People can classify themselves as heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, metrosexual. There are endless sexual orientations under the sun, and now, pedophilia can be added to the list.
In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V), the American Psychological Association (APA) drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality. http://www.neontommy.com/news/2013/10/pedophilia-sexual-orientation Metrosexual is not a sexual orientation though. The name is misleading. A metrosexual is a heterosexual man (usually) who spends a lot of money on clothes and appearance. I just had to point that out. |
