"A typical sexual practices that are not consensual or cause harm are called paraphilias" is false.

Paraphilia is a clinical term for intense and recurrent sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors that involve atypical objects, situations, or individuals. Some paraphilias may involve non-consensual or harmful behaviors, it is important to remember that not all paraphilias are harmful or involve non-consensuality.

Non-consensual and harmful sexual practices are not paraphilias. They are criminal acts and should be addressed as such. Labeling all non-consensual or harmful sexual acts as paraphilias can be misleading and stigmatizing for individuals with paraphilias that do not involve harming others.
