F65.89

What This Code Means

This code describes sexual interests or behaviors that are atypical or unusual and don't fit into other specific paraphilia categories. These are persistent patterns of sexual arousal to objects, situations, fantasies, or behaviors that are considered outside the norm.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when the paraphilia doesn't meet criteria for more specific codes (F65.0-F65.8), such as voyeurism, exhibitionism, or frotteurism
• •Ensure documentation clearly describes the specific paraphilic interest and that it causes clinically significant distress or impairment to justify coding
