D) Rachel and Simon both qualify for a diagnosis of sexual disorder.

Answer 1

A) They would not receive a diagnosis of sexual sadism or sexual masochism disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sexual sadism and sexual musculoskeletal disorder are obsessive behaviors, which occur frequently in an individual who suffers from these problems. In this case, as this behavior is not recurrent in Rachel and Simon, who promote sporadic sadistic and masochistic sexual interaction, we can say that they would not be diagnosed with these disorders, unless it became a pattern that interfered with normal and positive between them.
