New Kings Needed Proposed
Total changes proposed: 17 adjustments.
This section is for proposals for NTs or BTs that that do not currently exist (in italics) for terms that do or do not currently exist. Each proposal is followed by a section detailing Changes and the Justification for the addition.
Here are some examples:
Venereal diseases
RT HIV
NT HPV
ADDITION: The addition of HIV and HPV to Venereal diseases
JUSTIFICATION: HIV was discovered in 1981, after initial publication. HPV is considered to be a major sexual infection, and is the topic of much discussion. Please also see proposal to update to “sexually transmitted infection”
Hyposexuality
RT Asexuality
NT Hypoactive sexual desire disorder
ADDITION: Adding Asexuality to Hyposexuality as RT. Adding Hypoactive sexual desire disorder as NT.
JUSTIFICATION: Asexuality: These are different terms, but are often discussed together, especially in psychological literature.
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder: this is DSM-5 clinical diagnosis when low desire causes distress.
