Money’s “Lovemap” Account of the Paraphilias: A Critique and Reformulation
Abstract
In this paper, (a) Money’s recent “Lovemap” account of the intelligibility of paraphilic sexual rituals is outlined; (b) his contention that such acts may be viewed as “triumphs” of a certain sort is criticized as incomplete; and (c) an alternate formulation of paraphilic acts as insistent, preemptively motivated, but ultimately unsuccessful attempts at recovery from sexual degradation is proffered.
