Welcome. Please read before posting.

Welcome to the Paraphilias Forum. As the Red Warning above the forum states this section contains discussions of a sexual nature, some of which are explicit. The topics discussed may be offensive to some people. Please try to keep this in mind before reading.

Because this is a sensitive forum, there are some ground rules for everyone to keep safe and for discussions here to stay healthy:
* Normalizing pedophilia is not allowed.
* Keep in mind that the purpose of this site is to support people in staying non-offending. You are not permitted to post images or use avatars that pertain to or suggest that it is not harmful to act upon paraphilias such as pedophilia, necrophilia and zoophilia.
* Links and images that depict, describe or advocate illegal actions are not allowed. Links and images that you feel may be appropriate to post should first be looked at by a Paraphilias moderator, whom you can PM.
* Please use a Trigger Warning when discussing things you feel may trigger others. This includes things like very graphic descriptions of paraphilic fantasies.
* Civil discussions are encouraged but please remember to keep respectful and understanding of the other person(s). Name calling and disrespectful behavior is not tolerated here.
* While non-paraphilic posters are welcome to ask questions here, please remember that the main focus of this forum is to be a supportive place for those who experience paraphilic fantasies. When asking questions, also try to be aware of the impact receiving the open and honest answers you may get may generate in you as your life experiences and views can differ heavily and keep this in mind before deciding to post.

Another thing that comes up here quite often is the topic of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If you have a question about your obsessive compulsive thoughts or you are wondering if your thoughts are that of an OCD sufferer, those questions are best posed in the OCD Forum. This is so that the Paraphilia Forum is not overwhelmed by questions from people with an issue that they may or may not know anything about so that this stays a supportive and understanding place for those who have Paraphilias or otherwise have questions pertaining to paraphilias, fetishes, BDSM and so forth.

Please keep in mind before posting that no matter what the topic or paraphilia mentioned, this is a support site and that it is against forum rules to personally attack other members. We are all here, in some way or another, to get and/or give support, and this is something we all need to afford all members here.
