I have to tell you guys that IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK.
You don't get to make the definitions. The people who make the dictionaries do. What's the matter, you feel insecure because you're perverted, and you like to do the deeds, but you can't stomach how it is seen by others? YOU ARE WEAK.
The fact that YOU don't think something is a perversion, doesn't make it so. I know, I know, you're thinking who am I to call anyone perverted. Well, I am comfortable and happy I am what I am. I happily perform acts that would turn people's stomachs. That doesn't mean I advertize my sexual activities to vanilla [read repressed] people because I have a reputation to maintain in my community.
For all of you who are uncomfortable with being perverted--and you are--you don't have to worry. The shrinks who are powers that be in psycho babble land have redefined the perversions as "paraphilias", but you know, a rose by any other name. . . .
So, you have paraphilias, which is just the newfangled, politically correct term for perversions. Perversions were never considered "bad" they were simply associated with acts that were unusual in a given culture--but were still a problem. You see, you didn't know what perverted actually meant so you rebelled against it, but you're still a pervert and there is little hope in rehabilitating you.

============================================
You should read all of this to see how full of shit the shrinks are who make the definitions and diagnoses.
Sexual perversions are conditions in which sexual excitement or orgasm with acts or imagery that are considered unusual within the culture. Toavoid problems associated with the stigmatization of labels, the neutral term paraphilia, derived from Greek roots meaning "alongside of" and "love," is used to describe what used to be called sexual perversions. A paraphilia is a condition inwhich a person's sexual arousal and gratification depend on a fantasy theme of an unusual situation or object that becomes the principal focus of sexual behavior.
Paraphilias can revolve around a particular sexual object or a particular act. Theyare defined by DSM-IV as "sexual impulse disorders characterized by intensely arousing, recurrent sexual fantasies, urges and behaviors considered deviant with respect to cultural norms and that produce clinically significant distress orimpairment in social, occupational or other important areas of psychosocial functioning." The nature of a paraphilia is generally specific and unchanging, and most of the paraphilias are far more common in men than in women.
Paraphilias differ from what some people might consider "normal" sexual activity inthat these behaviors cause significant distress or impairment in areas of life functioning. They do not refer to the normal use of sexual fantasy, activity, orobjects to heighten sexual excitement where there is no distress or impairment.The most common signs of sexual activity that can be classified as paraphilia include: the inability to resist an impulse for the sexual act, the requirement of participation by non-consenting or under-aged individuals, legal consequences,resulting sexual dysfunction, and interference with normal social relationships.
Paraphilias include fantasies, behaviors, and/or urges which:
involve nonhuman sexual objects, such as shoes or undergarments
require the suffering or humiliation of oneself or partner
involve children or other non-consenting partners
The most common paraphilias are:
exhibitionism, or exposure of the genitals
fetishism, or the use of nonliving objects
frotteurism, or touching and rubbing against a nonconsenting person
pedophilia, or the focus on prepubescent children
sexual masochism, or the receiving of humiliation or suffering
sexual sadism, or the inflicting of humiliation or suffering
transvestic fetishism, or cross-dressing
voyeurism, or watching others engage in undressing or sexual activity
A paraphiliac often has more than one paraphilia. Paraphilias often result in avariety of associated problems, such as guilt, depression, shame, isolation, and impairment in the capacity for normal social and sexual relationships. A paraphilia can, and often does, become highly idiosyncratic and ritualized.
Causes
There is very little certainty about what causes a paraphilia. Psychoanalysts generally theorize that these conditions represent a regression to or a fixation at anearlier level of psychosexual development resulting in a repetitive pattern of sexualbehavior that is not mature in its application and expression. In other words, anindividual repeats or reverts to a sexual habit arising early in life. Another psychoanalytic theory holds that these conditions are all expressions of hostility inwhich sexual fantasies or unusual sexual acts become a means of obtaining revenge for a childhood trauma. The persistent, repetitive nature of the paraphilia iscaused by an inability to erase the underlying trauma completely. Indeed, a historyof childhood sexual abuse is sometimes seen in individuals with paraphilias.
However, behaviorists suggest, instead, that the paraphilia begins via a process of conditioning. Nonsexual objects can become sexually arousing if they arefrequently and repeatedly associated with a pleasurable sexual activity. The development of a paraphilia is not usually a matter of conditioning alone; there must usually be some predisposing factor, such as difficulty forming person-to-person sexual relationships or poor self-esteem.
The following are situations or causes that might lead someone in a paraphiliac direction:
parents who humiliate and punish a small boy for strutting around with an erectpenis
a young boy who is sexually abused
an individual who is dressed in a woman's clothes as a form of parentalpunishment
fear of sexual performance or intimacy
inadequate counseling
excessive alcohol intake
physiological problems
sociocultural factors
psychosexual trauma
Diagnosis
Whatever the cause, paraphiliacs apparently rarely seek treatment unless they are induced into it by an arrest or discovery by a family member. This makes diagnosis before a confrontation very difficult.
Paraphiliacs may select an occupation, or develop a hobby or volunteer work, thatputs them in contact with the desired erotic stimuli, for example, selling women's shoes or lingerie in fetishism, or working with children in pedophilia. Other coexistent problems may be alcohol or drug abuse, intimacy problems, and personality disturbances, especially emotional immaturity. Additionally, there maybe sexual dysfunctions. Erectile dysfunction and an inability to ejaculate may becommon in attempts at sexual activity without the paraphiliac theme.
Paraphilias may be mild, moderate, or severe. An individual with mild paraphilia is markedly distressed by the recurrent paraphiliac urges but has never acted onthem. The moderate has occasionally acted on the paraphilic urge. A severe paraphiliac has repeatedly acted on the urge.
Treatment
The literature describing treatment is fragmentary and incomplete. Traditional psychoanalysis has not been particularly effective with paraphilia and generally requires several years of treatment. Therapy with hypnosis has also had poo rresults. Current interests focus primarily on several behavioral techniques thatinclude the following:
Aversion imagery involves the pairing of a sexually arousing paraphilic stimuluswith an unpleasant image, such as being arrested or having one's name appear in the newspaper.
Desensitization procedures neutralize the anxiety-provoking aspects of nonparaphilic sexual situations and behavior by a process of gradual exposure.For example, a man afraid of having sexual contact with women his own agemight be led through a series of relaxation procedures aimed at reducing hisanxiety.
Social skills training is used with either of the other approaches and is aimed at improving a person's ability to form interpersonal relationships.
Orgasmic reconditioning may instruct a person to masturbate using hisparaphilia fantasy and to switch to a more appropriate fantasy just at themoment of orgasm.
In addition to these therapies, drugs are sometimes prescribed to treat paraphilic behaviors. Drugs that drastically lower testosterone temporarily (antiandrogens)have been used for the control of repetitive deviant sexual behaviors and havebeen prescribed for paraphilia-related disorders as well. Cyproterone acetateinhibits testosterone directly at androgen receptor sites. In its oral form, the usual prescribed dosage range is 50-200 mg per day.
Serotonergics (drugs that boost levels of the brain chemical serotonin) areprescribed for anxious and depressive symptoms. Of the serotonergic agentsreported, fluoxetine has received the most attention, although lithium,clomipramine, buspirone, and sertraline are reported as effective in case reportsand open clinical trials with outpatients. Other alternative augmentation strategies that may be effective include adding a low dose of a secondary amine tricyclic antidepressant to the primary serotonergics, but these reports are only anecdotal.
Prognosis
Despite more than a decade of experience with psychotherapeutic treatment programs, most workers in the field are not convinced that they have a high degreeof success. Furthermore, because some cases involve severe abuse, many in thegeneral public would prefer to "lock up" the sex offender than to have him out in the community in a treatment program or on parole after the treatment program hasbeen completed.
Paraphilia and paraphilia-related disorders are more prevalent than most clinicians suspect. Since these disorders are cloaked in shame and guilt, the presence ofthese conditions may not be adequately revealed until a therapeutic alliance isfirmly established. Once a diagnosis is established, appropriate education about possible behavioral therapies and appropriate use of psychopharmacological agents can improve the prognosis for these conditions.
