A paraphilia is an abnormal sexual behavior on the part of a person, who feels excitement towards specific and not very common situations, people, beings or objects. It is not about a particular inclination or taste, but rather those who present them feel true pleasure related to the object of their desire.
Although some paraphilias are harmless, others can often cause harm to the daily life of those who experience them. This is because many sexual paraphilias constitute crimes and can cause harm to the people involved in them, as is the case of pedophilia, zoophilia or sexual masochism.
