I'm not delusional!
(as told to nyucknyuck and natis-secus today)
Late last night, I attempted to review AP Psych material. I was currently in the 'Abnormal Psychology' section, so you know, pretty interesting stuff. Little did I know how interesting it would get.
By the time I took the practice quiz at the end of the chapter, I was almost asleep. And *that* is why I didn't believe this question:
14) Mary is sexually aroused by aardvarks. Mary might be diagnosed as having:
a) pedophilia
b) masochism
c) sadism
d) a paraphilia
e) fetishism
Read it. Did a double take. Read it again. Convinced self that I was dreaming. Went to sleep without finishing practice test.
First thing in the morning, my immediate thought upon waking was 'Is Mary still sexually aroused by aardvarks?!?' Flipped open textbook, yup, she is.
NOT A DREAM. REAL QUESTION.
...I want to know why the textbook makers felt the need to pose this question. I never even thought about the possibility of sexual aardvark/human relationships before now. Actually, I rarely thought about aardvarks at all, truth be told. My world has changed. *sob*
However, I now know what to say next time someone accuses me of being abnormal/kinky/weird/etc. At least I don't, um, enjoy the company of aardvarks! Could always be worse. XD
