Paraphilia facts
Paraphilias are emotional disorders defined as sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors that are recurrent, intense, occur over a period of at least six months, and cause significant distress or interfere with important areas of functioning.
- Except for masochism, paraphilias are almost exclusively diagnosed in men.
- There are a number of different types of paraphilias, each of which has a different focus of the sufferer’s sexual arousal.
- There are thought to be biological, psychological, and social risk factors for developing paraphilias.
- While the desired sexual stimulant for the paraphilia sufferer depends on the specific paraphilia, the characteristics of the illness are often very similar.
- In order to establish the diagnosis of a paraphilia, mental-health professionals usually conduct or refer the person for a medical interview, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests. The professional will assess for any history of mental-health symptoms.
- Treatment of paraphilias usually involves the combination of psychotherapy and medication.
- Paraphilias have been found to be quite chronic, such that a minimum of two years of treatment is recommended for even the mildest paraphilia.
- Prevention for the development of any paraphilic behavior usually involves alleviating the psychosocial risk factors for its development.
