Agalmatophilia

Agalmatophilia is an attraction or fetish involving statues, mannequins, dolls, or other inanimate or life-like figures.

It is a form of objectophilia, where individuals experience strong emotional and/or erotic feelings towards specific objects.

The term agalmatophilia is derived from the Greek words "agalma," meaning statue, and "philia," meaning love or affection.

People with agalmatophilia may engage in fantasies, role-play, or sexual activities involving these objects, often finding pleasure in their unresponsive or static nature.

As with any kink, it is essential that all parties involved practice consent and respect boundaries to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
