I wanted a void the shout into about distress

anyone is welcome provided we are all here in good faith.

Using the frame work of:

In DSM-III through DSM-5, a number of basic paraphilic disorders have been described in which clinical distress is caused by urges, fantasies, and behaviors toward certain objects, nonsexual body parts (i.e., fetishes), non consenting individuals, or activities.

reference : https://safersociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Paraphilias-in-DSM-5.pdf

I am

pro consent and destigmatization of paraphilias.

against abuse and harassment

paraphilias cannot be cured. more benefit by learning to cope with thoughts healithy rather than repressing them

post will be edited as needed. i struggle with writing and formatting.

uhhh idk. Do not assume things about me. ask if you must. please be specific and clear if critiquing.

He/It. CDD system. born with paraphilias. non of mine personally are developed because of trauma.

(making this post because i've seen ppl both in and outside the para community confused with this)

"recovery" in the paraphile community was NEVER meant to mean "conversion therapy"! its only paramisics who use it that way!

💗"pro recovery for disordered / harmful to act upon paraphilias" doesnt mean conversion therapy!

when something is a disorder, it means it causes distress and/or significant impairment in daily functioning. when something is "pro recovery" it means to , well, recover. which that doesnt mean getting rid of the attraction, it means getting rid of / alleviating the distress and impairment.

in which, by the way, a part of alleviating distress surrounding a paraphilic attraction is by understanding it and accepting it, and self love. hating yourself for your paraphilia will make it worse and more likely for you to hurt other people and ultimately yourself.

neutrality is the baseline, as all attractions & emotions & internal feelings are morally neutral. but in a society with such heavy stigma and hatred towards paraphiles, you might feel as if you'll never be loved. thats why i recommend choosing self love and expression. because in a world where you are hated for an attraction you didn't chose to have, you need to be there for yourself . 💗

why brain

why do brain i have attraction and arousal but for something but is also distressing and causes me suicidal ideation at the thought of or even looking at. i have a habit of avoiding even looking at animals mating in documentarys because it gets to my head. I hate feeling to easily distressed.

I hate being a Faunoiphilie distressed by my attraction.

[distressedparathoughts]

distress sometimes looks like for ne think on loop that "i should die" and variations bc I see a "callout" of someone that is a zoo in some way simply for expressing they have a thought and attraction to "feral" fictional animals. while no proof or reference to them hurting anyone or anything. just pointing and saying "this person is a zoophilie and doesn't belong here"

[distressedparathoughts]

distress is also trying to not spiral over seeing blogs using irl imagery of animals and talking ab "beast content"

i hate being aroused by something and my brain switching to suicidal

Anti-Contact Incestophile Flag

I am personally distressed by my attraction and wanted to have a flag alternative that is about being personally anti-contact.

The colors general meanings were intended to be the middle stripe representing distressing or disordered attractions and being personally anti contact. the the spectrum of colors representing different types of family members and dynamic of any and all kind.

This flag is pro kink/RACK and pro fiction. We Believe in harm reduction and in-system and/or plural expressions of incest relationships are ok and can be healthy.

Some anti-abuse paraphilia flags

!!tw: mention of death!! cw: mention of necrophilia

anti-abuse autonecrophilia

Autonecrophilia is being aroused by the idea of someone fucking them when they're dead. The anti-abuse stance stands for being against any form of abuse or harmful behaviour, specifically in the context of paraphilias tho it can be applied to other topics as well.

anti-abuse necrophilia

Necrophilia is the attraction towards dead people.

One who is dead can't consent. Necrophilia can be engaged with through fantasy, fiction or roleplay.

The anti-abuse stance stands for being against any form of abuse or harmful behaviour, specifically in the context of paraphilias tho it can be applied to other topics as well.

Kink play should not cost someone's life or generally put them in serious danger even if they want it. That just isn't worth it. Fantasies, fiction and roleplays should be enough for that.

This is not radqueer.

Anti-Abuse Harmony Necrozoo Flag

a combination of an anti abuse necrophilia flag + harmony zoophilia flag

basically i just flipped the necro flag and averaged the colors with the zoo flag. i redid the colors for the final version because the harmony flag got an updated upload with more accurate colors - so the final versions are a little more saturated

The bass-zeta and "v" are copied from the zoo flag and necro flag respectively. Another idea for a symbol is an animal skull.

You're not hurting anyone by engaging in your paraphilia through fiction. You're free to do whatever you want with imagination and art, and nobody is getting hurt.
