Disclosure.
In writing this page, I cited one of my own RS's within the guidelines permitted by WP:COI. I am nonetheless noting it here for any editors who would like to check it for appropriateness and due weight, etc.— James Cantor (talk) 22:11, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Ummm so this can be a sexual disorder?
So how can this this type of sex 've a disorder, or any consenting adult sexual fantasy be a disorder, I mean if you have child pornography or into harming an innocent child or non consenting adult I can see it as a disgusting disorder but really we are talking about this fetish of consent to pleasure your own sexual desires... anyone else agree Rockyrico1987 (talk) 22:40, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

WP:Student editing
MoetDaPoet, regarding this, I ask that you do not add unfinished versions such as that from your sandbox. Be careful not to capitalize things that should not be capitalized; for example, it should be "Sexual sadism disorder," not "'Sexual Sadism Disorder." Be careful to not unnecessarily remove sources from the lead. Be careful to watch your tone; see WP:Tone.

And keep in mind that we need to stick to WP:MEDRS-compliant sources for biomedical material. For example, we should typically avoid primary sources. See WP:Primary sources and WP:SCHOLARSHIP.

Also, peer review is not the same thing as literature review. Please read and study WP:MEDRS. It is clear about the type of sourcing you should be using, and this begins with its introduction: "Ideal sources for biomedical information include: review articles (especially systematic reviews) published in reputable medical journals; academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant fields and from respected publishers; and guidelines or position statements from national or international expert bodies. Primary sources should generally not be used for medical content – as such sources often include unreliable or preliminary information, for example early in vitro results which don't hold in later clinical trials." You should be looking for secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, tertiary sources. You can look on Google Books if that will help. It often helps me. If you haven't looked on PubMed, look on there as well.

If you reply to this, there is no need to WP:Ping me since this page is on my watchlist. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 14:52, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Lifeless objects
Sadism on lifeless objects which belong to a person, such as clothes, how is this categorized? Is this (some sort of) Fetishism? DannyCaes (talk) 18:01, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
