Because, the intersectionality of crime and sexual orientation is particularly fascinating, the prime objective of this blog is to discuss and research cases that focus on crimes committed by individuals or against individuals that identified as gay.
More specifically, I ask what maladaptive behaviors, ideas, and attitudes among gay men and gay culture increase the likely hood of victimization?Sadomasochism: the derivation of sexual gratification from infliction of physical pain or humiliation either on another person or on oneself.
Objectification: (1) the action of degrading someone to the status of a mere object.
Necrophilia: sexual intercourse with or attraction towards corpses.
Cannibalism: the act of consuming another individual of the same species as food.
