Sexual Harassment and Sadomasochism
Author: Williams, Christine L11 U Texas, Austin
ProQuest document link
Abstract: Although many women experience harmful behaviors that fit the legal definition of sexual
harassment, very few ever label their experiences as such. I explore how psychological ambivalence
expressed as sadomasochism may account for some of this gap. Following Lynn Chancer, I argue
that certain structural circumstances characteristic of highly stratified bureaucratic organizations may
promote these psychological responses. After discussing two illustrations of this dynamic, I draw out
the implications for sexual harassment theory & policy. 38 References. Adapted from the source

Learning from Extraordinary Lovers: Lessons from the Edge
Author: Kleinplatz, Peggy J11 School Psychology, U Ottawa
ProQuest document link
Abstract: This paper discusses lessons about sexuality & eroticism gleaned from those who engage
in extraordinary sex, even though such relationships have typically been classified as pathological.
What can clinicians learn from those who seek & attain uncommon sexual relations? Such individuals'
sexual epistemology, goals, understanding of the nature & spectrum of sexual & erotic relations,
communication strategies & "outcome" criteria can provide valuable lessons for those who treat
sexual problems or aim to overcome sexual mediocrity. For example, while traditional sex therapy
often focuses on what is on the surface, some SM participants are interested in the meanings that lie
at a deeper level. Whereas conventional clinicians may focus on enabling particular sexual acts
(especially heterosexual intercourse), SM participants are more apt to be concerned with the varied
spectrum of underlying purposes motivating these acts. Whereas many couples are willing to settle
for merely functional sex, SM practitioners may be more interested in contact that necessitates
intense, erotic connection; sophisticated communication of subtle differences in intent; & eventuates
in profound self-knowledge & transcendent levels of intimacy. Illustrative case examples are provided.
