There are pedosexuals who, even if the court forces them to go into treatment, do not pursue it or cannot pursue it.

For people who are desperate and searching, sexuality on the Internet offers an incredible release.

There are many options in a marriage. If the couple has been together for a certain amount of time and has a certain amount of liberalism or life experience, it could be the kind of relationship in which one partner ventures into the occasional affair, which is then forgiven. This only happens every 13 years on average, but it obviously does occur.

Most pornographic images are simply too repulsive.

Exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.

Some 95 percent of all sexual contact still occurs in permanent relationships. That's an impressive number.

I'm reminded of a female patient who was particularly aroused by the shape of her husband's shoulder. And this hint of perversion should ideally remain a secret for both partners.

Most young people seem to be behaving very intelligently: They look at things once in a while, but then they find it so idiotic and uncool that they just look away again. That is, provided they're not growing up in a family in which a drunk father is already watching pornos in the morning.

It's very important to approach pedophiles and pedosexuals and offer them therapy. It's been my experience that you can reach your objective with what I would call kind-hearted, informed and enlightened patients - in the sense that they don't lose their desire, but that they no longer have physical contact with children. That would be the goal.

The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century. The female sex was historically sexualized and required to have orgasms for the first time. Sexual deviants, particularly homosexuals, achieved partial emancipation.

Image
The things that could be derived from the sexual sphere - happiness, endless fun and the end of capitalism - were grossly overestimated. The symbolic overglorification was downright unbearable.

We are all potential murderers, and we are all potential rapists and abusers.

Fantasies have to remain dirty. Cleanliness, scrupulousness and rationality are poison for eroticism.

Sexuality is pushed back more and more and people try to replace what they've lost with other forms of excitement.

The sexual revolution of the 1960s was mostly a movement of young people. I felt that the so-called free relationships were overrated.

Key feature of sexual revolution is the large-scale publication and commercialization of details that were once secret. Sexuality has been trivialized. The interesting thing about this is that exaggerated portrayals apparently destroy desire more effectively than any repression.

The social problem is that we haven't come up with any alternative models. Our culture hasn't developed an ars erotica. Think, for example, of conditions in India or in Japanese culture and of how the erotic has been cultivated there. They're not as clinical and rabbit-like as we are.

Perhaps the couple got married at 25 and now they're 45 and this is an option. And if a couple is still together, or perhaps finds its way back together, I like to say that it's forever. They belong together, it's a good fit, it's the right pairing. It almost gives me goose bumps.

The traits of our sexual culture are still speechlessness, loneliness, violence and not enough desire and love.

When it comes to sexuality, people like to tell lies. It's only when it comes to money that they lie more.
