== Etymology == Coinage of the term ''paraphilia'' (''paraphilie'') has been credited to [[Friedrich Salomon Krauss]] in 1903 and it was used with some regularity by [[Wilhelm Stekel]] in the 1920s.<ref name="stekel">{{cite book |last=Stekel |first=Wilhelm |title=Sexual Aberrations: The Phenomenon of Fetishism in Relation to Sex |publisher=[[Boni & Liveright]] |year=2004 |isbn=978-1-4179-3834-6 |edition=translated from the 1922 original German |location=New York City |translator-last=Parker |translator-first=S. |author-link=Wilhelm Stekel |orig-year=1930}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Gherovici |first1=Patricia |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pggqDwAAQBAJ&dq=paraphilia+english+coined&pg=PA48 |title=Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference – Patricia Gherovici – Google Books |date=2017-07-14 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-1-317-59418-5 |accessdate=2022-10-08}}</ref> The term comes from the [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] παρά (''para''), meaning 'other' or 'outside of', and φιλία (''[[-philia]]''), meaning 'loving'.<ref name="wiederman2003" /> The word was popularized by [[John Money]] in the 1980s as a non-[[pejorative]] designation for unusual sexual interests.
