Abstract
Children whose species-specfic, juvenile sexual rehearsal play is thwarted or fraumatized are at risk for developing a compensatory paraphilia. The case of a Buddhist male exemplifies the cross-cultural application of this principle. His syndrome, fonnicophilia, was endogenously genrated without reference to or influence by commercial pornography. the complete causal explanation of paraphilia will require both a phylogenetic (phylismic) and an ontogenetic (lift-history) component. The treatmmt of paraphilia may combine an antiandrogenic hormone with sexological counseling.
