News of Paraphilias Forum

My son has a great few disturbing and odd sexual tenancies. Ever since he was little he would masturbate in inappropriate situations and in public, because of his young age me and my wife figured it had to be sort of normal for a child to be "discovering" themselves. So we tried to explain to him that it was wrong, although our talks never seemed to discourage him.
At 14 he had pretty much isolated ...

This article, about Aaron Vega's campaign to outlaw necrophilia in Massachusetts, offers a lot of food for thought about attitudes towards the dead.

John Troyer, a lecturer at the University of Bath, argues that the law does not attribute 'personhood' to the dead, and that the use of the word 'rape' or even 'sexual assault' when it comes to necrophilia is debatable.

When you die, you lose your status as a person, Troyer explains, although ...

I would like to propose a survey that I don't think I have seen here before, but I might be wrong, and I am open to further suggestions before posting the actual survey. It concerns our early environment as children. So if any do have anything they would like to see added then I am willing to listen. I don't know if anything could be learnt from this survey, but if it got the same ...

I didnt know whether to post this in OCD or this forum but I figured it belonged on here. I turned 17 in April and my last months of being 16 and my 17th year have been pretty anxiety and depressed filled. I'm going to tell you a few things about myself before I get to the main problem. I think I have OCD I'm not diagnosed with it but I'd say I do have ...

Hi,

I am new to this and very nervous about posting here. I never really share this stuff with anyone but I am having a very miserable life because I am so sexually charged and feeling so guilty about it.

I am deeply introspective and not in the slightest bit naive about what I am going through. I am actually in my late 30s and have been suffering badly now for a good 12 years ...

Hello. :)

I'm a girl (this already can seem a bit surprising x) ). English is not my native language, therefore I beg your pardon if I had made mistakes (my post could be a bit long, so I hope I will not bother you too much ^^)

I don't think child molestors are bad people. I mean I don't think "sexual abuse" should be considered as ...

Hello everyone,

First, I must admit that I do feel unsafe posting here, even with all the measures of online anonymity I can think of being put to use in doing so. I have been lurking for a few days, and I read about how one user was visited by police after his first few posts. I can only conclude that this means that his internet service provider must be reporting to the authorities. I ...

I'm a non exclusive pedophile, and despite getting a lot of help at a 12 step sex addict group, I find myself fantasizing and staring at little girls more and more. I havn't masterbated to children in over a month, but it seems like that lack of relief is creating more stress in my life and I have no way of getting rid of it. I masterbate reguarly to "normal" porn", but that seems to ...

Hello everyone. I'm new, but I'm excited to be here. I've been looking for a place where I can openly discuss my most distressing psychological issue for a long time now. Maybe I'm paranoid but I feel like, if anyone were to find out, I would be stigmatized, ostracized and generally f'd by society in every way possible. There's so much hatred for people like me out there. But I really need to talk about ...

I just recently got married to a 34 year old man who is very educated and hardworking, I am 25 years old. He has never really been with any woman before me. He was a former swim coach and teacher and had kept srong ties and friendships with a lot of his students, boys and girls. The ages range from 5-22. I've never got angry at him for this, it's his right and I'm not ...
