Gay male, lesbian, and transsexual networks/communities, and cultural practices often had their own differences that coincided with meshing similarities.

Abstract Paraphilia has evolved as a term generally referenced as sexually deviant behavior to a broader term and divided into a disorder by the DSM-5. Paraphilia’s are often misconstrued as sexually deviant behavior that is misunderstood by the general public. In this paper, I will attempt to have a better grasp of what a paraphilia is, how to treat paraphilia from a therapeutic standpoint and attempt to discern when a paraphilia may need additional referrals and/or treatment.

Lysistrata is a bawdy play written by the comic playwright from ancient Athens, Aristophanes. This age-old comedy details the quest of one Athenian woman’s crusade to put an end to the incessant Peloponnesian War. As a method of non-violent resistance, Lysistrata, along with other women who hail from Athens and other warring states, capitalize on their sexuality.

This can be dated back as far back as the thirteenth century, when the church disapproved of women actors but allowed males to disguise as the opposite sex.

Many theorists began by looking for the biological roots of sexual variations which in turn gave rise to a host of distinctions such as bisexuality, fetishism and transvestism (Weeks et at 2003 p2). Also, an increase in Western sexual science produced even more new sexual categories and orientations including pansexual, asexual and sapiosexual. In the past, sexuality was a hidden feature of society; it was difficult
Marianismo and machismo are the traditional gender roles in Latin America. Marianismo is the aspect of female gender roles while machismo is the aspect of male gender roles. The key belief of machismo is that men hold supremacy over women. For the most part these gender roles conform to traditional understanding of sexuality, masculinity, and femininity.
