Teratosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is, by ''most'' definitions, 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. Whether or not it is a paraphillia is up to debate, depending on ones definition for such. |

Teratosexuality, 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 fiction. In ''some'' cases, one who is teratosexual 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 teratosexual feels this way, nor does it mean teratosexuality is bad. |
