Formicophilia, a subset of Zoophilia, is the specific practice of gaining sexual pleasure from ants and ant bites.[1][2]

Those who possess this condition have been known to enjoy ants crawling over their genitals and even entering their orifices until sexual arousal and climax is reached.

Entomophilia is the wider term for those who find sexual pleasure with a range of various insects rather than ants alone.
