There is very little certainty about what causes a paraphilia. Psychoanalysts generally theorize that these conditions represent a regression to or a fixation. behaviorists suggest, instead, that the paraphilia begins via a process of conditioning.

Are paraphilias considered problematic?

I once read a book by James Benoit, Sex Murder and Paraphilia, that stated,"To guarantee the survival of the human species, nature made the act of procreation the most enticing of all proclivities. Associating sex with any other act, habit or ritual, will develop into an incurable aberration-A paraphilia. The association of sex with violence or death is a common denominator among serial killers. Those that are afflicted with such paraphilia are helpless, and incurable. Their friends and families are hopeless. The unfortunate who become the object of their depraved fantasies are helpless, and doomed.- Dr. Van Prague."Hence, Paraphilias are and always will be problematic.That paragraph gives you a good idea of the outcomes of paraphilia. Don't go there, if you are afflicted by a paraphilia, try your very best to walk, don't and never stop fighting it.
