	== ~~Hypnosis~~ as a paraphilia ==		== Fictophilia is not considered a paraphilia, according to the source cited. ==

			The source does not specify that fictoromanticism or fictophilia is considered a psychological paraphilia. In fact, it states that it is currently not listed as one of these, and that not enough is known to consider it one. This entry should be removed from the list of paraphilias.
	Here is a recent essay by Distinguished Psychology professor ] describing unusual sexual arousal from hypnosis as a paraphilia <ref name=griffiths>{{cite web \|url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-excess/201612/hypnosis-and-sexual-health \|title=Hypnosis And Sexual Health \|last=Griffiths \|first=Mark D. \|date=2016-12-14 \|website=] \|publisher= \|access-date=2020-02-10 \|quote=}}</ref>. It does not appear in the DSM-5 as a paraphilia, but there are a number of case studies in the psychiatric literature that establish the existence of individuals with "experience of intense sexual arousal" to atypical fantasies about hypnosis, e.g.: <ref name=merrill>{{cite journal \|last1=Merrill \|first1=George G. \|last2= \|first2= \|date=1957 \|title=Sexual complications of hypnosis \|url= \|journal=Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis \|volume=5 \|issue=3 \|pages=138-146 \|doi=10.1080/00207145708410731 \|access-date= }}</ref>
	{{Quote
	\|text=To many hypnotic subjects, hypnosis has strong sexual connotations. Freud ( 2 ) recognized this and mentioned the similarity between the states of hypnosis and of being in love. Sciiilder and Kanders(3) stress the erotic aspects of hypnosis and warn that sexual accusations may be made against the therapist. Speyer and Stokvis(4) studied the sexual fantasies of the hypnotic subject, and emphasized the importance of the subject’s erotic attitudes toward the therapist. Lorand(5) pointed out the subject’s unconscious desire for seduction by the hypnotist and correlated hypnotizability with yielding to the one from whom love was expected. Wolberg(6) also mentions the sexual attitude toward hypnosis in patients who have strong unconscious sexual needs. Kline(7) describes some types of sexual reactions during hypnotherapy and discusses their nature.}}

	It is medical folklore from bygone days. Diagnosing someone with pictophilia is malpractice.

	DSM-5 code for pornography use? Not any. ICD-10 code for pornography use? Not any. ICD-11 code for pornography use? Not any. So, of course it isn't paraphilia. There is a code for OCD, there is none for pictophilia.

	On page 705 of DSM-5, pictophilia would have been the most obvious paraphilia to mention, but it did not get mentioned.

	That would have solved the whole dispute about the existence of the porn addiction. There is no consensus that porn addiction exists. ] (]) 15:43, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

You need to cite sources about pictophilia to change that text. <span style="font-family:Palatino">]</span> <sup>]</sup> 04:53, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

A revert I'm unhappy with

I added the following at the outset: Recently-coined names for paraphilias (abasiophilia, algolagnia, etc.) typically have a Greek origin.

This was reverted by EvergreenFir because it was not documented.

Documentation is not required for items easily verifiable. Anyone who goes to a dictionary can see these terms are coined from Greek. Is a source saying so really required?

Fictophilia is not considered a paraphilia, according to the source cited.

The source does not specify that fictoromanticism or fictophilia is considered a psychological paraphilia. In fact, it states that it is currently not listed as one of these, and that not enough is known to consider it one. This entry should be removed from the list of paraphilias.

Transvestophilia

The description for it shouldn't be "A cross-dressing partner", considering it redirects to "Attraction to transgender people". Cross-dressing doesnt make you trans.
