Dissexuality

The term dissexuality describes socially dysfunctional sexual behavior. This refers to actions that directly violate the integrity and individuality of another person through sexual assault. The term was coined in 1995 by Klaus Michael Beier , Institute for Sexology and Sexual Medicine at the Charité in Berlin, to delimit certain sexual behaviors and preferences. It enables socially dysfunctional sexual behavior to be identified, independently of any legal assessment.

Limitation of the term

definition

Dissexuality is a social failure expressed in sexual terms , which is understood as the failure of the (time and socio-culturally conditioned, thus changeable) average expectable partner interests. Dissexual acts directly violate another person's integrity and individuality through sexual assault. The perpetrator cannot assume the consent of the person concerned ( antisocial behavior ). The primary consideration of self-interest in the absence of responsibility for the physical and mental state of the person concerned is to be seen as the decisive criterion.

Demarcation

Sexual behavior does not necessarily have to correspond to sexual preference . For example, a man whose sexual orientation is geared towards adult women may seek sexual contact with pre-pubescent girls for a variety of reasons (e.g. as a substitute act). From a diagnostic point of view, the differentiation between disorders of sexual preference ( paraphilias ) and disorders of sexual behavior (dissexuality) is therefore of essential importance.

The possible criminal liability of dissexual acts is secondary here: a dissexual act does not have to be punishable. On the other hand, there are sexual acts that are punishable by law and are not dissexual. For example, masturbation in front of a sleeping woman is dissexual behavior, but not relevant under criminal law. In contrast, z. For example, consenting sexual contact between a physically early 13-year-old girl and her 19-year-old boyfriend is a criminal offense, but is not dissexual behavior.
