Study: Sadism more common than people think
"College students told to exterminate bugs showed "acts of apparent cruelty" and "everyday sadism," said researchers
People who enjoy being cruel are scarily prevalent, new research says.
There may be more sadists lurking in our midst than we’d like to think, according to a new study from the University of British Columbia and the University of Texas at El Paso. After offering a group of college students the chance to play exterminator and kill live bugs, researchers found “acts of apparent cruelty” and evidence of “everyday sadism”-a less pathological variety of deriving pleasure from being cruel."

Sexual deviancy is normal
"Even in extreme cases, there’s “some tension” about whether sadism indicates mental illness. Not for the squeamish."

How To Diagnose A Sex Deviant?
"To make any real moral traction, we must abandon the rhetoric of righteousness and instead turn our efforts to clarifying, using science rather than scripture, laws, or even (and especially) our own gut feelings, how a sexual act or orientation is harmful to those involved. In my book, at least, doing harm is the only thing that makes a person a pervert."

What Is Truly Perverted?
"Over the 18 long months in which it was in production, Perv therefore evolved from being a light scientific treatment of weird sex to a book with an actual moral message. And that message turned out to be embarrassingly obvious, really. As a society, we’ve been dawdling over the irrelevant questions of what’s “normal” and “natural” for far too long."

We’re All Perverts
"Deviant sex, almost by definition, is bound to gross out more people than normal sex—but disgust doesn’t justify hatred.
The following is an excerpt from PERV: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us by Jesse Bering, published October 8, 2013.
You are a sexual deviant. A pervert, through and through."

So, You See, There Is No Causal Connection - It Is Later Social Conditioning - Thank You
Age of Consent
"Psychologist Jesse Bering on What the Law Says Versus What the Science Says
A 6-year-old child may subjectively experience little, if any, harm at the time of being molested by an adult, but that doesn't mean significant damage [sic] hasn't been done. As the child grows older, his or her interpretation of the experience on coming to understand what really [sic] happened may become increasingly traumatizing [sic]. One [poetic and simplistic] way to think about it is that the sexually abused child has essentially been implanted with a psychological time bomb that may or may not go off down the road. There's a marginal [sic] chance that it won't detonate at all, but if it does, it's often [sic] catastrophic [sic]. This can also be the case with teens (many of us have regrets about being taken advantage of when we were young and naive, sexually or otherwise [such is life]), but for a 16-year-old who has hormonally fueled desires that are just as intense as those of the adult he's having an encounter with, it's a very different can of emotional worms."
