Stephanie Lykes - Dark Places of Desire: Understanding Paraphilia (Pt. 1 of 3: The Sweetest Taboos)

Today we speak with a sexologist to guide our effort to understand the human psyche, where we first probe the dark aspects and how they manifest in sexuality. Some of the issues explored: What's the 4 levels of sex? How to define paraphilia? What are the causes to them? What are the common kinks & fetishes? How to distingusih between pathology & healthy? What makes something taboo? Nature or nurture? What triggers attraction? Can sexuality be healing? What's normal? Where's the limit? What role has trauma, shame, power, & control in sex? What's the common male & female fantasies? And hear why Fifty Shades of Grey is a terrible movie...
