Recently, numerous discussions and debates have addressed the issue of ?moral perversions? in both the public and private sphere. Perversions have often been in the news; they include serious scandals linked to paedophilia and sexual tourI'm, the fad of partner-swapping, and the influence of S&M and fetishI'm on advertising and fashion. Rather than feeling shocked or fascinated, it would be wiser to examine the situation more closely, beginning with the meaning of the word ?perversion?, as it has been defined by specialists for more than two centuries. What is perversion really about? What does a pervert seek? The following are considered to be the main types of sexual perversions: sadI'm, masochI'm, exhibitionI'm, voyeurI'm, fetishI'm, transvestI'm, paedophilia, and even, by some, homosexuality. Narcissistic perversions, moral sado-masochI'm, cynicI'm, moral transvestI'm, moral fetishI'm, group phenomena: not all perversions are sexual. The world of perversions is not only a ?mirror? world of physical pleasure, it also serves as a mechanI'm of power in a relationship which the pervert uses to impose his/her rule on another, by denying his/her existence. Does the pervert seek pleasure or power?Alberto Eiguer is a psychoanalyst specialising in family therapy.
