Abnormal sexuality or sexual perversions may happen because of some stimulation. According to Alan Stone and Sue Smart Stone, “perversions, like any other symptoms, are not simply fixations, but also represent an attempt to deal with anxiety or conflict” 319. Smith states that there are some factors which are seen as the causes of abnormal sexuality. Sexual dysfunctions may be affected by genital injuries, disease, fatigue, excessive alcohol, and others as follows Smith 137. The first is faulty learning. It can lead young people to start out with wrong expectations and information that possibly impair their sexual adequacy 138. The second concerns feelings of fear, anxiety, and inadequacy.

Wright, Taylor, Davies, Sluckin, Lee, and Reasor say that motive is a particular level of reasons for doing something as when we discuss motives for a crime, for example. It refers to that which causes an individual to behave in a specific way 206. Jung states that sometimes we cannot separate motivation with emotion because emotion operates motives in generating responses. He simply considers both motives and emotions as motives 4. According to Bootzin, Loftus, Zajonc Black, La Piccolo, and Holahan, “motive is the dynamic property of behavior that gives it organization over time and that defines its end states”. It is the purpose that leads someone’s behavior in order to achieve goals or needs as the end state 367. They divide motivation into two parts, external and internal motivation.
