main types of paraphilia
Conditionally sexual deviation are classified by subject and by the process of the implementation of attraction.In the first case, or the excitement of fantasy appear in relation to non-traditional object, the second is the method of removing an atypical sexual arousal.

Depending on the method of satisfying sexual desire are the most common types of deviation as follows:

- satiriazis and nymphomania - increased arousal, respectively, for men and women;

There are many other deviations in sex: masturbation, petting, transvestism, early sexual activity.To list them all does not make sense.It is much more important to understand what lies at the heart of this abnormal behavior.
Causes of paraphilia
exact reasons for provoking sexual deviation, has not been fully explored.In addition to the deviations in the psyche, can play a role heredity, and disruption of the endocrine system, and even pathology and brain injury.Quite often the impetus for the development of paraphilia are deviations in the process of development and education, including sex.However, the highlight one specific cause of the violation of sexual preferences is not possible.More often talk about the complex inter-related factors, when the appearance of deviant behavior is preceded by the formation of reflex connections in response to a sexual stimulus in puberty and the onset of sexual activity.
danger of sexual deviations
degree of manifestation of paraphilia is different.Some types of deviation does not cause much discomfort to others and, by and large, are specific to their representatives (homosexuality).Others may be regarded as a moral and ethical causing damage or violate the rules of decency, but overall pretty harmless (exhibitionism, voyeurism).Still others may pose a real threat to the lives and safety of others and punishable by law (pedophilia, incest).
between certain norms and deviation there is a very fine line.The same effect can be seen differently.For example, any sexual acts in the presence of mutual consent of the partners could be considered a face of the norm, but the same actions, accompanied by coercion, the discomfort of a party, or used as a means of punishment, suppression will be considered from the point of deviation.
Treatment paraphilia
A person experiencing abnormal cravings for something, there may be problems in relationships with family, and public understanding, the recognition itself.And yet, in most cases, sexual deviations do not require any form of medical intervention.
only in situations where unusual addiction hinder normal life, lead to isolation from society, provoke guilt and suicidal intentions, we can talk about the need for treatment.However, it's not about the correction of sexual behavior and not on the Elimination of "harmful" addiction, but rather the adoption of the individual himself, his personality, especially their sexual behavior.
treatment aimed at the suppression of deviations will occur only when a person can not control their sexual proclivities and starts delivering the surrounding inconvenience, if not pose a risk to their health and life.
