Culturally abnormal abnormal is a negative word (normal = ok, abnormal = not ok), what is uncommon in one culture may be common in another (oral sex, previously not accepted now it is) not helpful. Statistically infrequent: atypical - good term not loaded with much meaning or judgement associated with it, just says that it is rare/minority experience something. Forensic versus community clients - sexual preferences are approached is differently in forensic vs. clinical contexts (forensic more about risk management, person causing harm. Community clients helping ppl resolve their anxiety associated with it and integrating something into their relationship. If they are causing distress, impairment, harm (distress/impairment might be due to the culture you live in and people may judge u for it and you cant behave in that way) dsm5. Just because something is unusual does not mean we should be worried/judge them for it.
