Paraphilic disorders range from nearly normal behaviour to a behaviour which may be considered as destructive or menacing to the society at large. In accordance with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-V, the terms Paraphilia and Paraphilic disorders, denote different interpretations. Multiple paraphilias connected to childhood either directly or indirectly has been documented in scientific literature. Paraphilic Infantilism, Diaperism and Pedophilia constitute major portion among them. Paraphilic infantilism denotes paraphilic desire of being a baby. Diaperism deals with fetishistic behaviour in relation to diapers and pedophilia stands for sexual attraction towards children. Behaviourally these three paraphilias do share some characteristics and show overlapping of certain features, but psychologically they are diverse. In a number of literature on digital media, the terms have been used interchangeably or are described in a manner that creates confusion. However, when described individually they are precisely written, hence it necessitates to be elaborated collectively to surpass the current trends of mixing them. The review focuses on behavioral, developmental, psychological and legal aspects of these paraphilias.
性偏好障碍的范围从几乎正常的行为到可能被视为对整个社会具有破坏性或威胁性的行为。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册（第五版）》，“性偏好”和“性偏好障碍”这两个术语有着不同的解释。科学文献中已记载了与童年直接或间接相关的多种性偏好。恋童癖、恋尿症和恋童症在其中占主要部分。恋童癖指的是渴望成为婴儿的性偏好。恋尿症涉及与尿布相关的恋物癖行为，而恋童症代表对儿童的性吸引力。在行为上，这三种性偏好确实有一些共同特征且某些特征存在重叠，但在心理层面它们是不同的。在许多关于数字媒体的文献中，这些术语被交替使用或以造成混淆的方式进行描述。然而，当单独描述时它们都有准确的表述，因此有必要对其进行综合阐述以超越当前将它们混为一谈的趋势。这篇综述聚焦于这些性偏好的行为、发展、心理和法律方面。
