As perplexing as human sexuality can be, there is no preparing you for the idea of men violating animals for sexual pleasure. The recent news where eight men raped and tortured a pregnant goat in Haryana슬롯사이트™s Mewat district rattled anybody who has heard about it. The men were petty criminals who stole a local슬롯사이트™s seven-year-old pregnant goat from a local and took turns raping it. Medical reports say that the goat, who was 50-weeks pregnant, died of a brain haemorrhage.

At a time when there is considerable dissent gathering against the section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, the incident has made a case for retaining parts of the controversial law since invoking the 슬롯사이트œunnatural sex슬롯사이트� clause in the law helps bring these offenders to justice.

Paraphilia

Psychiatrist Dr Era Dutta says India presents a contrasting picture with respect to its treatment of animals. 슬롯사이트œOn one hand, Indian culture dictates that all forms of life should be respected and revered. And on the other hand, some of the worst instances of animal cruelty are also seen in the country,슬롯사이트� she adds.

Although a taboo topic, instances of human beings indulging in sexual practices with animals are not entirely uncommon in India. Videos of men sexually assaulting animals routinely do rounds on the internet. What슬롯사이트™s more? There슬롯사이트™s an entire category in porn dedicated to sex acts between humans and animals. Even religious mythology is rife with such stories (Leda and the Swan).

Dr Dutta calls it paraphilia, or an alternate sexual desires outside the usual hetero-homo patterns. 슬롯사이트œIt슬롯사이트™s a sexually deviant behaviour where the person is attracted to things outside the society슬롯사이트™s norms like children, animals or inanimate objects. That슬롯사이트™s when it becomes a disorder,슬롯사이트� she says.

Zoophilia and Beastiality

In psychological parlance, two terms 슬롯사이트� zoophilia and beastiality 슬롯사이트� are often used to describe such deviant behaviour. Zoophilia is a sexual attraction towards animals and bestiality is indulging in sexual intercourse with animals. However, the two may or may not be related. For example, those with zoophilic tendencies may not act on their impulses. Instead, they may explore their paraphilic tendencies through socially acceptable means, like role-playing. And someone who indulges in beastiality may do so because he or she may not have an alternative. This is portrayed in the 2005 movie Mathrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천where men turn to raping animals due to the shortage of women in the world.

Dr Dutta believes that the latter may be true in the Haryana episode since the sex ratio in state, until recently, happened to one of the worst in the country. 슬롯사이트œIt may not be a case of zoophilia because it is unlikely that all the offenders have the tendency,슬롯사이트� says the psychiatrist. 슬롯사이트œIt슬롯사이트™s rather a spontaneous crime (Opportunistic zoophilia) where the men who chanced upon the animal may have decided to assault it because the opportunity presented itself. It슬롯사이트™s likely they carried out the crime because they don슬롯사이트™t have the access to fulfil their sexual desire through socially-acceptable means슬롯사이트� she adds.

Zoophilic individuals have the tendency to develop romantic and emotional attachment towards animals. Conversely, Dr Dutta says, those who commit opportunistic beastiality may view these animals as just a means to an end, which explains why they torture and maim the creatures: 슬롯사이트œGratification for them is just physical. The rapists don슬롯사이트™t assign any kind of emotional value to the animals.슬롯사이트�

Do Zoophiliacs Pose슬롯 머신 사이트 추천A Risk To Their Society?

Animal rights activists are often up in arms against zoophilic rapists, claiming that such sexual deviants often end up hurting children and women. 슬롯사이트œBut it슬롯사이트™s hard to say,슬롯사이트� states Dr Dutta. 슬롯사이트œWhile the condition is in itself a sexual deviancy, there슬롯사이트™s no saying whether it슬롯사이트™s a precursor for paedophilia or other deviant behaviour,슬롯사이트� adds the doctor.

Risks of Beastiality슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

Zoophilic tendencies are reported in a stunning슬롯 머신 사이트 추천8.3슬롯 머신 사이트 추천percent to 4.9슬롯 머신 사이트 추천percent in male슬롯 머신 사이트 추천and 3.6슬롯 머신 사이트 추천percent to 1.9슬롯 머신 사이트 추천percent in female슬롯 머신 사이트 추천population. Apart from its mental health implications, beastiality can also pose health risks. Sexual contact with animals can result in major health problems, but unfortunately, the risks and burden of zoophilia슬롯 머신 사이트 추천go underreported. Sexual contact with animals can result in leptospirosis, fatal parasitic infections, rabies, urological disorders, penile cancer and even STDs.
