Words for stuff you didn’t even know had a word

I found one of my old Tumblr posts from December of 2008 and in it I apparently put a list of little-known sexually-related words. Here are some of them:

Tripsolagnophilia (TRIP-suh-LAG-nuh-FIL-ee-uh) – The desire to obtain sexual pleasure from massage.

Sacifricosis (SAK-oh-fri-KOH-sis) – The practice of absentmindedly fiddling with your genitalia through your pants pockets. “playing pocket pool” or “pocket hockey”

Faunoiphilia (FAW-nay-FIL-ee-uh) – An abnormal desire to watch animals copulate.

Brassirothesauriast (bruh-zeer-oh-thuh-SAW-ree-ast) – A person who collects brassieres or pictures of women wearing them.

Paraphilia (PAR-uh-FIL-ee-uh) – A preoccupation with unusual or abnormal sexual practices.

Eunoterpsia (YOO-noh-TURP-see-uh) – The doctrine that pursuing sexual pleasure is the goal of life.

Amychesis (AM-i-KEE-sis) – The involuntary act of scratching or clawing your partner in the heat of passion.

Cingulomania (SING-gyoo-loh-MAY-nee-uh) – A strong desire to hold a person in your arms.

Ozoamblyrosis (OH-zoh-AM-bli-ROH-sis) – Loss of sexual appetite because your partner has wicked B.O.

Amomaxia (AM-uh-MAX-see-uh) – Love-making in a parked car.

Colpocoquette (KAHL-puh-koh-KET) – A woman who knows she has an attractive bosom, and who makes good use of its allure.

Medectasia (MED-ek-TAY-zhee-uh) – The bulge seen through a man’s clothing created by his genitalia.

Erotographomania (e-RAHT-uh-GRAF-uh-MAY-nee-uh) – A mania from writing ardent love letters, or an obsession with erotic writing.

Slattern (SLAT-turn) – A slovenly woman or girl; also, a prostitute.

Noeclexis (NOH-i-KLEK-sis) – The practice of selecting a partner based on intelligence and character without regard for physical attractiveness.

Zoanthropy (zoh-An-thruh-pee) – The delusion that one is an animal.

And, of course, my favorite: pogonotrophy, or the act of growing a beard.
