"Any recurrent abnormal sexual activity of fantasy, directed towards orgasm, when a normal sexual activity, as approved by the society is possible".(The simplified form of Sexual perversion!!)
Peeping Tom or Mixoscopia
A peeping Tom gets sexual gratification by secretly observing the sex performance of others."Orgasm is usually preceeded by masturbation".
It has got a historical background.In the late 10th century, one Lady Godiva(also known as Godjifu or Godgyfu-which means "Gift of God") was a widow who remarried the Earl of Mercia ,"Leofric".According to ancient story the beautiful lady Godiva who was very sympathetic towards poor people, was mentally distressed as her husband used to TAX his people highly and beyond their capacity.He was not agreeable to reduce the tons of his tenants. On repeated persuasion by Lady Godiva he agreed to reduce the toll tax on condition that for getting the toll reduced, lady Godiva would ride naked through the streets of the town.Lady Godiva agreed and before starting her ride nakedly, issued a proclamation for the public that during the period of her ride all the people of the town would stay inside their houses with doors and windows closed.A person Tom who was a tailor failing to restrain his curiosity made a hole in the Shutter of the door of his room to look at the naked Lady Godiva riding the horse on the street.It is said that Tom got blind for looking at Godvia through the hole of the shutter.However, as promised, Godiva’s husband reduced the toll tax on his people after this.From there the term "Peeping Tom" has come into use for secretly seeing others sex organ or activity.

Voyeurism
It is similar to Peeping Tom.It means getting pleasure by seeing a person nude or undressed in the bathroom or while undressing.Sometimes the voyeurist gets gratification by seeing a person micturating(the condition is termed as Undinism).

(Voyeurist seeing a person being undressed)
Unlike Peeping Tom, the excitement comes from knowing that victim is unaware of voyeur and masturbation at the scene or later to the memories of watching the unsuspecting stranger is normally the source of sexual pleasure.
Exhibitionism
It is an intentional exposure of genitals in public places, directed to opposite sex, to obtain sexual gratification.
The person is often called "FLASHER".

When exposure is aimed to attract a particular woman then, often there is a hidden expectation of similar exposure by the woman or it may be a reflection of a hidden desire to observe the private parts of the woman.
Frotteurism/Toucherism
It is sexual gratification by rubbing genitals against person’s body or by fondling their private parts or genitals in the crowd, public places, especially during rush hours.
Fantasy is an extensive component, i.e. they think that touching behavior will not offend the victim and the victims will find it pleasurable.But if they attempt intercourse, they have premature ejaculation or they are impotent(as this is mostly performed by males).
Bobbit syndrome
It is a recently used term for a type of perverted sexual offence in which the female partner amputates the penis of her male partner with any sharp weapon available there at the spot.

(John Bobbit after whom the name Bobbit syndrome was derived)
It has an interesting incidental background.John Wayne Bobbitt and Lorena Bobbitt Gallo were an American couple, married on June 18, 1989.On June 23, 1993 in Manassas, Virginia, Lorena was raped by her husband after she came home at night.After her husband had gone to sleep, Lorena grabbed a knife from the kitchen and removed her husband’s penis while he was asleep.Lorena left her apartment and drove away in her car.She threw the penis in the field, but after she realized about her crime, she called the police.John's penis was found after an exhaustive search and was reattached.
Pedophilia
It is a sexual arousal, urges, fantasies or behaviors involving sexual contact with a prepubertal child or a non-consenting human partners.Victims are usually boys, girls or both sexes and offender are usually neighbours, family members or friends who are familiar with the child.
