ramirezdahmerbundy: What is a Paraphilia? Paraphilia is a medical or behavioral science term for what is also referred to as: sexual deviation, sexual anomaly, sexual perversion or a disorder of sexual preference. It is the repeated, intense sexual arousal to unconventional (socially deviant) stimuli. Richard Von Krafft-Ebing, a German psychiatrist credited with formally introducing the study of Sexology as a psychiatric phenomenon, identified paraphilias first in his 1886 Psychopathia Sexualis (Sexual Psychopathy). This highly influential psychiatric text laid the groundwork for the development of research and treatment in this area that has taken place over the last century. Paraphilias are currently recognized as one of the categories of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders in the DSM-IV-TR List of Paraphilias Abasiophilia: love of (or sexual attraction to) people who use leg braces or other orthopaedic appliances Acousticophilia: sexual arousal from certain sounds Acrotomophilia: love of (or sexual attraction to) amputees Agalmatophilia: sexual attraction to statues or mannequins or immobility Algolagnia: sexual pleasure from pain Amaurophilia: sexual arousal by a partner whom one is unable to see due to artificial means, such as being blindfolded or having sex in total darkness.
