Are Your Sexual Fantasies and Behavior Normal or Paraphilics Test Your Psychosexuality with Clinically Validated Free Anonymous Lyfas Online Mental Health Self-Assessment Test of Sexual Fantasy and Behavior With B

Background

This test is originally adapted from the 2002 King College work by Brown1Brown, Ashley, Edward D. Barker, and Qazi Rahman. “Development and psychometric validation of the Sexual Fantasies and Behaviors Inventory.” Psychological Assessment 34.3 (2022): 217..

Till this paper, no measures of sexual fantasies and behaviors had been tested using modern structural equation modeling techniques. A total of 4,280 adults from the US, UK, Canada, and Ireland completed a measure of diverse (paraphilic and homophilic) sexual fantasies and behaviors.

Often sexual fantasies and behaviors are seen as isolated entities related to one’s personality. Throughout Lyfas research we found out that fantasies and behaviors are intertwined with several other factors such as profession, childhood, structure of the brain, the functionality of the brain, pathology, age, relationships and so on.

Accuracy of the Scale

Average correlation =0.576 or 57.6% which for a complex psychosexuality is at the very high end. We have further defined BDSM as a separate scale and combined a few aspects of the scale as BDSM currently is more standard psychosexual behavioral categorization.

Contribution

Lyfas contribution to psychology has been our ability to correlate cardiometabolic health with psychological health using the Hypothalamus-Pituitary and Adrenaline Axis(HPA axis) with the help of our combined technique of Heart rate Variability, Biological Aging, Arterial Plethysmography, Phrotochromatography, Peripheral Somatoneurography. Unlike the original work by Brown, this work includes our contribution in the result section where we present you with a much more detailed understanding of both your sexual behavior as well as your fantasies.

  1. The social reason behind sexual behaviors and fantasies.
  2. Childhood trauma (CPTSD) correlation of sexual behaviors and fantasies.
  3. Metabolic correlation of sexual behaviors and fantasies.
  4. Aging correlation of sexual behaviors and fantasies.
  5. A more detailed explanation of the way the brain is functioning.
  6. Future risks and current risks associated with various sexual behaviors and fantasies.
  7. Precautionary health tests and additional risk assessment based on sexual behaviors and fantasies.
  8. Relationship and Intimacy dynamics of various sexual behaviors and fantasies.

Diagnosis

Characteristics of Paraphilic Disorders according to DSM-V:

Most people with atypical sexual interests do not have a mental disorder. To be diagnosed with a paraphilic disorder, DSM-5 requires that people with these interests:
• feel personal distress about their interest, not merely distress resulting from society’s disapproval;
or
• have a sexual desire or behavior that involves another person’s psychological distress, injury, or
death, or a desire for sexual behaviors involving unwilling persons or persons unable to give legal
consent.
To further define the line between an atypical sexual interest and disorder, the Work Group revised the names of these disorders to differentiate between the behavior itself and the disorder stemming from that behavior (i.e., Sexual Masochism in DSM-IV will be titled Sexual Masochism Disorder in DSM-5).

It is a subtle but crucial difference that makes it possible for an individual to engage in consensual atypical sexual behavior without inappropriately being labeled with a mental disorder. With this revision, DSM-5 clearly distinguishes between atypical sexual interests and mental disorders involving these
desires or behaviors.

However, it is important to note that there is already a substantial controversy regarding the acceptance of the definition as what is paraphilia. 2McManus MA, Hargreaves P, Rainbow L, Alison LJ. Paraphilias: definition, diagnosis, and treatment. F1000Prime Rep. 2013 Sep 2;5:36. doi: 10.12703/P5-36. PMID: 24049640; PMCID: PMC3769077.

Therefore Lyfas’s team strongly advises against drawing any diagnostic conclusion for this test, and this test must be solely used for personal self-assessment, which should serve towards self-awareness.
