Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Coercive Paraphilias: This category of paraphilias poses a risk to victims who may be unaware of what is going on or are unable to give consent to a sexual interaction.
Voyeurism: The act of secretly watching someone undress or engage in some kind of intimate or sexual behavior.
Exhibitionism: The act of exposing genitals to unsuspecting victims for the purpose of sexual arousal.
Frotteurism: The act of rubbing one's genitals against another person.
Pedophilia: Sexual urges and gratification related to minors, especially prepubertal females and males. According to federal and state laws, minors cannot consent to a sexual act with an adult. By definition, then, coercion must be involved.
Noncoercive Paraphilias: In this category of paraphilias, coercion is not involved. Because of this difference, the burden of diagnosis is based upon the paraphiliac feeling distress and other signs of internal conflict that disrupt typical functioning.
Sadism: The act of inflicting pain on one's sexual partner, to create sexual pleasure for the person inflicting the pain.
Masochism: The act of inflicting pain on oneself for the purpose of pleasure. In fact, S and M behaviors are difficult to categorize as either coercive or noncoercive because they may or may not involve distress to the individual or pose a problem of consent, because some adults willingly consent to these sexual practices.
Sadism is part of many different paraphilias because the impulse to inflict pain and humiliation is a recurrent urge and the act sexually excites the person inflicting the pain.
Transvestic fetishism: A form of fetishism in which a man becomes aroused by wearing women's clothes.
Autoerotic asphyxiophilia: A form of fetishistic arousal from near suffocation.
AB/DL: A type of fetishism in which an adult dresses as a baby and the adult partner treats him or her like a baby; also called paraphilic infantilism.
