Paraphilia
Paraphilia is a non-normative attraction. Attraction to somebeing/something other than a consenting adult human, actions other than the ones implied by intimacy with a partner and body parts that is not sexual characteristics. A paraphilia can be of any attraction type. The opposite of paraphilia is normophilia.
Paraphilias can be categorized into three categories:
- Attractions to beings.
- Attractions to objects, body parts and concepts, also referred as fetishes.
- Attractions to actions, also referred as kinks.
It must be emphasized that paraphilias are attractions and not disorders, neither they are actions, and being attracted to somebeing/something does not mean that being will look for sexual and/or romantic acts with the somebeing/something to who/what they are attracted.
