A to Z of fetishes

So this is something I kept for a while. It reminds me that I am not alone in this crazy fucked-up world. That there are many other, that enjoy their own strangeness – see how many of these you’re familar with.

I mean, we all know UROLAGNIA and PEDOPHILIA, even ASPHYXIAPHILIA are kind of common right? But what about STYGIOPHILIA (deriving pleasure from thoughts of hell) and SPECTROPHILIA (arousal from looking at oneself in a mirror) – not to mention GYNOTIKOLOBOMASSOPHILIA (deriving sexual pleasure by nibbling on a woman’s earlobe) or one of my personal favorites: HAMARTOPHILIA (love of committing sinful acts) … HAIL SATAN!

But WTF is FORMICOPHILIA, ZELOPHILIA, AGALMATOPHILIA, MAIESIOPHILIA, OLFACTOPHILIA, BATRACHOPHILIA, VICARPHILIA, AMOKOSCISIA, BIASTOPHILIA, AMYCHOPHILIA … check it out … are there any I missed?
