In ICD-10 (World Health Organization 1992), the paraphilias are classified as disorders of sexual preference. Six specific disorders are listed: fetishism, fetishistic transvestism, exhibitionism, voyeurism, pedophilia and sadomasochism. Three further categories denote ‘multiple disorders of sexual preference’, ‘other disorders of sexual preference’ and ‘disorder of sexual preference, unspecified’.
DSM5 Makes a change that makes it possible for an individual to engage in consensual atypical sexual behaviour without being labelled with a mental disorder, by stating the individual or someone else feels distress by it.
I call bullshit semantics. Still a faulty wiring in one's brain to enjoy self-harm or the harm of others. Smoking is an addiction that destroys your body, doesn't mean everyone who smokes needs therapy, because, if you don't consciously suffer - why quit? The person is still an addict, though.
Indeed, I will retract that you are more likely to be a paedophile if you are into a parphiliaAfter all, paedophilia is a paraphilia, so this makes no sense. The one study I have here finds correlations between different paraphilia.

(I do remember a discussion during the Challenor case, where Challenor's paedophilia, sadism, crossdressing and nappy fetish all rolled into one were discussed in terms of paraphilia quite often being a accompanied by one another, and Blanchard said something to the effect, too, but on the fly I have no study to support it).
You will see in the study I provided that paedophilia is observed as a paraphilia, just like Sadism, Masochism, Fetishism, Exhibitionism....
