The bit about the Asian prostitue doesn't seem necessary.

Neither does labeling this a disorder, so I'm taking that out, unless someone cares to cite a source that verifies that dacryphilia is currently considered a disorder by the majority of the psychiatric profession. Zuiram 23:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article is now worst

It now has almost no info when compared to previous versions. I think we could recover some of it

I have expanded using the BDSM Dictionary.--Whipmaster (talk) 11:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

primarily associated with males

Why so? I'm definitely a dacryphile and biologically female. And I know other females who are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.184.130.27 (talk) 13:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the comment as the cited source, The Gay Book of Lists, is a set of trivia with unidentified sources, is not comprehensive, and has no credibility to make such a statement. Furthermore my own personal experience (which is irrelevant to you but important to me) is that the few people I know with dacryphilia is biologically female, further discrediting this non-scientific source.

terminology cleanup

I moved the BDSM link to the first use of the term, changed "dominant" to "top" and linked it to Top_and_bottom_in_sex_and_BDSM and changed "submissive" to "bottom" since "top" and "bottom" are more accurately inclusive than "dominant" and "submissive" (which refer to only a subset of dacryphiliacs.) Charles haynes (talk) 23:28, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately you are still using dominant too often in the article as if that was the only expression of a BDSM top. Grainsofsalt (talk) 20:25, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
