3 Zoophilia: As ancient legends show, inter-species relations have a long history. Today we understand zoophilia as one of many paraphilias, some of which cause more problems than others. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons.) Current Biology  , R777-R780DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

4 Lucky number: The psychologist and writer Jesse Bering describes the determination of sexual orientation towards a specific gender and age group and/or for specific objects, body parts, or situations as a slot machine that makes people with acceptable orientations the lucky winners, while settling others with a lifetime of emotional turmoil and suppressed desires.

5 Dark Field: The Prevention Project Dunkelfeld in Germany uses ads such as this one to encourage self-identified paedophiles to attend sessions aimed at keeping them from offending. (Photo: Prevention Project Dunkelfeld Current Biology  , R777-R780DOI: ( /j.cub ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
