What is psychrophilia?

Our review of the most outlandish sexual inclinations makes a stop at psychrophilia. In this paraphilia, those who suffer from it feel a terrible excitement when seeing people go cold or even sexual stimulation and the achievement of orgasm are dependent on the cold . They are true "cold lovers".

Psychrophiliacs therefore find sexual pleasure, either by feeling it in their own bodies or by observing the effect of the cold on other people (that is, seeing someone getting cold, shivering, rubbing their hands or arms …), whether in privacy or not.

The etymology of the word again is found in the Greek: “psicros” (ψυχρός) which means cold and “philia” (φιλíα), which means love / affinity / attraction

As a curiosity, the ideal pet for these lovers of the cold could not be other than the tardigrade or water bear. These almost indestructible creatures can survive -273º C, bordering on absolute zero.
