Paraphilic disorder

Uncommon card · No. 147731

A paraphilic disorder is a mental disorder in which a paraphilia (sometimes called a sexual fetish or kink) involves people who do not consent, or causes marked distress which is not just due to rejection or fear of rejection, or significantly risks injury or death. In the International Classification of Diseases, paraphilic disorders include exhibitionistic disorder, voyeuristic disorder, pedophilic disorder, coercive sexual sadism disorder, frotteuristic disorder, and other paraphilic disorders. The United States Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-5-TR has a slightly different list, specifically including sexual masochism disorder and transvestic disorder. Paraphilic disorders occur in adults and occasionally adolescents, but as the behaviour must be persistent. Many sex crimes are not due to such disorders.
