Description
Summary:Sexual interest is something most people begin to experience in early adolescence. Learning about one's feelings and attractions is part of growing up. For many people, these sexual feelings will manifest themselves into sexual activity with a consenting adult. However, for some individuals, these interests may fall outside the parameters of cultural norms, or what is considered socially acceptable to others. This could involve sexual desires or behavior toward inanimate objects or animals, those that entail humiliation or punishment, or even those that are directed toward nonconsenting individuals, such as children. When certain of these desires are acted upon, or when they cause significant distress to an individual, then that person may be dealing with a paraphilic disorder.
