Question # 1. Pick two of the behaviors discussed in Chapter 16 of the text that you were unfamiliar with or have an interest in discussing further. What is the term/behavior? What did you learn? What opportunities/challenges do you see in working with a client who engages in this behavior?
Fetishism is one of the varieties of Noncoercive Paraphilias. It is sexual behavior in which an individual obtains sexual pleasure primarily or exclusively from one specific part of a body. There are many challenges that one would face working with someone who is a fetish. The first and foremost challenge is Uncomforatability. A fetish will not look you in the eye while making a conversation. Instead, he will be looking at one specific part of your body, and that will make you uncomfortable which will create difficulties in communicating work to him. If he is a valuable client of my company it does not matter whatever I am going to make, he may try to exploit me by asking for any favor from me which will give him pleasure. Most of people having this order most of the time think about sexual desire (Crooks & Baur, 2017).
Zoophilia is another sexual behavior in which humans do sexual activities with animals. If this type of person is a client of my business. Uncomfortability will be the first challenge I would face. Another problem for me would be having conversations with this type of client, the sound he or she would make will cause comfortability in talking to him or her. Safety and security of myself will be another challenge because they haven’t found any opposite-sex partner that caused or them to have sex with the animal. Mostly the people who engage in these behaviors are often those who did not find an opposite-sex partner. Most of the animals involved in these activities are pet animals like dogs, cats, and horses (Killermann, 2017).
