Anti Contact Paraphilia - Tumblr Posts

; this seems to be a misconception so:

; pro-para does not mean pro-c !!

pt: pro-para does not mean pro-c :end pt

; there's a HUGE difference between the two and it's infuriating that people don't bother to learn that. Pro-para essentially means you don't hold ableist ideologies against paraphiliac disorders and you believe not all paraphiles are inherently abusive, etc. Plus believe they should be allowed to exist in society safely. ( which is TRUE !! Paraphiliac disorders are categorized by recurrent and intense sexually arousing fantasies / urges etc that are immoral or distressing involving things such as children, non-consenting adults, animals, etc. They are psychiatric disorders and therapy is recommended in situations where it's uncontrollable / is a danger to yourself or others. ) Pro-CONTACT is what you should avoid, pro-c is believing it's okay for paraphiles to act immorally / illegally relating to their disorder and is anti-recovery since it denies the necessity of therapy / recovery in instances of being in harm of oneself or others. You can be pro-para and not be pro-contact. It's important to be pro-para and understand what such disorders really are if we want to properly destigmatize psychiatric disorders and generally un-normalize ableism.
