Abstrakt
Sexual pathology or disorders of sexual preference refer to persistent and intense sexual interests lasting at least 6 months, where sexual arousal is in response to atypical fantasies, behaviors, objects, situations, or partners. These behaviors, fantasies, or urges can cause distress, interpersonal difficulties, or functional disorders and usually involve non-consenting persons, nonhuman objects, juveniles, or the infliction of humiliation and suffering.
