They are definitions whether we know them or not and believe it or not but there are such people out there. It’s where these definitions are derived from that make such a difference and to think that the greeks came up with that kind of word “Paedophile” not only makes me sick but makes you think twice about their culture and their own origination. The word “Greek” comes from the word Greco which means in Egyptian thief.
Nobert, you always come up trumps in your articles.

I don’t mean to offend anyone either, but the eccentricity of it and their language will freak you out if you understand it.
Anna Ski | Jun 24, 2008 | Reply
A pure example is the word “Triorchidism”, as Nobert has described it as above. A man with three testes? That’s outrageous and I think that language is on an ego trip itself.

Lots of complicated words here. I’m not sure about your definition of narcissism. I didn’t think that it had anything to do with sex – just being obsessed with oneself. I could be wrong.
Also, could you check the spelling of phidophilia (paedophilia). Is this a different spelling?

You never let me down. That was an interesting article. Some I knew, other I didn’t. Well written. How did you come up with the idea? I never would have thought about this subject. Looking forward to your next work.

very interesting… I remember helping my sister studying for her Phsyche exam and the teacher for every question said ‘Barney loves sex, to get sexual arousal he has to fondal woman’s shoes. What kind of disorder does he have?” He went through a lot of them… I just remember rolling in the car because we were all laughing so much

Nobert,
The American spelling for Phidophilia is Pedophilia and a person that engages in sex with a child is called a Pedophile. The spelling Anne Lyken-Garner gave is also correct. If I’m not mistaken I believe the brittish spell it the way she has it spelled. I’ve been doing research on this subject in order to write an article about it. Some of this I knew, and the rest I didn’t know. You’ve written several good articles, and like them, this is a very informative article. Great work.

While some of these are in fact disorders, not all of them are. Many of the isms you listed, as well as sodomy, are simply sexual preferences, and are not in fact a sexual disorder. As long as they are performed consensually with other adults and both (or all) parties enjoy, then there is nothing wrong with sado-masochism, sodomy, or transvestitism, for instance. Sodomy couldn’t possibly be a disorder as it is a behavior as opposed to an attribute of a person. Please be careful when trying to educate others.

…So sad… Anna Ski. It is obvious that you are uneducated, at least on the particular sections of culture, medicine(disorders),history etc. Firstly, Greeks officially are named Hellines,Greece-Hellas and so on(open a dictionary before you come to your conclusions). Secondly, “Greeks” didnt “came up” with anything, but pointed a term to a bizzare phenomenon, for medicine, which fortunantely they “came up” with, invented I would say, do some research about Hippocrates and you will understand. Also the fact that someone puts a name on a condition doesnt mean that his wholle race is practicing or saffer by the specific condition. Please dont be so prejudice and try to open your range of “thinking” and as said inside here becarefull when you educate others!!!
Excuse my bad english and spelling

Interesting article Nobert. However, I agree with Anne, narcissism is someone who thinks only and highly of them-self. Some of these I’ve never heard. You could have went a little further on your explanation, but It’s definitely an interesting article and well worth the read.
