Lydia Benecke: Sadisten: Tödliche Liebe (ab 16 J.)

In the organizer's words:

Sadists: Deadly Love (16+)

This lecture gives an insight into the different psychological profiles of harmless and dangerous sexually sadistic people:

On the one hand, the "completely normal life" of those people who consensually live out their sexual sadism with masochistic people is explained. On the other hand, the thoughts and feelings of dangerous, criminally sexually sadistic people are portrayed - the best-known representatives of which include Jack the Ripper and Ted Bundy.

Lydia Benecke developed the first comprehensive, scientific explanatory model for the psychological differentiation between dangerous and harmless sexual sadists, which has been published in specialist books such as the third volume of the "Schriftenreihe der Gesellschaft für Kriminologie, Polizei und Recht" and the anthology "Destruktive Sexualität. Therapy and Risk Assessment in Forensic Psychiatry".

In her illustrated lecture, she explores questions such as:

- What distinguishes one sexually sadistic person from another?

- What needs drive them?

- What defines their personality?

- How do they organize their partnerships?

Lydia Benecke also explains why "Shades of Grey" does not provide a realistic insight into the relationships between people who practice BDSM and why Christian Grey is a dangerous rather than a consensual sexual sadist.
