Ablutophilia

Albutophilia is an attraction or fetish that involves experiencing arousal or sexual excitement from bathing or washing a partner or being bathed or washed by a partner.

The term is derived from the Latin words "albutio" (to wash or bathe) and "philia" (love or attraction).

The kink can manifest in various ways, such as enjoying the intimacy of sharing a shower or bath, the sensuality of using soap or other cleansing products on a partner's body, or the nurturing aspect of caring for a partner's cleanliness.

Albutophilia may also involve incorporating elements of water play, temperature play, or erotic massage.
