Considering possible influences of a couple's socio-economic circumstances on its sexuality represents an important attempt to widen, as much as possible, the scope of such subject matters.

Eating habits not only include nourishment, but also an emotional outlet, which can encompass the intensity of appetit, food preferences. Food in general could be perhaps the underline cause for conflicts within the couple. Surprisingly, eating could take priority over sexuality.

Different psychotherapeutic interventions in order to cure paraphilic symptomatology appeared until now rather disappointing. We propose a new modality focusing especially on some particular aspects, for example the relationship between pleasure and pain and between excitation and inhibition.

All sexual activity seems to revolve around a mix of sensations and feelings. The complexity of this combination sometimes makes it difficult to determine which aspect predominates. Other times, on the contrary, it is very clear which one plays the main role. In addition comes the question of the level of consciousness implicated in a possible confrontation between reality and imaginary, reality and dreams.

Sexual satisfaction could depend at first on the bodily self-perception of everyman. Moreover, this person needs to be capable of integrating pleasure, which is fleeting, without neglecting the quality of the relationship with the partner.
