PervScan Back in Action
While PervScan had entirely un-perverse reasons for taking its brief hiatus, in a way it was very fruitful to step back from the site and its constant churn of deviance. Perversion was still there but PervScan reoriented itself for a while. Rather than face perversion, PervScan turned to the side, contemplated perversion from a new and more oblique angle. It was like a Zen paradox in which you think about a thing by not thinking about it.
Partly this caused PervScan to wonder about the relationship of perversion and habit. When life events intervene — and when these interfere with your usual routines — does perversion drop away or recede in importance? And does that mean that perversion is just a part of your routine? A habit? It sounds odd to say it. When you imagine the relationship of habit and sexuality, you think of stagnation, a thousand consecutive nights of missionary position. Isn’t perversion that which always launches us out of these routines? Turns us from the missionary position to the foot or the dog?
In a related vein, PervScan also wondered about the relationship of perversion and leisure. Does perversion only arise in the hearts and minds of those who have the time for it? There are old sayings such as “idle hands do the devil’s work.” Is there a seed of truth in these? Behind every deviant act, is there an unarticulated block of free time? There are all sorts of therapeutic programs that attempt to cure deviance. Do you think that if you took a pervert — a pedophile, say — and made him incredibly busy, his perversion would lessen in intensity? Or would it remain there the entire time, undercutting his focus, his energy, his productivity? Would he sneak away from his responsibilities to indulge in his freaks?
so glad to see you back!
Always miss you when you take time off. And, for me personally, no matter how busy I am I make time for my freak. In fact, the more harried and stressed I am the more I feel the need to indulge.
The real question is this: Does sexuality as a whole recede into the background when other life events move forward to take it’s place? As free time decreases, is the lack of time preventing us from indulging in our favorite “perversions”? Clearly the answer is yes. We may take time to contemplate what we would do if we had the time, but we are powerless to indulge in extra-ciricullar activities in the face of our ever busier lives.
Biologically we were selected as horn dogs, always willing to take the time to reproduce. But, most “perversions” actually reduce the chances of reproducing. They haven’t been selected for.
I would argue that perversion is a leisure activity akin to a holiday. It’s nice if you have time or can make time, but it isn’t essential. But it can also easily take on the aspects of obsessive-compulsive disorder, becoming all consuming.
For most of us, it’s a pleasant way to fill the time. For those with o-c, it’s different.
Human sexuality is plastic. It’s learned to an incredible extent. It can be unlearned. And biologically, all that’s been selected for is near constant ability to become aroused if the stimuli are right.
What a society considers perverse is also changable.
So, yeah, our “perversions” are habits, learned behaviors, and they can be unlearned. They also recede into the background as time demands increase. The real question is whether or not we have the moral right to insist on change, to compel the elimination of a behavior that we as a culture don’t approve of. Thought police, anyone?
Welcome back!
Glad to hear you’re back. Hope you enjoyed the rest from our feces-loving world!
I think if you took any NAMBLA member, and tried to keep them artificially busy, they would just think of small boys, dream of small boys, draw small boys, and then eventually, when the opportunity arose, molest small boys.
Hip hooray! Hello again.
Okay, nothing to say but that. As you were, men.
Welcome back! Looking forward to more excellent pervy insight in my feed reader.
Great to find ye back, ‘Vert :-)

In my experience? No, yes and yes. I do get incredibly busy, quite a lot of the time. That leads to a degree of stress, but not so much stress as sexual urges can’t still surface.
Then I have a degree of stress mixing with a degree of sexual tension ~ My dick distracts me! So, generally speaking, I down tools and sneak off for a spot of indulgence.
That itch scratched, I find my thinking clears and I can settle back down to what I was so busy trying to get done.
But then; Perverse or otherwise. Isn’t the sexual urge like much any other ‘addiction’? Pretty much what ever we or They might try to do to smother it, it Will be heard and Will gain our attention.
Illness, emotional upset, worry. These types of things may curtail the urge / activity. Being busy? No. Not in my book, anyway.
