responsibility.
(3) Double Standard Types: These people are a bit racy. They find no harm in raping a woman who dresses and acts cheerfully. They act with the idea of "If she wasn't itchy, she wouldn't dress like that, she obviously wanted to" and bring their sexual assault to mind. When the raped woman comes to court, the most important point that the lawyers defending the defendant want to prove is that the woman "provoked and encouraged" the man. If they can prove this, rape assault will be considered a "normal" behavior. will appear.
(4) Types Trying to Prove Their Masculinity: Rada (1978) says that some men commit rape to prove their masculinity. Men who fall into this category are shy and shy and at the same time try to give the appearance of a "confident man" to others.
Psychosexual dysfunctions manifest themselves as coldness in women and inadequacy in men. Masters and Johnson (1970) are among the leading scientists who examined human sexual behavior in detail under controllable conditions in the laboratory. According to their research, normal sexual behavior consists of four stages:
(1) Sexual desires and dreams.
(2) Sexual excitement. At this stage, in addition to the feeling of pleasure, there are physical changes such as the hardening of the penis in men and the secretion of fluid in the vagina in women.
(3) Orgasm, in other words, the discharge of energy by reaching the highest point of sexual excitement.
(4) Rest, relaxation and relaxation after orgasm.
Psychosexual jam first It arises from inhibition occurring in one or more of three stages. As a result of inhibition, sexual behavior cannot complete its normal development. In women, inhibition manifests itself as the absence of fluid in the vagina and the absence of other genital changes that occur with sexual excitement. Some women cannot reach orgasm. In men, stiffness manifests itself in the inability to erect the penis or premature ejaculation. What factors underlie psychosexual arrest? Both Masters and Johnson (1970) and other authors (Janda and Klenke-Hamel, 1980) see performance anxiety as the basis of retardation in sexual behavior. The individual begins to doubt whether he or she can be effective in sexual intercourse, and doubt leads to anxiety. Anxiety inhibits one or more of the first three of the four stages mentioned above at certain points. The type of psychotherapy called cognitive behavioral approach, which attaches importance to people's expectations and perceptions, accepts that the thought that the individual repeats in his mind at this stage has a significant impact. Expressions about a person's self-consciousness bind that individual by creating a kind of vicious circle.
For example, if a man constantly keeps the thought in his mind, "If my penis does not become erect and I cannot have sexual intercourse, this woman will not see me as a man and will not want to meet me again." , this thought makes him more anxious over time and the man's penis cannot actually become erect. If similar thoughts pass through the woman's mind, her anxiety increases and the woman begins to show problems in her sexual relationship. The sexual problems of individuals often arise from the type of relationship they establish with their spouses. They constantly reflect their true personality and desires. A husband who has to hide his sexual desires and fantasies from his wife cannot tell her about his sexual desires and fantasies, because he thinks that his wife will find these desires and fantasies abnormal and will condemn him. The woman, on the other hand, thinks that her husband does not respect her at all, and that she is not in love and understanding, but merely as a sexual object for her husband. She thinks that she is being used for her own satisfaction and is afraid to tell her feelings to her husband. She thinks that her husband cannot understand such thoughts and feelings. This couple eventually encounters these problems, and these problems affect the relationship between the two. Problems will not disappear unless they are resolved. For this reason, sex therapy is considered as a part of general psychological therapy and covers every aspect of a person's life.
