13 Peculiar Words Pertaining to Sex (A-L)

Thirteen Fifteen Peculiar Words Pertaining to Sexual Behaviors & Desires (A-L)

Why this list? I love words and as I was exploring through rare word dictionaries, I realized that our language contains descriptions for many peculiar sexual behaviors, which means that at some point in human history, people have engaged in all sorts of various practices.

As I progress in my graduate studies of marriage and family therapy, human sexuality is a major theme that we address, as many couples have issues, needs, complaints, and desires around sex in their relationship. Who knows? I may even go into sex therapy! LOL!

  1. adelphepothia, adelphirexia, and adelphithymia. These words mean incestuous desire for one's sister, nephew and niece, respectively.
  2. apodyopsis is the act of mentally undressing someone, which may incite gymnophoria the sensation that someone is mentally undressing you.
  3. basorexia is an overwhelming desire to neck or kiss.
  4. cheiloproclitic means being attracted to a person's lips.
  5. cingulomania is the desire to hold someone in your arms.
  6. colposinquanonia is the act of estimating a woman's beauty based on her chest

  8. cypripareuniaphile is a person who loves prostitutes

  10. grapholagnia is the urge to stare at obscene pictures.
