from VfD:
This page is redundant with Paraphilia. It should be merged into that article if there's anything here worth saving. -- Beland 01:28, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep since both are valid names, but one should be a redir to the other. List this issue here: Duplicate articles -- D AVODD  [[User_talk:Davodd|« TALK »]] 06:45, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * The content is patent nonsense. Redirect it now if need be, and be done with it. 129.94.6.28 06:46, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Not quite the same thing as paraphilia although closely related. Agree it needs work. Andrewa 13:17, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment - Psychosexual more often refers to Freud's theory of psychosexual development. Darksun 18:28, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to paraphilia.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 02:44, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Darksun is right: "psychosexual disorder" is 100% psychoanalysis, and Freudian to boot. The problem is that this article isn't about the Freudian theories and how they dominate(d) psychiatry.  VfD is not the right place to ask for a rewrite, and Clean Up probably won't do it.  Therefore, delete because a redirect is not on target: this topic is Freudianism, and redirecting it to the more behaviorist and descriptive paraphilia is a bit of a mislead. Geogre 13:14, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Rewrite to handle Geogre's concerns. If it's a notable concept in Freudian psychology, which I believe it is, then deleting it is a bad idea. I don't understand his objection to rewriting except that perhaps he thinks they won't do it correctly. --Improv 19:04, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * So I Googled around a bit, and this term appears to be in common use to refer to any sex-related psychological disorder. The content currently on this page is certainly already covered in Paraphilia, but if we are going to leave a redirect behind, I would actually recommend Sexual problems, which includes paraphilia and many other things listed by the DSM.  It would not be inappropriate to include a note there about Freudian psychology and its theories and terminology of sexual disorder. But it's probably best to discuss those disorders somewhere other than under "Psychosexual disorder". -- Beland 04:03, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete The current contents comprise two paragraphs that don't say much. Psychosexual disorders could include an enormous amount of information. Paraphilia is just one small section of the area. For instance, premature ejaculation is a sexual disorder that is most certainly not a paraphilia although they could coexist. I have recently gone through creating DSM type categories and have included Category:Sexual and gender identity disorder which has 11 subcategories. There is currently not an article with that heading. I was wondering what to do with Category:paraphilia which seems a bit disorganised at present. It really should be a subcategory of sexual and gender identity disorder in addition to any other categories in which it belongs. --CloudSurfer 05:31, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve - this is a complex and large field and deserves a better article than this. Intrigue 17:00, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Removing "O'Sullivan Syndrome"
I removed the sentence, "A classic example of such a disorder is 'O'Sullivan syndrome', in which the victim is overcome with a desire to fornicate with armed forces servicemen" as this is obviously bogus. A Internet search reveals no such syndrome. Someone obviously has inserted this in here to diss a woman with the surname O'Sullivan.Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 14:07, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
