Starting form examining many sex paraphilia phenomena in American Jewish novelist Saul Bellow's novels, this paper analyzes the causes why characters in novels and the author himself have the complex of sexual inversion. Furthermore, it explores the relationship which refers to the race culture, the gender culture and the sex paraphilia behavior. Hence, I will try my best to make use of psychoanalysis, discourse theory and feminism comprehensively to explore and explain the hidden meaning of sex paraphilia description in Saul Bellow's novels.I believe that Bellow as a Jewish writer who had lived in the United States for a long time, Undoubtedly would be affected by the diverse culture and his work would also contain much information including cultural confliction and cultural change. Regarding his description of sex paraphilia as an entrance to look into those profound meanings of cultural information, after all, is a convenient and effective way. I will also through analyzing Bellow's wonderful description of sex paraphilia to prove such a view:as the form of alienation, paraphillia reflects the sexual awareness and the will to power in the real world, which not only is common in natural and human history, but also inevitably affects the normal sexual activities in human beings, even participates in constructing a wide range of human society.
