Because sexual arousal is an emotional response, it is to be argued that those who participate in sexual deviance, are responding to a biological response their body is sending out (Smid, Wineke, Wever, Edwin, Smid, & Wineke, 2018). However, this does not mean that the response should be acted on and that the person should not be held accountable for his or her actions, but I believe it does give hope there could be some kind of potential medication that could help the sufferer lessen, or eliminate, the unhealthy urges they are feeling. The biological response of wanting to have sexual contact with children, harm someone sexually, or any other sexually deviant thing that could be potentially harmful, is something that must be addressed in order to prevent these persons from becoming victims to the biological tendencies their bodies are putting off, though I do not believe biology itself is the only factor to blame for the reason these urges come about, which is explained in the following paragraph about the ways psychological matters can affect children into adulthood, and play a role into sexual deviance.
Children who have been sexually abused have a higher likelihood of becoming sexually deviant themselves when they grow older (Levenson & Grady, 2016). These children are often times exposed to other things like parents who are neglectful, drug addicts, incarcerated and abusive in other ways, which may also lead them to become sexually deviant when they mature into adolescence or adulthood. It is commonly known that sexual molestation is something that ripples down until something puts a stop to it, like incarceration, so until someone stop the behavior, a child who has been molested themselves is more likely to act out sexually when they get older (Levenson & Grady, 2016). If a child is sexually abused and comes from a home that is neglectful, they are less likely to get the help they need to heal from the sexual trauma, which could also put them at risk for sexual deviance at at a later age, so this is another fact that plays into the psychological side of explaining sexual deviance.
