chance that a past experience of a sexual abuse is associated with later pedophilia, this proof is
steady with a few conceivable speculations. One might be that such encounters condition an
excitement to kids. Another might be that the pedophiles learn the conduct through the early
demonstrating of their own exploitation. Still Araji and Flnkelhorother more psychoanalytic
speculations are that pedophiles rehash their own exploitation with a desire to "ace" the injury
of these early encounters on the other hand as an aftereffect of relating to the more established
assailant and attempting to go up against his/her energy. Such information are steady with these
hypotheses, as well. To test the molding speculations, it may be critical to know whether
pleasurable and peer-sort encounters and additionally traumatic sexual encounters additionally
prompt to later pedophilia, a matter on which we could discover very lessinformation. It is
likewise essential for the generational transmission hypothesis to give a better record of why it is
essentially male victims become victimizers in the later part of their lifewhile the more
noteworthy number of casualties, women do not become pedophiles.
2.3.3. Blockage
Theories that revolve around blockage as an important factor that leads to pedophilic
behavior suggests that mostly individuals who are unable to satiate their sexual and emotional
needs in their heterosexual relationships in the society engage in sexual behavior with children as
they feel that they can relate more with the emotions of children. Some see this behavior
stemming out of “Castration Anxiety” and others believe that pedophilic behavior is the result of
lack of social skills, timidity low self- esteem etc. Researchers also discuss about different types
of blockages namely developmental and situational blockage that leads to such behavior. Family
dynamics of incest studies that a broken marital relationship often witnesses a father encouraged
to engage in sexual behavior with their daughters and seeking emotional fulfillment from such
acts. However the theory of blockage does not help in addressing the issue properly since
blockage in general studies sexual deviance but it fails to study why a man unable to find sexual
pleasures in his heterosexual relationships would turn into a pedophile rather than becoming a
rapist and victimize adults rather than children.
Another blockage theory is identified with the grown-up family life of the pedophile: that
child molesters and interbreeding wrongdoers encounter some failure or injury in grown-up
hetero connections which triggers the pedophilic action. A last blockage-sort theory is the way to
21
go that oppressive standards or mentalities about such things as masturbation and extramarital
sex might be identified with pedophilia. Goldstein et al. found that pedophiles reported more
guilt or disgrace from perusing erotica than rapists. They likewise recorded "dread of sex" as the
principle boundary to looking for more develop sexual outlets, were against premarital sex, and
communicated more distress as for discussing sex than some other gathering. Gebhard et al.
additionally discovered solid good hindrances to premarital intercourse among the female protest
pedophiles yet not among any of the other pedophile bunches. To put it plainly, it appears that a
few pedophiles may hold abusive sexual states of mind that may incline them toward sexual
exercises with children.
2.3.4. Disinhibition
The theories regarding disinhibition studies why and how inhibitions are shed or overcome
by adults that allow them to get sexually involved with children. These theories suggest that
some mechanism or condition is responsible for their disinhibition to get sexually attracted to
children. Researchers have found several reasons for a lack of inhibition in getting involved with
a child sexually and the reasons could be a disturbed personality. In most of the cases pedophiles
have exhibited psychopathic tendencies and these victimizers are often associated with problems
of alcohol and drug abuse. Other factors that leads to disinhibition could be unemployment,
stress, loss of a close relative etc. experts believe a person going through such conditions often
have lower barriers when it comes to sexual abuse of children.
A theory related to disinhibition is applicable to paternal incest where experts believe men
who lived out of household do not develop conservative inhibitions towards child sex or sex with
a family member. Hence being a step-father as opposed to a biological father also lower their
barrier towards any kind of sexual behavior with children.
Another disinhibition theory focuses on lack of impulse control but again this is not the
case with all the pedophiles since studies conducted on whether impulse control is the main
reason behind pedophilic behavior suggests that most of the actions were planned rather than
being an impulsive sexual act. Hence experts believe that impulse control can be a disorder for a
few individuals but is not applicable for all. As dis-inhibition is a concept that possess lack of
restraint in perspective of social conventions, once a male child falls into the trap of Bacha-Bazi
they experience critical trauma and take up attempts to die.

2 4. Conclusion
From all the discussion made all throughout this chapter a conclusion could be drawn
that Bacha-Bazi is a serious criminal offence. Bu, even with the implementation of different
legislative rules and government initiatives it is not under complete control still. A four factor
approach namely sexual congruence, sexual arousal, dis-inhibition, blockage is imposed by the
government of Afghanistan within the existing social policy list of the country to abolish the
practice of child abuse in Afghanistan. The main reason behind the continuity of Bacha-Bazi in
Afghanistan is just for meeting the sexual incongruity carried out by the middle aged person and
they do not have any shame in doing this kind of activities. Several powerful men of the
Afghanistan country who does not feel it important to abide by the country’s law still imitate to
make an introduction of their captivity to their wife and children. It is only possible, by
increasing the rate of literacy, the rate of Child abuse in Afghanistan would be brought in
complete control. The rise in pedophilic behavior of several middle aged person in the country is
not allowing this practice to abolish but imposing a threat over the socio- economic condition of
Afghanistan.
