Paraphilic coercive disorder

Common card · No. 237207

Paraphilic coercive disorder, also paraphilic rape, is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is dependent on, or is responsive to, the act of sexually assaulting a nonconsenting person, especially a stranger. In Greek, the disorder is known as biastophilia (from biastes, "rapist" + -philia) and in Latin raptophilia (from Latin rapere, "to seize"). Some dictionaries consider the terms synonymous, while others distinguish raptophilia as the paraphilia in which sexual arousal is responsive to actually raping the victim.
