“…This picture fits in well with that drawn by Pasqualini, Vidal & Bur (1957) who observed thirty-one Klinefelter subjects. These were described as having been timid and hypokinetic from an early age; as being usually idle, sleeping too much and lacking vital interests.…”

“…the patients were described as feeble-minded [10][11][12], Even today we find the heading 'Klinefelter's syndrome' in textbooks on men tal retardation. The mean IQ in the KS boys was lowered, but it was as high as a full-scale IQ of 95.6, which is within the normal range.…”

Of 25,000 Danish schoolboys, aged 15-16 years, 16 were found to have previously undiagnosed Klinefelter’s syndrome. Comparison of these boys with normal controls indicated that on average these subjects had increased height, reduced weight, impaired hearing, slightly lowered intelligence, poor school performance, increased incidence of psychological consultation and lowered sexual activity compared with their peers.

“…Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome can present with behavioral and emotional disturbances, including paraphilic disorders (Crowley, 1964;Knecht, 1993;Nielsen, 1970;Pasqualine, Vidal, & Bur, 1957). Berlin (1983) reported several cases of Klinefelter's syndrome patients (mosaic chromosomal patterns [90% 47 XXY, 10% 46 XY] or 47 XXY chromosomal patterns), who in addition to their genetic disorder had co-morbid paraphilias, including homosexual pedophilia, ephebophilia (ephebophilia: men who are sexually aroused by adolescent boys), transexualism, and transvestism.…”

Individuals who engage in sexual offenses may be afflicted with a paraphilic disorder or sexual deviation syndrome. Paraphilias are psychiatric disorders characterized by deviant and culturally non-sanctioned sexual fantasies, thoughts, and/or behaviors. A proportion of these individuals may also suffer from symptoms of mental illness that can go unrecognized. Although the etiology and pathophysiology of paraphilic disorders continue to be under investigation, data from empirical, biomedical, and psychopharmacological studies suggest abnormalities at a biological level. This article will discuss and review clinical and neurobiological characteristics of the paraphilias. To this end, we will begin with a general exploration and overview of basic principles that are germane to the subject matter and will conclude with an examination of the most recent relevant research findings.
