Charles Moser, Ph.D., M.D., is a well-known American physician, sexologist, and advocate for sexual health and freedom. His research and advocacy focus on promoting the rights and well-being of individuals whose sexual interests or behaviors are outside societal norms, including MAP. He calls for the declassification of paraphilias in general and for it to be considered a pseudoscientific concept.
