Men in contemporary western societies differ from women regarding several sexual expressions. For example, men show a more stationary, linear sexual desire, more often separate sex-life from love-life, engage in heterosexual or homosexual one-night-stands and more often buy sex from a prostitute. Some sexual deviations manifest themselves only in males. Most sexual offences are committed by mean. Sexual assaults are, of course, unacceptable. But sexual offences are often a token of powerlessness when failing in relation to oneself and/or other people. Thus not only victims of sexual assaults, but also the perpetrators need help in order to prevent further sexual assaults. In the paper some experiences with therapy of sexual offenders in Denmark and Germany are discussed.
