Formicophilia
|
|
Formicophilia A specialized variety of zoophilia in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on the sensations produced by small creatures like snails, frogs, ants, or other insects creeping, crawling, or nibbling the genitalia and perianal area, and the nipples.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Zoophilia
One of the paraphilias, characterized by marked distress over, or acting on, urges to indulge in sexual activity that involves animals.
Sexuoerotic
The sexual and the erotic experienced as a unity, with more emphasis on sexual behavior than erotic imagery.
Orgasm
An intense sensation that occurs at the climax of sexual excitement that is accompanied by rhythmic muscle contractions and intense pleasure, followed by release of sexual tensions. In men, orgasm is usually accompanied by ejaculation.
Genitalia
The sex organs, internal and external. The word is often used to refer to the external organs only.
Perianal
The area around the anus.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Formal thought disorder
An inexact term referring to a disturbance in the form of thinking rather than to abnormality of content. See blocking; loosening of associations; poverty of speech.
Formaldehyde
A pungent gas, with the chemical formula HCHO, used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and especially today as a fixative for histology (the study of tissues under the microscope). Formalin is a 37% aqueous (water) solution of formaldehyde.
Formalin
A 37% aqueous solution of formaldehyde.
Formication
The tactile hallucination or illusion that insects are crawling on the body or under the skin.
Formula
An alternative to breast milk, baby formula is usually milk-based but is also made from soy products.
Formula feeding
Feeding an infant or toddler prepared formula rather than breast-feeding, or in addition to breast-feeding. Formula feeding is indicated when the mother has an illness that could be passed on to the baby through breast milk or through the close physical proximity required for breast-feeding. Otherwise, experts in infant nutrition agree that breast-feeding is best.
Formula, infant
A substitute for breast milk for feeding infants. Pediatricians generally advise exclusively breastfeeding (that is, breastfeeding with no formula) for all full term, healthy infants for the first 6 months of life. However, many infants are formula-fed today, at least in part. For infants to achieve normal growth and maintain normal health, infant formulas must include proper amounts of water, carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
Formulary
1. A collection of formulas, recipes, or prescriptions. 2. In medicine, a listing of prescription drugs approved for use.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Fisting
Vernacular term for the sexuoerotic practice of inserting the hand and forearm into the rectum or vagina, also known, respectively, as brachiorectal and brachiovaginal insertion. Also known as brachioproctic eroticism (BPE) and brachiovaginal eroticism (BVE).
Flagellant
A person who undergoes whipping or scourging, especially as a religious penitent, or as a sexual masochist.
Foredoomance
The inevitable consequence of living culminating in eventual degeneration, decline, disease and death; one of the five universal exigencies of being human.
Forensic
Pertaining to or applied in legal proceedings.
Foreplay
The traditional term for erotosexual activity during the proceptive phase in which manual, oral, and other skin and body contact ensure erection of the penis, lubrication of the vagina, and an urgency of being ready for orgasm, usually penovaginally induced.
Formicophilia
Frigidity
In sex, the failure to become sexually aroused or passionate. Traditionally, it has been applied chiefly to women but now is considered too imprecise, unscientific and judgmental. Prefered are the terms "situationally anorgasmic" or "pre-orgasmic."
Frottage
See frotteurism.
Frotteur
One who has the syndrome of frotteurism.
Frotteurism
A paraphilia of the solicitational/allurative type in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on rubbing especially the genital area against the body of a stranger in a densely packed crowd. There is no technical name for the reciprocal paraphilic condition, namely being sexuoerotically dependent on being rubbed by a stranger. Synonym, frottage. See also toucheurism. the condition in which a person (a frotteur) is dependent on rubbing against and feeling the genital or other region of the body of a stranger, especially in a tightly packed crowd, in order to obtain erotic arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm.
Fuck
The Anglo-Saxon synonym for sexual intercourse, coition, or copulation (all Latin-derived). To copulate and to fuck are the only one-word verbs for mutual genital intercourse. The former is too stilted for vernacular use. The latter, being tabooed as dirty, is often replaced by euphemisms like to screw or to ball.
