Synopsis
Dr Money outlines healthy love-map development as well as love-map pathology - love-maps gone awry. Such pathology falls into three categories: hypophilia (sexual dysfunction, such as impotence), hyperphilia (erotomania), and paraphilia (perversions). Paraphilia, another term coined by Money (from the Latin para - away from what is expected, and philia - love) can range from "those that are playful and harmless to those that are bizarre and deadly".Presenting case histories, "Lovemaps" describes the sexual practices of several patients and subsequent treatments of their paraphilias. Money pioneered the application of the hormone MPA, or Depo-Provera, to treat repeat sex criminals. He believes he has proved that science can prevent paraphilic sex offending, as is the case for other, physiological diseases. "Lovemaps" and its stirring accounts of love-map pathology in case histories, (which are indexed under "paraphilia"), can be invaluable tools for those in the fields of sexology, child psychology, clinical psychology, criminology and, with its comprehensive glossary, the general reader - in short, anyone interested in human sexual development.

This is the most accessible of John Money's books. It is the real "Venus and Mars" book about relationships. Dr. Money has a long history of solid research and writing in the field of sexology that predates Comfort and others. His intense intellectual power limits the audience to those willing to struggle through complex descriptions of very complex concepts...you see our sexual brain is not so simple as to be covered in the prime time attention span of 30 minutes. If you take the time with this one, I am sure you will come away with more than that which the 10 most popular lay books out there COMBINED have to offer. This is the REAL truth, and not in a fancy package...all the best to Dr. Money...former student and author, Kenneth Giuffre MD, "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain", Career Press 1999.

HOW SEXUAL FANTASIES GET IMPRINTED
8. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
John Money
Lovemaps: Clinical Concepts of Sexual/Erotic
Health and Pathology, Paraphilia, and Gender Transposition
in Childhood, Adolescence, and Maturity
(New York: Irvington, 1986) 331 pages
This is a scientific work on unusual sex-scripts--paraphilias.
Exploring the origins and dynamics of these sometimes bizarre
sexual fantasies and rituals might illuminate the sex-scripts
of people who never seek psychiatric help because of their 'sex-drives'
and who never commit sex-crimes.
No sex-scripts or imprinted sexual fantasies are 'natural'.
At critical periods early in our lives, various items
('fetish' objects, traumatic experiences, chance associations, etc.)
were slipped into that part of our minds we might call our "sex-files".
And usually this 'sexual imprinting' remains for the rest of our lives.

A Johns Hopkins Money Shot!
17. Dezember 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Dr. Money wrote eloquently and of course authoritatively about topics most would rather not give much thought to. Given that the paraphilias (typically referred to in common vernacular as "sexual perversions") he researched and profiled in Lovemaps continue to infect a new crop of sex offenders in each new generation, a book of this type is a fabulous resource yet sometimes disturbing read. Addressing everything from coprophilia and urophilia to child molestation and rape, Money presents it all with a brutal realism.
One key point Lovemaps presented is the concept of the window of vulnerability. Through Dr. Money's exhaustive studies he was able to pinpoint how sexual perversions or "paraphilias" develop. Paraphilias generally only exist in teens and adults if a traumatic incident happened to them when they were between the ages of five and eight. Hence, the ages five through eight appear to be a window of vulnerability. Apparently the traumatic experience need not only be sexual in nature. It also can possibly include verbal, emotional or physical abuse. To cite an example Money profiled in the book: a man had an insatiable need to visit gay bathhouses and peepshows in search of ever larger penises. The cause of his behavior was traced to an event that happened when he was five years old. During his window of vulnerability he was able to surreptitiously view his father showing his big penis to his older sister; he felt excluded and jealous. Another example Money documented was his notion that in some cases autoerotic-asphyxiophilia (arousal dependent on self-strangulation up to the moment just before unconsciousness) has its origins when five to eight year old children hold their breath during especially heavy crying spells. Boys are more susceptible than girls to having their lovemaps "vandalized". A vandalized lovemap essentially means the development of a paraphilia.
Unfortunately in our yet still repressive culture Money felt it necessary to emphasize that parents, educators, and authority figures should be open minded to what he called childhood sexual rehearsal play; basically two youths "playing doctor". Lovemaps proceeded to continually broach the idea that it is virtually impossible for kids to grow up without assimilating the concept that the genitals are a prime source of sin.
Dr. Money was an intellectual giant. While working out of Johns Hopkins University he conducted groundbreaking research into human sexual development, much of it culminating in outline format in Lovemaps. Having been written for both the layman and the professional psychiatric practitioner, Lovemaps is definitely a proverbial must read.

Great Insight
1. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I found the book to be very insightful to the understanding of pathology regarding sexual behavior. His work helps to explain the etiology of certain paraphilias that can help in the understanding and treatment of sexual disorders. I would have liked to see this work explained from a different theoretical perspective. His use of the metaphors, sinful lust and saintly love get old and more reasoning behind the choice of particular paraphilias would prove helpful. Money has a brilliant mind, but his work would provide much more meaning had he used a different theoretical understanding of sexual deviance.
