The world of sex continues to exist, despite the fact that we are in the XXI century and in the context of a society that advocates the sexual freedom of its individuals, surrounded by a lot of stigma and many taboos. We still have a hard time talking openly about sex and even we feel ashamed when we talk about our tastes and preferences in bed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But if there is a concept that, within this stigma, generates even more controversy, it is that of \u201cparaphilia\u201d. Paraphilic disorders are thought patterns that involve frequent and intense desires and sexual fantasies of arousal type towards situations, activities, objects or people that are out of the ordinary or considered \"normal\".<\/p>\n

And although it is totally true that some of them are considered pathological behaviors that, in some cases, can cause people to commit crimes, the truth is that many of them are not harmful to the person or to their sexual partners and they are, after all, part of human sexual nature.<\/p>\n

Thus, in today's article and with the aim of both knowing the pathological paraphilias that require psychological intervention and seeing that not all of them are something that should be eradicated, we are going to explore the characteristics of the most common paraphilic disorders in the world<\/strong>. Let us begin.<\/p>\n

What are the most common paraphilic disorders?<\/h2>\n

Paraphilias are thought patterns that consist of the intense and frequent presence of sexual behaviors or fantasies of arousal type towards atypical activities, people or objects<\/strong>. Even so, it is a complex term to define, as there is still debate as to whether these paraphilias have to be found in diagnostic manuals for psychological disorders.<\/p>\n

And it is still not clear where the line is between a simple unusual sexual interest and a paraphilic disorder as such. Until 1987, the year in which the American Psychiatric Association modified the words, they spoke of \"perversion.\" But since then, the concept to refer to this pattern of thought and \/ or behavior is that of paraphilia.<\/p>\n

Be that as it may, we can understand paraphilias as patterns of sexual behavior where the main source of pleasure is not found in the sexual relationship itself, but in activities, people, situations or objects that go beyond what we consider normal. Generally, to speak of paraphilia, these thoughts must become obsessive. And although more than 500 different ones are known, there are some especially frequent paraphilias<\/strong>. Let's see some of them.<\/p>\n

1. Sadomasochism<\/h3>\n

Sadomasochism is a type of paraphilia in which the person feels sexual arousal causing (or receiving) physical or psychological suffering<\/strong> in your sexual partner. As long as it is a consensual practice and the limits are clear, there is nothing wrong with it, but it consists of tying, exercising domination, whipping parts of the body, etc.<\/p>\n
