Paraphilia意思
Paraphilia is a term used in psychology and psychiatry to describe sexual interests or desires that are atypical and can cause distress or impairment to the individual or others. These interests can involve unusual objects, activities, or situations that are not part of normative sexual behavior. Paraphilias are considered abnormal or deviant when they lead to distress, impairment, or harm to others.
Some examples of paraphilias include:
- Exhibitionism: The compulsion to expose one's genitals to non-consenting people.
- Voyeurism: The compulsion to observe unsuspecting people who are naked or engaged in sexual activity.
- Frotteurism: The compulsion to touch or rub against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification.
- Sexual masochism: The compulsion to be humiliated, beaten, or otherwise made to suffer for sexual gratification.
- Sexual sadism: The compulsion to inflict pain or humiliation on others for sexual gratification.
- Transvestic fetishism: The compulsion to wear clothes of the opposite sex for sexual gratification.
- Pedophilia: The compulsion to be sexually attracted to prepubescent children.
It's important to note that not all atypical sexual interests are paraphilic disorders. For an interest to be classified as a paraphilic disorder, it must cause significant distress or impairment in the individual's life, or involve non-consenting individuals. Additionally, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has specific criteria for diagnosing paraphilic disorders, which include the person's sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors being distressing or leading to significant problems in their life.
