quote: ORIGINAL: losttreasure Has anyone read "Psychopathia Sexualis" or studied Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing? While I understand his work mirrored the mores of his time and from what I've read, I don't subscribe to much of his theories, I did find it interesting that he did not consider masochistic behavior to be a perversion for women. I also found it interesting to see that a film had been made based on some of his research. Psychopathia Sexualis It looks to have had a limited release... has anyone seen it? Edited for formatting problems (This is actually way too complicated for me...are there lesbian clowns involved?)

Juliette...I think not only about past victims; but of the spiraling string of victims yet to be raped. I feel for the families of the perpetrators as many have no inkling of his behaviors until after the fact. All one need do is watch any of those catch the perv. sting on TV. They are more than a moth to the flame...they have the focus and behavior more like a salmon swimming to spawn. It is not a hobby, not an interest, not a need...it becomes an unquenchable thirst.

Since I couldn't shoot them...I did use a more subtle form of punishment. I tended to eat gas producing foods the night before and had them in small closed rooms for group therapy. Death in small gasps.

Still enjoy taking his money, though. John

They are more than a moth to the flame...they have the focus and behavior more like a salmon swimming to spawn. It is not a hobby, not an interest, not a need...it becomes an unquenchable thirst. I know. I respect a parent's horror. I'm right there - especially when I sit back and realize all the young girls he came in contact with and think, "what if it'd been MY daughter.." And then I think... how would I feel if he were my son? I don't think anyone's come up with the specific genus of such behaviors, so even though I've been a good mother, just how would I feel if that were my son? Would I be so willing to gloat that he was raped in prison? Would I be so all-fired anxious to consider euthenesia? There's lots of damage all down the line on both sides of the coin. I'm not trivializing any one person or family's trauma. I am however trying to remember that the perpetrators are human beings with families and loved ones that are affected not only by their actions, but also by what happens to them.. Therein lies my conflict when I realize I am displaying a decided lack of compassion for ANYONE'S problems in situations such as this - and especially when people start talking about euthenesia. I know that when this crime has touched your family, you want to just kill the person responsible - many times over and very slowly. But to sit back and logically discuss the merits of ending a life...it's not something I do glibly. And while I feel tremendously for the loss your daughter and your family has suffered, I do think that it's a significant conflict of interest when you are employed under the guise of offering treatment to the people you feel should just die. juliet

Hi Mons Psychopathia Sexualis was one of the first books and sources of information I got - back in the days before the internet! So much easier nowadays! E
