Imprisoned paraphiliac Ronald Keyes reveals the factors that contributed to his sadomasochistic tendencies and criminal life. Taunted and beaten into a state of erotic ecstasy by his dominatrix "Connie", Keyes became utterly subservient to her wishes. In an act of ultimate capitulation, he accommodated Connie's need to achieve orgasm through crime. Caught and imprisoned, Keyes sought to understand the nature of his sexual drives The result is a fascinating look into the mind of a most unusual man: scholar, writer, keen observer of human sexuality, and prisoner.

Misleading Title,
By Betsy Crozier, Ph. D. (Pasadena, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armed Robbery Orgasm (New Concepts in Human Sexuality) (Hardcover)
Don't be mislead by the title. The Armed Robbery Orgasm is a serious piece of sexological research, which delivers an important message. In order to cure a sexological disorder, you must first expose it. Mr.Keyes' book is a candid account of how an untreated sexologic disorder can be damaging to one's self and sometimes others. As a therapist, I hand this book to patients that had hinted of any sexologic problems that were reluctant to say too much. After reading The Armed Robbery Orgasm, they arrive at their next session primed to discuss openly their sexologic concerns. The authors'willingness to be completely open about behavior, thought, and feeling, especially relative to material which causes most people extreme embarrassment has paved the way for others to expose their secret lives in order to be helped. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a sexological question, as well as, to professionals to treat sexologic impairments. This book gives individuals permission to be honest with themselves and others, especially about taboo topics.

MY SEXUAL FANTASIES MADE ME DO IT,

This review is from: Armed Robbery Orgasm (New Concepts in Human Sexuality) (Hardcover)
Ronald W. Keyes & John Money
The Armed Robbery Orgasm: A Lovemap Autobiography of Masochism (Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1993) 164 pages This book is an excellent inside account of a set of unusual sex-scripts --perhaps the first book-length exploration of paraphilias written by the person who has that imprinting. Keyes traces his masochistic sex-scripts (which call for spanking and domination by a woman) to childhood abuse. His money-tinged attachment to his dominatrix led him on a spree of armed robberies, which put him in prison for 10 years, where he researched sexology with the help of John Money and produced this autobiography. He also did informal research into the sex-scripts of his fellow prisoners. If this book is widely read, it could profoundly change our understanding and treatment of behavior stimulated by imprinted paraphilias. If you would like to explore other books on sex-scripts, search the Internet for the following bibliography: "SEXOLOGY---SEX-SCRIPTS---BEST BOOKS". James Leonard Park, author of Imprinted Sexual Fantasies: A New Key for Sexology.
