Devaluation of the human love object: heterosexual rejection as a possible antecedent of fetishism: In: Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 89, No. 2, 1980, pp. 1295-1298; Abstract: "30 university men chose 1 of 6 women they would most like to date. Half of these men subsequently received feedback that their 1st choice did not choose them in return, and the remainder were informed that the women they chose reciprocally chose them as the men they would most like to date. This procedure was repeated, resulting in 2 successive rejections or acceptances for the respective groups. These 30 men, and an additional 15 who comprised a control group, then rated pictures of designs, lingerie, panties, women's feet, women's legs, and women on scales of pleasantness, sexual arousability, and acceptance. Rejected men evaluated pictures of women less positively than did other men, and they evaluated pictures of women less positively than they did pictures of women's legs and panties in contrast to other men whose ratings of these 3 pictures did not differ significantly. Implications for a 2-factor model of fetishism are discussed." (APA/PsycINFO)

A combination of orgasmic reconditioning and covert sensitization in the treatment of a fire fetish: In: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, Vol. 11, No. 4, 1980, pp. 291-296; Abstract: "Presents the case history of a 20-yr-old male whose fire-setting behavior associated with masturbation was his primary means of obtaining sexual gratification. Treatment included a new version of orgasmic reconditioning to increase heterosexual arousal and covert sensitization to decrease deviant arousal. Sexual arousal became greater for heterosexual than for fire stimuli. Masturbatory fantasies were reported to be exclusively heterosexual, and no further fire-setting incidents were reported. These changes were maintained at both 4- and 9-mo follow-ups." (APA/PsycINFO)

Anorexia, masochism, self-mutilation, and autoerotism: the spider mother: In: Psychoanalytic Review, Vol. 89, No. 1, 2002, pp. 101-123; Abstract: "In summary, both self-mutilators and eating-disordered individuals come from dysfunctional homes with a very controlling mother and usually absent father. They often have a history of trauma. They are depressed and obsessive, attached to their mothers, who discourage attempts at emancipation. The symptoms serve the purpose of keeping them as little girls with negative feelings toward menstruation, sexual maturity, development, and femininity in general. These symptoms comprise self-destructive behavior in the service of removing sexual thoughts, temptation, and activities. Favazza (1987) included both eating disorders and self mutilation in his 'deliberate self-harm syndrome.' The symptoms, whether they be anorexic, bulimic, or a form of self-mutilation are seen as 'autoerotic in nature and a substitute for normal masturbation' (Hull & Lane, 1988). Eating disorders and delicate self-mutilation are said to have 'a cathartic, self-purifying, function in that they modulate states of anxiety, sexual tension, anger or dissociated emptiness, and they bring about a tremendous quasi-physical sense of relief' (Cross, 1993, p. 50). These patients' use of substitutes prevents maturation and growth as women, causing regression to pregenital phases with the use of pregenital defenses, and the demise of the demands of puberty and mature sexuality."

Beschmutzung und Beschädigung von Kinderwagen: Fetischistische Regression ins Frühkindliche mit neurotischer Aggression
(Soiling of and causing damage to perambulators: A fetishistic return to early childhood accompanied by neurotic aggression): In: Psychiatrie, Neurologie und Medizinische Psychologie, Vol. 41, No. 8, 1989, pp. 505-506; Language: German with English and Russian abstracts; Abstract: "Presents findings from a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation of a 26-yr-old man with developmental retardation who obtained sexual gratification by defecating in and subsequently damaging unoccupied baby carriages. These behaviors followed a breakdown in the S's marital intimacy and the rejection by the S's wife of his wish to adopt a child. A psychoanalytic interpretation of this case is presented, and the determination of diminished responsibility on the grounds of pathological personality development is noted." (APA/PsycINFO)

The development of the clothes-slitting fetish and its sexual motivation are described." (APA/PsycINFO)

Some overlapping features are found, but also important differences, and the empirical evidence for various theories is reviewed."

Aspects concerning the development and therapy of sexual deviant patterns in children: In: Nordisk Sexologi, Vol. 12, No. 2, 1994, pp. 105-110; Abstract: "Presents a case study illustrating how children can develop some forms of paraphiliac behavior with a strong sexual component, similar to what is seen in adolescents and adults. Fetishistic and sadomasochistic behavior can develop before the age at which children begin masturbating to orgasm. A striking finding in this case study was the strong negative feelings associated with normal expressions of sexuality." (APA/PsycINFO)

Multiplex versus multiple taxonomy of paraphilia: Case example: In: Sexual Abuse: Journal of Research and Treatment, Vol. 15, No. 1, 2003, pp. 61-72; Abstract: "Several different paraphilias are presently diagnosed in some individuals whereas a more parsimonious taxonomy would be that of one multiplex paraphilia. A multiplex paraphilia may be expressed by variations of content at different times in an individual's life or in different situations. The present case example shows the unfolding of a multiplex paraphilia over a man's lifetime. At age 7 the subject was dressed in public as a girl wearing a diaper as a humiliation for bed-wetting. This experience had 3 paraphilic components that were separately manifested at different times in his life: fetishistic transvestism, pedophilic incest, and infantilism. A multiplex paraphilia taxonomy may lead to improved identification of etiology, prognosis, and treatment of paraphilia."

On Masochism: A Contribution to the History of a Phantasy and Its Theory: In: Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1975, pp. 277-324; Abstract: "Explains the psychology of male masochism through a detailed analysis of 'Venus in Furs' and other writings by Sacher-Masoch. The genesis of masochism in the oedipal conflict is investigated and shown to be related to a variety of sexual phenomena, including fetishism, transvestism, and latent homosexuality. The theme of women's superiority over men and its counterpart are seen as collective, obsessive preoccupations of German society from the latter part of the 19th century to the 1930s. During that period there was an unusual amount of writing on the topics of women, sexuality, criminality, and sexual perversions, ranging from pornographic materials to scientific treatises. It is suggested that preoccupation with these themes stemmed from disturbances of the processes leading to the establishment of individual male identities." (APA/PsycINFO)

(Sadomasochism and dreams in the background of Kafka's poetry): In: Psychiatrie, Neurologie und medizinische Psychologie, Vol. 38, No. 6, 1986, pp. 315-323; Language: German; Abstract: "Kafka's detailed descriptions of individuals being physically and psychically tortured can only be understood when accepting a sado-masochistic background. On the other hand, the discrepancies and absurdities, appearing again and again in his poetic products, are due to his habit of taking dream and its illogical connections as a model. The specific feature of dream with its central and peripheral phenomena is often identifiable in Kafka's descriptions. Whether he intended to present symbols is uncertain."

Unusual Sexual Behavior. The Standard Deviations.: Publisher: Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Ill.; Abstract: "The purpose of this book is to review the literature on sexual deviations. I have adopted a classification of sexual deviations that proposes three kinds of deviant behavior: 1. Variation in mode, 2. Variation in object, and 3. Variation in strength of the sexual response. Since transvestism and transsexualism do not fit into any of the three categories they are discussed separately."

The S, who had been abnormally slow to develop, was rejected by his mother and desired to flee the family. He developed fantasies and fetishes as a means of soothing his sense of isolation."

The Myth of Sexual Compulsivity: In: The Journal of Sex Research, Vol. 25, No. 3, 1988, pp. 347-363; Abstract: "This paper analyzes critically the newly discovered 'conditions' of sexual addiction and sexual compulsion from the sociological perspective of symbolic interactionism. (...) We demonstrate that the definitions are conceptually flawed and that the criteria for these 'conditions' are subjective and value laden. There is nothing inherently pathological in the conduct that is labeled sexually compulsive or addictive. Rather than referring to actual clinical entities, sexual addiction and compulsion refer to learned patterns of behavior that are stigmatized by dominant institutions."; Archived at: Magnus Hirschfeld Archive for Sexology, Berlin

The Prevalence and Some Attributes of Females in the Sadomasochistic Subculture: A Second Report: In: Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 23, No. 4, 1994, pp. 465-473; Abstract: "Nonprostitute women in the sadomasochism (S/M) subculture have been believed to be rare. A sample of 45 women from the S/M subculture of whom 34 were determined to be nonprostitutes was obtained. This sample is compared with a similar sample obtained by Breslow et al. (1985). Despite methodological differences between the present investigation and that of Breslow et al., interstudy similarities permit conclusions about women in the S/M subculture in addition to the fact that they occur with sufficient frequency to study. The women become aware of their orientation as young adults and most are satisfied with it. They tend to be better educated and less often married than the general population. A majority designate themselves as heterosexual but a substantial minority are bisexual. They tend more often to prefer the submissive role but preference for the dominant role or no preference are found with considerable frequency. Oral sex and bondage are favored activities."; Archived at: Magnus Hirschfeld Archive for Sexology, Berlin; Recommended reading

Bondage and Suicide: In: Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol. 27, 1972, pp. 80-85; Abstract: "'Bondage' is a well-established category of deviant sexual behavior. It includes practices for erotic pleasure of being humiliated, enslaved, and physically bound and restrained. Life is threatened when, as is common, neck binding or partial asphyxiation forms part of the behavior. In the United States there are yearly about 50 such deaths, sometimes suicide, usually by accident. We report two fatal cases rich in detail provided by the now deceased. In addition, we interviewed nine men and three women who responded to a notice in the underground press. Subjects were diverse in character and varied in the details of their bondage behavior. All of the men were isolated, depressed, and oriented toward death. Their masochism was first a challenge, then an invitation to death. When they see psychiatrists (for depression), the sexual problems are minimized."

Sexual Sadism and Masochism: in: Diamant, Louis / McAnulty, Richard (ed.): The Psychology of Sexual Orientation, Behavior, and Identity, pp. 256-269; Publisher: Greenwood Press, Westport; Abstract: Judging from the references, the authors seem to have read a lot on rape and not very much on consensual sadomasochism. From the conclusion: "Contrary to prior belief, the sadomasochistic subculture does not comprise a limited number of male homosexuals whose behavior often escalates to dangerous and violent acts. Research has shown that sadomasochism typically involves mutually consenting homosexual and heterosexual males and females who engage in activity that is safe and pleasurable for both partners.
Our current DSM-IV classification does not appear to cover the breadth of sadistic and masochistic practices and cases of 'sadism' that are evidenced in the literature. (...) Future research endeavors should continue to identify characteristics of individuals who engage in activities of a sadistic or masochistic nature. More specifically, delineations of types of sadists, masochists, and a perhaps subclinical subculture of sadomasochists need to be made for correct classification and subsequent study of these individuals. By improving our ability to classify individuals into specific subgroups (such as sexually coercive women, subtypes of rapists, sexually sadistic murderers), appropriate assessment, prevention, and intervention will be possible."

Pantyhose fetishism and self cohesion: A paraphilic solution?: In: Gender and Psychoanalysis, Vol. 2, No. 1, 1997, pp. 103-121; Abstract: "In this paper, pantyhose fetishism is presented and highlighted by clinical vignettes from males across the life cycle. Fetishism is explored from a number of diverse perspectives, including classical psychoanalysis, ego psychology, object relations theory, child developmental psychology, and self psychology. It is suggested that the wearing of pantyhose by males serves a range of functions, including but not limited to repairing psychic structure, an expression and defense against underlying aggression, enabling the development of symbol formation, allaying annihilation and separation anxiety, acting as a type of transitional object in terms of serving as a "second skin" component, soothing primitive anxieties related to the damaged body ego, and serving an erotic function involving desire and excitement. The function of pantyhose as a kind of "magic skin" or "second skin" suggests a relationship between perverse symptom formation and the development of a "skin ego." Implications for the symbolizing function of this "magic or second skin" as a bridge to the mother figure is discussed in terms of theoretical and treatment issues. The functional use of pantyhose is viewed as a creative solution to a seemingly unresolvable interpersonal-intrapsychic dilemma."

The paper reviews early and recent research regarding fetishes and explores behaviors often associated with fetishes. In addition, various types of fetishes are examined, including a number of fetishes that are unique to people with disabilities. An empirical investigation was conducted with 20 males (aged 18-47 yrs) to explore the nature of fetishes. Finally, coming from a psychoanalytical perspective, a number of treatment approaches are reviewed and discussed."

Imaginary sexual partner: In: Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol. 3, 1960, pp. 429-449; Abstract: "Masturbation is normal in children, young adults, and in adults in the absence of a sexual partner. It is frequently accompanied by fantasies which represent a wish-fulfillment. These fantasies differ mainly in duration from those of imaginary companions frequently found in single and lonely children and from erotic daydreams. The nature of the imaginary sexual partner (sex, animal, fetish) and of the imagined sexual scene (normal, perverse, sadistic) corresponds to the sexual preference of the masturbator as illustrated by 20 cases. Masturbation, visual masturbatory fantasies, and psychiatric illness seem unrelated." (APA/PsycINFO)

It is suggested that the fetish is a fixation for an object that has usurped the erotic aspect of the genital region of the opposite sex, implying a displacement of emotional investment. It is also argued that a true fetish is based on the representation of an unconscious idea rather than an instrumental object, but that many objects with unconscious sexual meanings do not represent fetishes."

(The deviations of desire: A study of fetishism: II.

Several characteristics of the male fetishist are identified: an overwhelming identification with the mother figure, a tendency toward depression, a disposition toward homosexuality, hostility, separation anxiety and a desire to return to the mother, self-delusions, and a body fixation in which the fetish is necessary to physical well-being or a form of physical penance. These factors lead the fetishist into a state of semi-delirium, and the fetish becomes a protective device against further fragmentation of his personality. Sexuality and uncertainty play an overwhelming role in the fetishistic personality." (APA/PsycINFO)
