Sexual fetishism in adolescence: Report of two cases

Cinsel fetişizm, kişinin canlı olmayan nesneleri (örneğin iç çamaşırlarını) kullanmasıyla ilgili yoğun, cinsel yönden uyarıcı fantazilerinin, cinsel dürtülerinin ya da davranışlarının yineleyici bir şekilde ortaya çıkması durumu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Her ne kadar cinsel fetişizmin genellikle ergenlikte başladığı varsayılsa da çocuk ve ergenlerde cinsel fetişizmin klinik özellikleriyle ilgili çok az sayıda bildirim vardır. Bu çalışmada, cinsel fetişizm gelişen 13 ve 12 yaşlarında iki ergenin klinik özelliklerinin, tedavi sürecinin ve eşlik eden dikkat eksikliği, hiperaktivite ve sosyal anksiyete bozukluklarının cinsel fetişizm gelişmesi üzerindeki etkilerinin tartışılması planlanmaktadır.

Ergenlikte cinsel fetişizm: İki olgu sunumu

Sexual fetishism is defined by recurrent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving the use of nonliving objects, such as female undergarments or non-sexual body parts. Although it is assumed that fetishism usually begins by adolescence, there is very limited data on the characteristics of sexual fetishism in children or adolescents. This paper aims to describe clinical pictures of two adolescent boys who developed sexual fetishism. They were 13 and 12 years-old of age and both have comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity and social anxiety disorders. We plan to discuss clinical picture, treatment intervention and impact of comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity and social anxiety disorders in the development of sexual fetishism in these subjects.
