Download or read book Lovemaps written by John Money and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word "lovemap" was first used by Dr. John Money in lectures at Johns Hopkins University in 1980 to symbolize "the neutral template expressed in every individual''s sexuoerotic fantasies and practices." The word connotes our often subconscious pattern of erotic yearnings and desire. Each of us has a distinctive lovemap, as different and individual as a fingerprint.In this book, Dr. Money outlines healthy lovemap development as well as lovemap pathology - lovemaps gone awry. Such pathology falls into three categories: hypophilia (sexual dysfunction, such as impotence), hyperphilia (erotomania), and paraphilia (perversions). Paraphilia, another term coined by Money (from the Latin para - away from what is expected, and philia - love) can range from "those that are playful and harmless to those that are bizarre and deadly."Presenting case histories, Lovemaps describes the sexual practices of several patients and subsequent treatments of their paraphilias. Money pioneered the application of the hormone MPA, or Depo-Provera, to treat repeat sex criminals. He believes he has proved that science can prevent paraphilic sex offending, as is the case for other, physiological diseases.Lovemaps and its stirring accounts of lovemap pathology in case histories, (which are indexed under "paraphilia"), can be invaluable tools for those in the fields of sexology, child psychology, clinical psychology, criminology and, with its comprehensive glossary, the general reader - in short, anyone interested in human sexual development.

Download or read book Gay Straight and In Between written by John Money and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-05-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diverse historical, cultural, and physiological influences that determine sexual orientation are the focus of this fascinating work by one of the foremost investigators of human sexuality. Drawing on case studies from his sexology clinic, the author explores such topics as prenatal and postnatal history, gender differentiation in childhood, and postpubertal hormonal theories. In so doing, he addresses the many enigmas of sexual orientation: What makes some children grow up to be homosexual, while others become heterosexual or bisexual? To what degree is gender identity determined before birth? How do the concepts of masculine and feminine become differentiated during childhood? What do we know about the relationship between hormones and homosexuality in adulthood? A unique feature of this book is the follow-up reporting on Money's long-term studies that began over three decades ago. The studies are brought together here for comparison with one another--and with the work of others--and their full significance is systematically evaluated. Also explored here is his pioneering concepts of lovemaps, the pathways of individual sexual and erotic development, and the factors that may shape overall healthy or pathological orientation, paraphilia, and gender transposition in childhood, adolescence, and maturity. Written in accessible language for researchers and clinicians, this authoritative work is both thought-provoking and informative as it explores timely questions of sexual orientation.
Download or read book Vandalized Lovemaps written by John Money and published by New Concepts in Sexuality. This book was released on 1989 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the criminal justice system they are termed perverted. On the streets they are called kinky. The attitude toward people who practice aberrant sexual activity is almost always molded by prejudice or fear. Even after Alfred Kinsey's research ascertained the statistical prevalence of variant sexual activity in the population at large, the scientific establishment - and the public - have been slow to accept the study of "unacceptable" eroticism. Dr. Money, who coined the word "lovemap" a decade ago, defines a lovemap as our subconscious pattern of erotic yearnings and desire. Each of us has a distinctive lovemap, as different and individual as a fingerprint. "Vandalized" lovemaps are those that have gone awry during development, becoming paraphilic - literally, "away from what is expected in love." Paraphilia manifests itself in behavior that is, according to the ideological criterion of everyday orthodoxy, unorthodox. Vandalized Lovemaps is the first study of its kind, for it is a study of paraphilic development which is not retrospective, as is usually the case, but prospective. In seven cases, John Money and Margaret Lamacz record, from childhood onward, factors in the evolution of a paraphilic lovemap, studying biographical background, practices and subsequent treatments.

This is accepted as a religious act. I bend over and kiss that same penis, and I am arrested as a child sexual abuser. Can you explain that to me? (Berlin, 2000)"--

Download or read book Mapping Society written by Laura Vaughan and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a rare map of yellow fever in eighteenth-century New York, to Charles Booth’s famous maps of poverty in nineteenth-century London, an Italian racial zoning map of early twentieth-century Asmara, to a map of wealth disparities in the banlieues of twenty-first-century Paris, Mapping Society traces the evolution of social cartography over the past two centuries. In this richly illustrated book, Laura Vaughan examines maps of ethnic or religious difference, poverty, and health inequalities, demonstrating how they not only serve as historical records of social enquiry, but also constitute inscriptions of social patterns that have been etched deeply on the surface of cities. The book covers themes such as the use of visual rhetoric to change public opinion, the evolution of sociology as an academic practice, changing attitudes to physical disorder, and the complexity of segregation as an urban phenomenon. While the focus is on historical maps, the narrative carries the discussion of the spatial dimensions of social cartography forward to the present day, showing how disciplines such as public health, crime science, and urban planning, chart spatial data in their current practice. Containing examples of space syntax analysis alongside full colour maps and photographs, this volume will appeal to all those interested in the long-term forces that shape how people live in cities.
Download or read book A First Person History of Pediatric Psychoendocrinology written by John Money and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-10-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Money's career constitutes the foundation of pediatric psychoendocrinology. In this book he takes a second look at his publications on many different psychoendocrine syndromes, intersexual or hermaphroditic, with respect to sex, gender, amative orientation, and the "lovemap", (his own designation from an individual's experience of sexuality). His ultimate conclusion is that, from prenatal life onward, demasculization of development is not synonymous with feminization, nor is defeminization synonymous with masculinization. This volume will serve to illuminate the evolution of Dr. Money's work and point the way to future investigations in this field.

Download or read book Sex Psychology and ABDLs Nappy Version written by Dylan Lewis and published by AB Discovery. This book was released on 2024-04-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dylan Lewis delivers yet another stunning psychology book about the nature of Adult Babies Sex. One of the most mysterious words in the entire English language. And in any language, sex remains that mysterious aspect of life that we all want, enjoy, fear and misunderstand. Its power is enormous, able to move powerful men and women sometimes with a mere surge of hormones. It is both the cement of relationships and the destroyer of lives. We all feel it. We all desire it and yet, we understand it poorly. We can disrespect and misuse it. We can allow endless masses of porn to destroy the truth of sexual intimacy. And if that wasn’t a big enough morass of confusion mixed with delight, you add the complication of being adult babies into the mix… and understanding is even further away. Being an adult baby is both deeply confusing and at times overpowering - all in its own right. We do not need the additional layer of confusion that sexuality brings to it. But it is here just the same, regardless of how we feel about it. Believing that you are - in a subjectively real way - still in part, a baby is at odds with the post-pubescent experience of sexual arousal, engagement and climax. How can we be babies and toddlers and still be fully sexual beings? And how do we combine the two without torturing ourselves by the fear of being inappropriate? Many have asked that question and struggled with the dual aspects of who we are – adult and infant. Dylan Lewis begins a deep and detailed analysis of sex and adult babies. He answers some of the complex and confusing aspects of sexual behaviour we experience while still wearing diapers, baby clothes and sucking a dummy. This book has the power to answer academic questions but also to relieve us of the burdens and fears that our dual natures often impose on us. Read and discover the truth of being a sexual being AND an Adult Baby.
