The paper analyses the concept of perversion in Chuck Palahniuk’s famous novel Choke. Flowing from the theory of Sigmund Freud who defined perversion as any sexual activity deviating from a hetero-normative sexual relation with a procreative aim, Chokeencompasses such types of sexual perversions as fetishism, voyeurism, sadism, homoeroticism, rape or promiscuity. As the major character, Victor Mancini, is a sexual addict who also performs a masturbatory act defined as auto-asphyxia, his sexual encounters could definitely be called perverse. However, the various examples of perversions by which the novel is entwined seem to be eschewed by Palahniuk’s readers who praise the novel greatly, leaving positive responses on online resources dedicated to the novel’s reception. By these means, one could state that perverse literature is perceived as ‘cool’ nowadays, having the power not only to normalize perversion, but even to make it aesthetic.Key words: Perversion, Palahniuk, Choke, Freud, ReceptionPalabras claves: Perversión, Palahniuk, Choke, Freud, Recepción

AbstractLittle is known about the role of affectionate behaviours — factors traditionally understood within the context of romantic relationships — in uncommitted ‘casual sex’ encounters. In a sample of U.S. undergraduate emerging adults aged 18–25 years (N= 639) we conducted a preliminary internet-based questionnaire investigation into the role of affectionate behaviours — operationalised here as cuddling, spending the night and cuddling, foreplay, and eye gazing — across two sexual relationship contexts: (committed) traditional romantic relationships and (uncommitted) casual sex encounters. While affectionate behaviours were desired more often in romantic relationships than in casual sexual encounters, many respondents (both men and women) engaged in these affectionate behaviours during casual sexual encounters as well. This was especially pronounced in those who expressed a preference for casual sex encounters over romantic relationships: in a casual sex context these participants were about 1.5 times as likely to cuddle, 1.5 times as likely to spend the night and cuddle, and nearly 5 times as likely to engage in foreplay with a partner. The current study emphasises the importance of considering relationship context in sexuality and relationship research, and the need for further theoretical and empirical research on dimensions of intimacy, including affection, in people's diverse romantic and sexual lives.

This article addresses the use of sexual relations with research informants in fieldwork for the purpose of gathering information. The analysis is based on the research that the author himself carried out between 2009 and 2014 on anonymous sexual encounters between men in public places in Catalonia. The article aims to demonstrate that sexual interaction with informants – notwithstanding appeals to scientific objectivity and professional ethics – can be a useful tool for gaining a better understanding of social reality. This study on anonymous sex shows that participating in sexual activity can provide the researcher with a great deal of information which would not be accessible via other relationships with research informants. However, the article also addresses certain limitations – which cannot be ignored – in fieldwork of this sort and in the interpretation of the data obtained.
