Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carlos's behavior is consistent with sexual sadism, which involves deriving sexual pleasure from causing physical or psychological pain and suffering to others. This is often accompanied by a desire for dominance and control over the victim. The other options (B, C, D) do not fit Carlos's behavior as well. Frotteurism involves nonconsensual touching or rubbing against others, but does not necessarily involve humiliation or pain. Sexual masochism involves deriving sexual pleasure from receiving pain or humiliation, which is the opposite of Carlos's behavior. Hypoxyphilia involves seeking sexual arousal from oxygen deprivation, which is not relevant to Carlos's behavior.
