As some of you know, I am psychotherapist who has said, for the greater good, the hell with the reluctance of so many of my pompous colleagues to distant diagnose Trump. You could say I am using my expertise from having been a therapist, a clinical social worker licensed to diagnose and treat all mental disorders, to learn as much as I can in the brand new field of trumpology and so we all can better understand the personality of this unusual president.
I have written about 25 articles on Daily Kos try to do that starting way back in March.
Trump has claimed to be a germaphobe and has just used this as a proof he could have engage in the allege salacious allegations about he and two Russian prostitute.
Trump has been able to overcome his anxiety about germs to get along reasonably well in social settings. When this so called proof that he isn't into golden showers ( urolagnia) is offered we have to judge whether a paraphilia (sexual fettish) trumps a phobia.
My hunch is that the answer is mostly yes, sometimes no.
Considering that Trump has a history of, frotteurism (sexual pleasure from unwanted and unexpected gential touching or “pussy grabbing”) which happens to be sexual assault, we see one instance where his sexual desire has frequntly overcome his concern over the dire consequences of being caught committing sexual assualt. Sex won out over anxiety.
All I have is a sense about Trump. This is that whatever anxiety he has about germs, if he gets sexual pleasure from being urinated on or watching women urinate this will supercede any fear of germs.
Besides, while it is a misconception that urine, especially female urine is 100% bacteria free (it can pick up harmless bacteria on its journey through the urethra, he could rationalize that it is germ free.
Another way to look at it is that bodily needs, if strong enough, almost always take precedence over a person’s fears. Take for example people lost in the jungle eating worms and grubs.
