Abstract
Paraphilia and paraphilic disorders now around the world occupy
an important position in medicine. The aetiology of paraphilia is
debated with no confirmed definitions. This cross sectional study aimed
to estimate the level of interest (desire and experience) in paraphilic
behaviours among 200 adult men and 200 women in general population
recruited through internet. Cautions was taken to protect identity and
privacy of who accept to share. The overall prevalence of paraphilic
behaviours experience was found 21% with prevalence 42% in men and
7.5% among women. The most common paraphilic experience was
frotteurism then voyeurism followed by fetishism then pedophilia.
They were significantly higher in male than female. Masochism in
female was the 20% from all paraphilic behaviours among female while
in men it was 4%. The rate of paedophilia was 7.5% in men and zero in
women. This rate in our community should be considered alarming
specially every now and then there are news about rape of a young child.
In current study, 12.5% of males had more than one paraphilic
behaviour experience They are all drug addicts / alcoholics or both. The
prevalence pf paraphilic behaviors were slightly higher in urban than
rural and this may be due to urban has more access to technology. In the
current study the history of employment, education and smoking has no
relation to paraphilia. On the other site, drug addiction and alcohol are
associated with paraphilia.
