The saying goes “Age ain’t nothing but a number”…but this isn’t exactly true, especially when it comes to one’s sexual desire for another. While some may simply cause raised eyebrows there are others that can get a person in very serious legal trouble and brand them as an outcast for life. While the specifics of which term is most appropriate for which preference may seem irrelevant it’s important to both mental health professionals and law enforcement…and it never hurts to know as a layperson either.
Onscreen sinister is sexy, whether we care to admit it or not. Villains in TV and movies are fascinating to watch; you can’t take your eyes off them. (Casting may help, true, but Hannibal Lector is entrancing played by Mads Mikkelsen, Anthony Hopkins, Brian Cox, or Gaspard Ulliel.) But why? Why do so many of us fall for the villain even when he or she is so…well…villainous?
Please note: I’m not talking about the villains in slasher films like Jason Voorhees or Freddie Kruger, but the ones that lean towards sane, sober, and sociopathic; the ones that could actually exist, in one form or another, in the real world.
