New White Paper 2025 by Dr. Minwalla! The Blueprint for Deceptive Sexuality: Ten Steps to Building a Secret Sexual Basement A Guide (for Men) to Understanding Infidelity as Abuse.

This article delves into the concept of gaslighting as a form of psychological abuse, specifically focusing on its application to deceptive sexuality, which includes infidelity, sex addiction, and compulsive sexual behavior. It explores deceptive compartmentalized sexual or relational realities (DCSR) as a form of covert psychological operations that manipulate reality.

This article explores the concept of complex trauma shaping, drawing from Judith Herman’s foundational work on complex trauma, and presents educational metaphors that illuminate this process.

This article introduces, defines, and provides a description of the proposed clinical term, integrity-abuse disorder (IAD), a specified type of psychological abuse disorder related to agendas of dishonesty, deliberate deception, and the intentional psychological manipulation of victim reality.

This article begins by examining the prevailing views on infidelity and compulsive sexual behavior, which predominantly center on sexual and relational acts or behavior. It then shifts focus to the concept of deceptive compartmentalization and its significant impact on both infidelity and compulsive sexual behavior or sex addiction, defining it as a form of psychological abuse that is frequently underrecognized or downplayed, yet highly comorbid with both infidelity and sexual compulsivity.

Sexual compulsivity is “a lack of control” problem, and sexual entitlement is an “I don’t want to control” problem. One is an impulse control issue, and the other represents an unhealthy psychology and belief system.
