According to the American Psychiatric Association's 2013 guidelines, sexual aversion is classified under the category of sexual dysfunctions. It is not considered a paraphilic disorder, gender dysphoria, or a conversion disorder. Sexual dysfunctions encompass a variety of issues related to sexual desire, arousal, and response, and sexual aversion would fall under this broader category, potentially as a specific type of dysfunction or as a sexual dysfunction not otherwise specified if it doesn't fit neatly into other defined categories.
