Biastophilia
Template:Short description Biastophilia (from Greek biastes, "rapist" + -philia) and its Latin-derived synonym raptophilia (from Latin rapere, "to seize"), also paraphilic rape,<ref name=blackburn/> is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is dependent on, or is responsive to, the act of assaulting an unconsenting person, especially a stranger.<ref name="Corsini">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Flora">Template:Cite book</ref> Some dictionaries consider the terms synonymous,<ref>Eric W. Hickey, "Encyclopedia of Murder & Violent Crime", Template:ISBN (2003) p. 347</ref> while others distinguish raptophilia as the paraphilia in which sexual arousal is responsive to actually raping the victim.<ref name="Holmes">Template:Cite book</ref>
Type of sexual sadism
The source of the arousal in these paraphilias is the victim's terrified resistance to the assault,<ref>Raymond J. Corsini "The Dictionary of Psychology", Template:ISBN (1999) p. 692</ref> and in this respect it is considered to be a form of sexual sadism.<ref name=blackburn>Ronald Blackburn, "The Psychology of Criminal Conduct: Theory, Research and Practice" (1993)Template:ISBN, p. 87</ref>
Inclusion as diagnosis in DSM and ICD
Under the name paraphilic coercive disorder, this diagnosis was proposed for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> This diagnosis, under the name paraphilic rapism, was proposed and rejected in the DSM-III-R.<ref>Thomas K. Zander. Inventing diagnosis for civil commitment of rapists. Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, 36, 459–469.</ref> The diagnosis has been included, however, in the International Classification of Diseases as "other paraphilic disorder involving non-consenting individuals."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
It has been criticized because of the impossibility of reliably distinguishing between paraphilic rapists and non-paraphilic rapists, and because of this diagnosis, under the term Paraphilia NOS (not otherwise specified), non-consent had been used in Sexually Violent Person/Predator commitment.<ref>Frances, Allen. 2010.
