Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diagnosis of paraphilia involves experiencing intense sexual arousal and gratification through recurrent and persistent fantasies, urges or behaviors that involve nonhuman objects, children, or non-consenting adults, as well as pain, suffering, or humiliation to the self or to others. These atypical sexual interests and behaviors can cause significant emotional, interpersonal, and legal problems. Therefore, paraphilia is considered a disorder only when it leads to distress or impairment, and is not related to cultural, religious, or political factors.
