'''Perversion''' is a [[concept]] describing those types of [[human]] [[behavior]] that are perceived to be a serious deviation from what is considered to be [[orthodox]] or [[normal]]. Although it can refer to varying forms of deviation, it is most often used to describe [[sexual]] behaviors that are seen as abnormal or repulsive. Perversion differs from deviant behavior, since the latter refers to a recognized violation of social rules or norms (although the two terms can apply to the same [[thing]]). It is often considered derogatory and in [[psychological]] [[literature]] the term ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphilia paraphilia]'' is now used instead[1], though this term is controversial.

The concept of perversion is [[subjective]][1], and its application varies depending on [[culture]]. As a psychological term it was originally applied especially frequently to homosexual behavior.[2] However, [[homosexuality]] is no longer treated as a disorder in [[mainstream]] psychiatry (see Homosexuality and psychology).
