COSTA RICA CONFIDENTIAL – Autagonistophilia is a paraphilia described as, “a paraphilia in which sexual arousal and orgasm are contingent upon displaying one’s self in a live show, i.e., being observed performing on stage or on camera.”
In his 1999 book, The Clinical Lacan, Joel Dor, writing on hysteria, says, “through this identification with the ideal object of the people’s desire, all her efforts are in the service of phallic identification. It is not surprising, therefore, to note the hysteric’s intense 
attraction toward any situation in which this imaginary identification can be brought onstage.”
Autagonistophilia A paraphilia (sexual deviancy) in which sexuoeroticism hinges on being seen, on scene or in front of a camera.
Treatment may not be sought unless the condition becomes problematic for the person in some way, or they come under scrutiny of the legal system, and become compelled to address their condition. Many people simply learn to accept their fetish and manage to achieve gratification in an appropriate manner.
AFTERBIZLIFE (Obscura) This article is a list of paraphilias, which are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are highly atypical.
The American Psychiatric Association, in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition, draws a distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning). Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, “Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)”.
In his 2009 book, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that “not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun.”
