Let us assume a sexual behavior is a
psychological disorder if:
- It causes harm to other people, or;

- It causes an individual to experience
persistent or recurrent distress or
important areas of functioning.
When evaluating a given sexual behavior, the
contest is extremely important, as are
customs and mores, which change over time.
Many attitudes and behaviors related to sex
have changed in recent decades.
Paraphilia. Gender Identity Disorder and Sexual Dysfunctions
Para meaning abnormal and philia meaning attraction,
Literally, Abnormal Attraction
Para meaning Faulty or Abnormal, and
Philia meaning Attraction
These are disorders in which an individual has

recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies,
sexual urges or behaviors involving (1) Non-
human objects, (2) Children or other non-
consenting persons and (3) suffering or
humiliation of ones self or partner
Usually lasts for 6 months.
Always thinking to carry out their unusual behavior.
Overly obsessed that if the individual cannot get to
their desired object, they get stressed.
The individual will lose sight of other goals and
concentrate of the fulfillment of their sexual desires if
worse.
It causes intense personal distress or impairment in
social, work and other areas of life functioning.
Except for Sexual Masochism, almost all cases of
Paraphilia Involve MEN.
Telephone Scatologia- making obscene
phone calls, such as describing ones
masturbatory activity, threatening to rape
the victim, or trying to find out the victims
sexual activities.

Autagonistophilia- having sex in front of others.
Somnaphilia- having sex with a sleeping person.
Stigmatophilia- deriving sexual pleasure from

Paraphilias are not fleeting whims or

but are conditions that last at least 6 months.
Quoted from the book:
The most disturbing disorder you will study in this book
Pedophilia is where an adult (16 yrs. Above) has

uncontrollable sexual urges to sexually immature children
(13 below)
Persists from months to even years.
Forms of sexual acts against children include kidnapping,
sexual abuse, fondling, and penetration or intercourse.
Situational Molesters
Normal Sexual development and interest. But when stress
calls for it, they sometimes want to become sexual with a
child
Preference Molesters
Pedophillic behavior is already ingrained in the individuals
lifestyle, clear preference for children, esp. Boys, and will
do anything (even marry) to hide his behavior, and clearly
sees nothing wrong with his unusual behavior.
Child Rapist
A violent childabuser whose behavior is an expression of
hostile sexual drives.
There is no one best
treatment for Pedophilia.
Clinicians aim the problem
at the endocrine system
and usually use
Testosterone-reducing
drugs to ease sexual
excitement among males.
Psychologists track the
problem rooting from the
abusers childhood stage,
early life experience, and
others.
The person has intense sexual urges and
arousing fantasies involving the exposure of
genitals to a group of stranger/s.
He/she does not expect a sexual reaction

from the stranger but finds the shock or fear
in the onlooker to be arousing
Have the fantasy that the onlooker will be

sexually aroused.
Usually a multi-faceted approach. Involving
reliance on learning principles, like counter
conditioning or aversive conditioning.
Treatment aims to unlearn the connection

between sexual behavior and exhibitionist
behavior.
Fetishism is where a person feels a strong
recurrent sexual attraction to a nonliving object.
People with this are always preoccupied with the

object of desire, and they become dependent to
it as an object for sexual gratification.
Objects include shoes, gloves, underwear,

stockings, swimsuits, etc.
Another variant of Fetishism.
People with Partialism are soley interested in

the sexual gratification from a specific body
part, examples are feet, neck, underarms,
back, etc.
They do unusual actions to the desired object,
like sucking, smelling, fondling, rubbing, burning
and cutting.
Have no desires to intercourse with the partner
with the desired object, rather, they would
masturbate to the desired object.
It involves compulsive rituals that are beyond
the control of the individual, which can cause
distress and interpersonal problems.
Aversion Therapy
Where the individual is exposed to a different sexual stimulus other
than the desired object.
Orgasmic Reconditioning
behavioral method geared toward a relearning process. In
this procedure, an individual is instructed to arouse
himself with a fantasy of the unacceptable object, then
masturbate while looking at an appropriate sexual
stimulus, such as a picture of an adult partner. If his arousal
decreases, he may return to the fantasy of the
unacceptable object, but he is to attain orgasm only while
focusing on the acceptable stimulus.
Derived from the word Frotter meaning To
rub
Refers to the masturbation that involves

rubbing against another person.
Frotteur has recurrent sexual desires on

rubbing into people. Targets of Frotteurs are
not consenting people, rather they target
strangers.
Obsessed with the rubbing of selves to
unsuspecting strangers, finding it sexually
pleasurable.
Often acts quickly, or undetected.
Fantasizes that they are in an intimate
relationship with the stranger.
Treatment includes extinction and covert
conditioning.
Sexual Masochism
Comes from the name of an Austrian Writer Leopold Baron von
Sacher-Masoch. Who is known for his novels about men being
sexually humiliated by women. A Masochist is someone who
seeks pleasure from being subjected to pain.
Sexual Sadism

Marquis de Sade, who wrote extensively about obtaining sexual

Both terms were coined by Krafft-Ebing, a german physician.

sexual satisfaction by such means like
binding, ropes, whips, or injuries.
The converse of Sexual Masochism. It involves
deriving sexual gratification from activities that
harm, or from urges to harm, another person.
Seeing or imagining anothers pain excites the
sadist. In contrast to Sexual Masochism, which
does not require a partner, sexual sadism clearly
requires a partner to enact sadistic fantasies.
Sadomasochist is the term where in a person
does both Sadist and Masochist roles, or
inflicting and receiving pain.
