Sexuoerotic body image fixation
|
|
Sexuoerotic body image fixation A disorder of the solicitational and allurative stratagem. The personal and private recognition of the locations and functions of the sexuoerotic organs or regions of one's body upon which is superimposed in a highly idiosyncratic and nonconfirmable way a retrospective projection of how they are in the process of undergoing change, or should be changed. A sexuoerotic body image fixation may be benign as, for example, to have sexually significant body parts ornamentally tattooed or pierced; or it may be not benign, as for example to become a eunuch by genital self-amputation, of which the fortuitous outcome may be to bleed to death.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Sexuoerotic
The sexual and the erotic experienced as a unity, with more emphasis on sexual behavior than erotic imagery.
Idiosyncratic
Pertaining to one's individual and sujectively personal ideation, cognitions, affect, tastes, attitudes, habits and behaviors. As in fingerprints, irises, and DNA coding (except in identical twins) the term pertains to one's individuality in any specific measurable factor. Compare to phyletic.
Projection
A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, in which what is emotionally unacceptable in the self is unconsciously rejected and attributed (projected) to others.
Fixation
Alignment of the eyes so that the image of the fixated target falls on the area centralis. For animals with immobile eyes the alignment of the head towards the fixated target.
Benign
Non-malignant; not life-threatening.
Genital
Having to do with the sex organs.
Death
1. The end of life. The cessation of life. (These common definitions of death ultimately depend upon the definition of life, upon which there is no consensus.) 2. The permanent cessation of all vital bodily functions. (This definition depends upon the definition of "vital bodily functions.") See: Vital bodily functions. 3. The common law standard for determining death is the cessation of all vital functions, traditionally demonstrated by "an absence of spontaneous respiratory and cardiac functions." 4. The uniform determination of death.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Sexual
Pertaining to sex or, more particularly, the stimulation, responsiveness, and functions of the sex organs either alone or with one or more partners.
Sexual addiction
Compulsively frequent reiteration of highly ritualized usage of the sex organs, under conditions of extreme specificity. The addiction is not to sex, generically, but to a particular animate or inanimate sexuoerotic stimulus, or type of stimulus, that is incorporated into the ritual activity. The activity itself may or may not qualify as paraphilic. The analogue of sexual addiction to a given stimulus is drinking addiction to alcohol, from which the concept derives.
Sexual drive
The personal and subjective desire or feeling of readiness to have an erotosexual experience. It cannot be measured directly.
Sexual health
The specific set of health matters and issues related to sex and sexuality.
Sexual intercourse
Sexual intercourse refers to the act of inserting the erect penis of the male into the vagina of the female for reproduction and also for sexual enjoyment.
Sexual rehearsal play
Motions and positions observable in human and other primate infantile and juvenile play, such as pelvic thrusting and presenting, and coital positioning, that are components of, and prerequisites to healthy sexuoerotic maturity in human and other primates.
Sexuality
The personal experience and manifest expression of one's status as male or female, especially as it relates to the genital organs, pair-bondedness, and reproduction.
Sexually dimorphic nucleus
In the preoptic area or region of the hypothalamus, a group of cells so named because it is smaller in females than males.
Sexually transmitted disease
Also called venereal disease or VD (an older public health term). Sexually transmitted diseases are infections spread by the transfer of organisms from person to person during sexual contact. In addition to the "traditional" STDs (syphilis and gonorrhea), the spectrum of STDs now includes HIV infection, which causes AIDS; Chlamydia trachomatis infections; human papilloma virus (HPV) infection; genital herpes; chancroid; genital mycoplasmas; hepatitis B; trichomoniasis; enteric infections; and ectoparasitic diseases (ie, diseases caused by organisms that live on the outside of the host's body).
Sexually transmitted diseases
Diseases communicable by sexual relations, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, HIV, hepatitis B, and human papillomavirus (HPV).

Social distancing
Absence of sociable approach or response to other people that is phobic rather than depressive, catatonic, or autistic aloneness.
Sodomy
Legally defined term variously applied to zoophilia, and to mouth-genital or anal-genital contact between human beings, especially males. It is not a paraphilia
Solicitational paraphilia
One of a group of paraphilias characterized by triumph wrested developmentally from sexuoerotic tragedy by means of a strategy that incorporates lust into the lovemap on the condition that an invitatory act belonging to the preliminary or proceptive phase be substituted for the copulatory act of the central or acceptive phase, thus ensuring that saintly love be not defiled by sinful lust.
Somatic
Pertaining to the cells and structures of the body, and their function.
