- Voyeurism refers to the paraphilia of a recurring urge to secretly watch others undress or engage in sexual activities without their knowledge or consent.

- Frotteurism is the recurring compulsion to rub one's genitals against a nonconsenting person for sexual arousal and, typically, orgasm.
- Sexual sadism, the recurring compulsive urge to inflict pain and humiliation for sexual gratification, is named for the Marquis de Sade, an eighteenth-century French author and aristocrat who spent much of his adult life imprisoned for engaging in and writing about his particularly violent form of sexual expression.
- Pedophilia refers to the pattern of exploitation of prepubescent children for an adult's sexual purposes.
