Sexual Deviance

Sexual deviance refers to behaviors, interests, or practices that deviate from societal norms regarding sexuality. These can include unconventional sexual preferences or activities that society may view as abnormal, inappropriate, or taboo. It's important to recognize that sexual deviance is understood within specific cultural contexts; what is considered deviant in one culture may be accepted in another. While some forms of sexual deviance can be harmless and consensual, others may involve non-consensual acts or harmful behaviors, which are legally and ethically significant. Understanding these distinctions is key to discussions about sexuality and psychology.
