Gamosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. Paraphillias are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the person experiencing them and/or those around them. |

Gamosexuality, however, does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who does not exist outside of video games. In ''some'' cases, one who is gamosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is gamosexual feels this way, nor does it mean gamosexuality is bad. |

Gamosexuality does ''not'' include attraction to harmful fictional tropes and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for gamosexuals. |

Gamosexuality vs Paraphillia
Gamosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. Paraphillias are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the person experiencing them and/or those around them.
Gamosexuality, however, does not usually cause harm, as it does not influence or promote any harmful or dangerous acts, and is simply a desire/attraction to one who does not exist outside of video games. In some cases, one who is gamosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for people in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is gamosexual feels this way, nor does it mean gamosexuality is bad.
Gamosexuality does not include attraction to harmful fictional tropes and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for gamosexuals.
