Partialism[1] is a sexual interest in a specific body part, including hair, buttocks, and breasts. People with partialism find themselves drawn to the other erogenous body parts of people they are attracted to rather than genitals. Arousal by a non-living object is fetishism. Hence, partialism is not a problem if it lacks psychological impact, i.e.: Causes doubts about your sexual inclination Causes injury, distress, or even death to someone else due to the desire for or participation in sex Involves unlawful sexual curiosity Numerous psychological hypotheses regarding the development of partialism are more common. It is a common occurrence that a suffering person may not fully understand what would be wrong with having unpleasant sexual behavioural patterns and fantasies. 3] P. de Silva, ” Paraphilias ,” Psychiatry (Abingdon) , vol.
