Biastophilia (from Greek biastes, "rape" + -philia) and its Latin language-derived counterpart, raptophilia (from Latin rapere, "to seize"), also paraphilic rape,[1] refer to a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is dependent on, or is responsive to, the act of assaulting an unconsenting person, especially a stranger.[2][3]

Some dictionaries consider the terms synonymous,[4] while others distinguish raptophilia as the paraphilia in which sexual arousal is responsive to actually raping the victim.[5]

The source of the arousal in these paraphilias is the terrified resistance to the assault,[6] and in this respect it is considered to be a form of sexual sadism.[1]

Biastophilia is accepted as potentially lethal, other such paraphilias including, but not being limited to asphyxiophilia, autassassinophilia, hybristophilia, and chremastistophilia.[7]

Under the name Paraphilic Coercive Disorder, this diagnosis has been proposed for inclusion in DSM-5.[8] This diagnosis, under the name Paraphilic Rapism, was proposed—and rejected—in DSM-III-R,[9] has been criticized because of the impossibility of reliably distinguishing between paraphilic rapists and non-paraphilic rapists and because of the way that this diagnosis, under the term Paraphilia NOS: nonconsent has been used in Sexually Violent Person/Predator commitment.[10]

Czech sexology standardly use a concept of pathologic sexual aggressivity instead. This term is strongly distinguished from sadism.[11][12] This disorder is understand as a coordination anomaly of the sexual motivation system (SMS), a "courtship disorder" according to Kurt Freund or displacement paraphilia by John Money, or missing segment of SMS.[13]

Positively

by: Cryptic Slaughter

You can push me down, but I'll still stand
You can put me down, you're such a man
I could care less what you think of me
All you prove is insecurity
I was never meant to be
But I stay positively
If progression is the least I see
I will stay positively
You insist you're right, but I prove you wrong
I don't think you'll be here for long
Why must you make others feel your sorrow?
Today you'll fight, but what about tomorrow?
Life around is turning black
But I stay positively
There is no turning back
