Yeah, I agree. I guess I shouldn't have put fetish in there. But look at this definition of the word "Paraphilia":
- any sexual deviation, which is considered abnormal in some societies or which may prevent or hinder one's ability to receive reciprocal love
60 years ago, homosexuality was considered a mental defect, some kind of disease. It was on the list of paraphilias. But now, it has been removed.
But judging by that definition, it could definitely still be called a paraphilia. If we take apart the word, it's pretty easy.
Para means "other", "outside" or something to that effect, and Philia comes from the word Philos which means "love".
So, I'm guessing that's something like "Different sexuality". Why the fuck does this word even exist? And even then, why does it have such negative connotations?
