Social Work Exam Matching Game

Inspired by SWTP's recent free practice question about paraphilic disorders, here's a matching game--paraphilias and their definitions. What's a paraphilia? Wikipedia answers:
Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition, draws a distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).

Can you match the paraphilia with its definition? Give it a shot.

Paraphilias

1. Exhibitionism

2. Frotteurism

3. Nasophilia

4. Pedovestism

5. Pedophilia

6. Podophilia

7. Sadism

8. Masochism

9. Macrophilia

10.Lactophilia 
 

 

Definitions (Sexual arousal from...)

a. Breast milk
b. Suffering; being beaten, bound or otherwise humiliated
c. Inflicting pain on others
d. Exposing one's genitals to unsuspecting and nonconsenting others
e. Dressing like a child
f. Prepubescent children
g. Giants

h. Feet
i. Rubbing against a non-consenting person
j. Noses
 

 
Definitions come from Wikipedia's big list of paraphilias. There are lots more than just these 10.

Our answers in comments.

Thanks for playing and good luck with the exam!
