Biastophilia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biastophilia (from Greek biastes, "rape" + -philia) and its Latin language-derived counterpart, raptophilia (from Latin rapere, "to seize"), also paraphilic rape[1], refer to a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is dependent on, or is responsive to, the act of assaulting an unconsenting person, especially a stranger.[2][3]
Some dictionaries consider the terms synonymous,[4] while others distinguish raptophilia as the paraphilia in which sexual arousal is responsive to actually raping the victim.[5]
The source of the arousal in these paraphilias is the terrified resistance to the assault, [6] and in this respect it is considered to be a form of sexual sadism.[1]
