For those who have seen already the viral video that clad girls did to the poor puppy by means of putting their full weight has drawn attention to the crush videos,and according to the expert it is a form of sexual deviance.
While some netizens decried the video, others raised the question: Why kill a puppy and record it?
Randy Dellosa a psychiatrist explained that point-by-point what motivates the production of these “crush videos.”
Dellosa shed light on the possible background of those who derive pleasure from viewing or participating such videos.
Having seen several crush videos, which he said mostly originate from Asia, Dellosa shared the following about the “abnormal” activity:
1. Crush videos show violence toward animals for sexual pleasure.
By means of torturing animals either vertebrates or invertebrates, those who really watch and participates get sexual arousal.
2. There are a variety of “crush activities.”
There are two types of crush activities, the soft crush means killing smaller animals like for example insects or worms while hard crush means killing big animals such as mammals.
3. Different tools are used to inflict pain on animals.
Asked if there’s a specific type of footwear that caters to fetishists, Dellosa said, It’s not necessary to wear shoes and if it might happen it could be only an incident. Slowly killing the animals gives pleasure.
4. Recording or participating in crush videos is abnormal.
Crushing animals is a form of sensual deviancy, an abnormal sexual behavior. To derive pleasure from activity with animals referred as zoosadism (hurting creatures). There are also who were obsessed in this kind of sexual activity especially those person who failed in sexual activity with other people, it’s really abnormal. In this case it is commonly known as Paraphilia, or sexual deviancy.
5. There are similar videos showing humans as victims.
Noting he has seen a number of crush videos, Dellosa said he was not surprised with the circulation of the recent one showing the three girls and the puppy.
There is also related to this, called as snuff video directly towards human. They torture the victim and then they have sex with that victim, sometimes to the point of killing after having sex with that person. And at this point it is transferred in animals and there’s nothing new to him.
6. Environment, childhood are also factors in sexual deviance.
Sometimes it’s learned behavior, such that if you keep on watching, for instance, violence, then you kind of ingrain it sa system mo and then it becomes normal for you. Sometimes the roots are actually during childhood. Like for those victims who were abuse, their thoughts became violent and they transfer their anger and hatred to animal.
7. Crush video fetishists are likely to be sociopaths.
For those who loves to watch the crush videos might have an anti-social personality disorder, and these people is sociopathic. They don’t have a sense of conscience or morality, and so it’s very easy for them to hurt other people or other creatures like animals,” he said.
8. Violent sexual deviance may be addressed through psychotherapy.
According to Dellosa there are sexual deviancy that are not acceptable, yet there is also acceptable, but just because this involves violence, hurting other creatures, an action must take place.
“These people who engage in such activities, they need psychotherapy and sometimes even medication. Psychotherapy, education and sometimes medication is what they need,” he said.
