I am looking for a name for an idea that I have for a website. It is a niche hobby, but there is a greek word for it that most people don’t know. Lets say its a book club and the word was Bibliophile or a music club called Melophile.
Would you, if you did not know the meaning, think of it as something sexual, or maybe even something bad? I am nervous that users might relate it to pedophile even though that is just one of, (but maybe best known) philias there are
You may be right, but it is interesting that most sexual interests have a “-philia” name although they are described as paraphilias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paraphilias
Paraphilias are described just as atypical sexual interests, so by the looks pretty much anything outside of the “standard missionary married male and female lights off until male cums”, which seems pretty specific and probably should be described as paraphilia too. Tradphilia? Xd
