Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sexual behavior may be termed a paraphilic disorder if it involves another person's psychological distress, injury, or death. Paraphilias are considered disordered when they cause distress to the individual or pose a risk or harm to other people. Engaging in sexual activities with a person who can give legal consent and the sexual stimulation of oneself or one's partner are not inherently disordered behaviors. A harmless variation of a sexual practice may also not be considered abnormal or disordered.
