Do you ever worry if what floats your boat sexually might be a little unusual? Or even downright bizarre?
If so, a new study claims to set everything straight - and define the demure from the deviant.
It's conclusion? Men hoping for sex with two women is 'normal' - for women, the general theme is more 50 Shades of Grey.
These
were just two of the findings of a research project that claims to
scientifically define sexual deviation for the first time ever.
Conducted in Montreal, Canada, the research was published today in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The idea behind the research was that while 'deviant sexual fantasises' often conjure up images of being very unusual,
In
a press statement, the authors said: 'Many theories about deviant
sexual fantasies incorporate the concept of atypical fantasies, or
paraphilias.'
Paraphilia is defined as the the experience of intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, situations, or individuals.
However the authors argue that 'scientific literature does not describe what these types of fantasies actually are'.
In
the U.S., the psychiatric bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), mentions, 'anomalous' fantasies.
Even the World Health Organisation talks about 'unusual' fantasies in defining paraphilias.
But, the Canadian study authors questioned, what is an unusual sexual fantasy exactly?
