Salirophilia is defined as a "parphilic" sexual fetish in which individuals sexual arosal is obtained by basically getting really dirty -- in the literal sense. Individuals will use dirt, mud, or other soiling techniques to make the other person look dirty. This paraphilias does not involve any physical harm however, rather the only harm is done to the person's appearances. There are some reports where some deviations include the use of bodily fluids in some deviations. Treatment is only sought when this practice becomes problematic in some manner.

Part B

1) Watch and reflect on a movie containing material related to class topics: alternative sexual behaviors as covered in the chapters in your textbook. (Movie may be recently released or one on TV.) Submit a brief, written reflection on how any or all of the concepts were implemented within the story line of the movie. In your reflection discuss: What was the movie? To whom did it apply? What were the sexuality issues? Specifics?

Normal Adolescent Behavior

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790721/

This film is a drama that focuses on a young group of friends who engage in polyfidelitous, which is an arrangement where all of the individuals only have sexual relations within their own group. The teens in the movie believe that this is a better situation that what they otherwise could achieve on their own through conventional teenage dating. For example, with various partners the group's members can experiment freely in different arrangements without having to worry about disease or pregnancy to the same extent as they would otherwise. Although such an arrangement could potentially have merits, the group shows how the emotional aspects of these relationships take a toll on the group's cohesiveness.

Part C

2. Infertility. It is not uncommon in the U.S. today to remain "childless by choice." But people who want biological children and have been unable to conceive can feel as if the choice was not theirs to make. Although the causes of infertility are not fully understood, there are some social behaviors that are thought to contribute to making conception less likely. Search infertility, then discuss: A. Does research show that infertility is truly on the rise, or is it impossible to know? Explain your answer. B. Discuss the effect on fertility of each of the following: STDs; Age; Alcohol, drug use and smoking; Stress; Environmental factors.

The CDC offers some statistical evidence about the scope of the infertility in the U.S. on their website. These figures are broken down into two key categories. Some women are able to get pregnant, but have trouble carrying a child to full-term, while others have trouble getting pregnant altogether (7.5 million in the former, and 1 million in the later). By following the links you can find a list of various causes that are known to contribute to these conditions such as functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) which relates to excessive physical or emotional stress that results in amenorrhea (absent periods). However, there are several different conditions and it is difficult, if not impossible, to have accurate statistics about the prevalence of each.

3. The Rights of Mother and Fetus. Search mother and fetus. Find information on a legal case in which a mother is accused of harming her unborn child because of drug or alcohol use, smoking or other circumstances. Write a brief summary of the case. Include: A. What are the concerns for the fetus? B. What rights of the mother are at issue? C. What is your opinion about the intervention of medical or legal authorities in a woman's pregnancy? Who should determine when it is justified or necessary http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/05/pregnant_women_drugs_louisiana.html

There are some states that are now entering bills into their legislature that allow for the prosecution of women for the care of their body during pregnancy. For example, Long's bill proposed authorizing prosecution under homicide and battery statues of pregnant women or mothers whose babies had been killed, disabled or born addicted in Louisiana as a result of the mothers' illegal drug use while pregnant. There is already similar legislation in TN and at least one woman has already been prosecuted. Apparently the prosecutor will make the ultimate decision in these areas whether the conditions are sufficient for the courts to try to criminalize the mother.
