Used to be known as perversions; a.k.a. sexual deviation “Recurrent, intense sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors that involve unusual objects, activities, or situations and cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.” (Source 1: PDM) Paraphilias
The recurrent urge or behavior to expose one’s genitals to an unsuspecting person. (Source 6) This act is usually performed by a lonely, insecure male. They seek sexual excitement through this. There is no sexual contact involved. Exhibitionism
The use of non-sexual or nonliving objects or part of a person’s body to gain sexual excitement. (Source 6) Examples of fetishes: Body parts (Animate fetish) Piercings Fabric/Material/Clothing (Media fetish) Fetishism
The recurrent urges or behavior of touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person. (Source 6) The “frotteur” fantasizes about having an intimate relationship with the victim. Makes a quick escape, because they realize that their actions are illegal. Frotteurism
