# Paraphilias: Understanding Atypical Sexual Interests
Josh and Chuck dive into the complicated, often misunderstood world of paraphilias—sexual interests that fall outside the typical spectrum. They explore how psychology has shifted from calling these behaviors "sexual deviance" and "sodomy" to using more clinical terminology, and why the distinction between a paraphilia and a paraphilic disorder actually matters in real-world situations like custody battles. Along the way, you'll learn about everything from the landmark Lawrence v. Texas Supreme Court case to why we still don't really understand how these interests develop in the first place.
