Biastophilia

Biastophilia (from Greek biastes, "rape" + -philia) is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is dependent on, or is responsive to, the act of sexually assaulting an unconsenting person, especially a stranger. Biastophilia is a common trait in serial killers.

Raptophilia

Biastophilia is often confused with raptophilia, which is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is responsive to being raped.
