Kink & Fetish in the DSM

• BDSM

Time for a new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, which defines more or less the official list and descriptions of mental illness in the US.

Those of us with atypical behavior would probably all agree that:

… all paraphilias, like sexual sadism, sexual masochism, transvestism, should be removed from the DSM, insisting that “the DSM criteria for diagnosis of unusual sexual interests as pathological rests on a series of unproven and more importantly, untested assumptions.”

Controversy erupts over creation of psychiatric rule book’s new edition

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Kink & Fetish in the DSM. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
