1. Paraphilia

   Paraphilia (previously known as sexual perversion and sexual deviation) is the experience of intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, situations, fantasies, behaviors, or individuals. It has also been defined as sexual interest in anything other than a consenting human partner.There is no scientific consensus for any precise border between unusual sexual interests and paraphilic ones. There is debate over which, if any, of the paraphilias should be listed in diagnostic manuals, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). The number and taxonomy of paraphilia is under debate; one source lists as many as 549 types of paraphilia. The DSM-5 has specific listings for eight paraphilic disorders. Several sub-classifications of the paraphilias have been proposed, and some argue that a fully dimensional, spectrum or complaint-oriented approach would better reflect the evidence.

1. paraphilia

   Paraphilia is a term used in psychology and psychiatry to refer to a group of sexual disorders characterized by atypical, intense, recurrent sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors that cause distress or impair a person's functioning. These behaviors often involve non-human objects, non-consenting adults or children, or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or others. Examples of paraphilia can include fetishism, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and pedophilia among others. It's important to note that not all atypical sexual interests are classified as paraphilias.

1. Paraphilia

   Paraphilia describes the experience of intense sexual arousal to highly atypical objects, situations, or individuals. Examples include sexual interests that can motivate committing sexual offences—such as pedophilia, zoophilia, sexual sadism, and exhibitionism—but also include many harmless sexual interests, such as transvestism. There is no consensus for any precise border between unusual personal sexual tastes and paraphilic ones, and multiple, overlapping definitions exist. There is debate over which, if any, of the paraphilias should be listed in diagnostic manuals, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or the International Classification of Diseases. It is not known how many different kinds of paraphilias exist; one source lists as many as 549 paraphilias. Because so many paraphilias exist, one needs to classify them in an orderly and meaningful way. Several sub-classifications of the paraphilias have been proposed, and some argue that a fully dimensional, spectrum or complaint-oriented approach would better reflect the evidence.
