Here a concise gallery for a quick tour through some of the paraphilia shirts
The concept is rather simple.
Paraphilia (in Greek para παρά = besides and -philia φιλία = love) refers to any powerful and persistent sexual interest other than sexual interest in copulatory or precopulatory behavior with phenotypically normal, consenting adult human partners.
Psychologists and psychiatrists codified paraphilias as disorders in the 1980 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The DSM describes them as conditions which “are characterized by recurrent, intense sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors that involve unusual objects, activities, or situations and cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning”. Sexual arousal in association with objects that were designed for sexual purposes is not DSM diagnosable.
Psychiatrist Glen Gabbard writes that despite efforts by Stekel and Money, “the term paraphilia remains pejorative in most circumstances.”
The view of paraphilias as disorders is not universal. Charles Moser, a physician and advocate for sexual minorities, has argued that the diagnoses should be eliminated.
Groups seeking greater understanding and acceptance of sexual diversity have lobbied for changes to the legal and medical status of unusual sexual interests and practices.
(from wikipedia)
Although we gnerally think to philias as something regarding deviant people, this is actually not the case. In some extents (in all extents), we all are deviant. We all have our philias to entertain our subconscious (and not so subconscious) mind.
