CRITICAL REVIEW ON PARAPHILIA: AN AYURVEDIC APPROACH
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Paraphilia or pervasions are disorders of sexual stimuli deviated from normal sexuality having multi-factorial aetiologies. Often precipitate divergent behaviour involving aggression, victimization, and extreme one-sidedness. In this era of rapid demographic transition a large proportion of population has been victimized by persons with paraphilic impression prevailing around 59% globally. Unlike neurotic symptoms, paraphilic fantasies are obligatory to erotic arousal and may figuratively be ego-syntonic. Ayurveda emphasises that the responsiveness of impulse or stimuli is inevitably related to one’s governing Kaya (personality). A slightest change in emotional perseverance (Mano-vishaya), unambiguously results in the act of sexual aggressiveness which is solely due to perverted Chitta (psyche). This slightest deviance which may alter the codes of conduct (Sadvrutta) can primarily result in a state of mind which is unable to distinguish the favourable and unfavourable objects of perception. A marked deviance from the normalcy of Mano Dosha (psychic humours), fallacious imbibition over Mano Artha and Vishaya (objects of psychic perception) are conceptualized to be an outcome for paraphilic aggression.
