We as psychologists are concerned with the Treatment of Sexual deviances defined as any sexual preference, interest, or obsession out of the ordinary and/or problematic. Deviant sex is often manifested as part of various psychological problems. It is the responsibility of the therapist to treat the sexually deviated/problematic people but can help only if they are motivated for the treatment. And if they do not want a therapist can not help them.
Homosexuality
We have a deeply segregated society, boy’s schools, girl’s schools, boy’s or girl’s “mudrasas”. As a result child form sexual relationships with same sex in these institutions and it is more likely to happen than we believe. Some people treat this as a stage and when they cross this stage, lead a normal life. But some times it can take another direction and it becomes their preference and some of them are unable to develop attraction for opposite gender and cause a lot of problem in family many of them go along with this and do get married and have children but maintain a series of affairs with other men on side. All this rex their marriages and increase the danger of HIV.
