Talk:List of paraphilias

A revert I'm unhappy with
I added the following at the outset: Recently-coined names for paraphilias (abasiophilia, algolagnia, etc.) typically have a Greek origin.

This was reverted by EvergreenFir because it was not documented.

Documentation is not required for items easily verifiable. Anyone who goes to a dictionary can see these terms are coined from Greek. Is a source saying so really required?

Ailurophilia links to an article about the platonic love of cats
Also, a potential sexual attraction to cats would be covered under zoophilia. 217.180.201.235 (talk) 03:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Ray Blanchard's typology
I feel like autogynephilia and autoandrophilia are a poor fit for this page. They are, I would argue, pseudo-scientific concepts invented by Ray Blanchard to explain the existence of transgender people. I do not think they are legitimate paraphilias in and of themselves. 217.180.201.235 (talk) 16:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Fictophilia is not considered a paraphilia, according to the source cited.
The source does not specify that fictoromanticism or fictophilia is considered a psychological paraphilia. In fact, it states that it is currently not listed as one of these, and that not enough is known to consider it one. This entry should be removed from the list of paraphilias.

Source text: "Second, the present intention is not to propose fictophilia as a problem or a disorder. At the time of writing, fictophilia is not recognized or proposed as a specific diagnostic condition by the World Health Organization (ICD-11) or the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) (but see ‘paraphilia’ in both manuals). Our findings do not indicate a need to change the current state of affairs. GrilledSoup (talk) 20:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Transvestophilia
The description for it shouldn't be "A cross-dressing partner", considering it redirects to "Attraction to transgender people". Cross-dressing doesnt make you trans. I think that either this should have the description changed, or make a new section thing for it Smirkjuice (talk) 01:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
