You all know how much I enjoy words, and I thought I would spread the love and throw out some more new and “unusual” fetish terminology. Let’s see if I can surprise you…
* Cratophilia: If your heart races and your loins ache in response to physical strength, you are a cratophiliac.
* Formicophilia: If you feel all tingly from the sensation of something (i.e., small animals, insects, etc.) crawling all over your body, you just found the name for your paraphilia.
* Morphophilia: Morphophiliacs exhibit a strong sexual preference for a particular body shape and size.
* Mucophilia: Does an icky wad of mucus or phlegm prompt you to rise to full mast? If so, you’re a mucophiliac.
* Pictophilia: This term applies to those who are intensely attracted to and aroused by (photographic) pornography or erotic art.
* Somnophilia: If you walk in on someone who is sleeping or happen upon a person who is unconscious and you get turned on, you’re a somnophiliac.
* Stigmatophilia: This is the paraphilia for those who get incredibly aroused by the idea of piercings and/or tattoos.
* Symphorophilia: Does a hurricane figuratively blow you away or a fire set your intimate areas up in flames? Those of you who become aroused due to or by disasters are symphorophiliacs.
* Trichophilia: People who find hair immensely erotic are members of this paraphilic grouping.
* Vorarephilia: If the idea of eating others or being yourself consumed by another –typically in one big gulp- gets you going, you’re a vorarephilic.
Maybe it’s just me, but I had no idea there existed names for certain erotic yearnings and fantasies. I hope you all find these paraphilias as interesting as do I. Now, I’m beginning to wonder if there is any sexual fascination for which there doesn’t exist some label!
