par·a·phil·i·a

/ˌperəˈfilyə/
(‘philia’ ; “love” “affection”) (‘para’ ; “beyond” “abnormal”)

Paraphilias have existed throughout human history, appearing as early as ancient Greek mythology and continuing into modern society. I have long been interested in the full range of paraphilic classifications, due to my own struggles with sexual compulsions related. I created this website to provide a space for individuals to share their personal experiences with unconventional sexual attractions— topics that are often misunderstood, or stigmatized in the eyes of the public. This website serves as a platform for research, education, with the goal of fostering understanding rather than judgment.

This website is still a work in progress, but I hope you enjoy what’s here so far. All interviews and memoirs will be published on this site and made available to the public. Interviewees may choose to remain anonymous for security and privacy reasons. Please note that some of the material may be challenging or distressing to read. Viewer discretion is advised.
