- Title
CHAPTER 11: Tricky Sexual Differences: What Is Perversion?
- Authors
Airaksinen, Timo
- Abstract
The article presents the author's views on why the discriminatory terms "perversion" and "pervert" should not be used. It mentions Thomas Nagel's famous article "Sexual Perversion," which is a reprinted contribution to the philosophy of sexuality. Nagel explains the genesis of perversions based on developmental trauma. Freud does not identify and label perverted persons in such a simplistic manner as he admits that healthy persons may play with perverted desires.
