[edit] Biastophilia

Biastophilia (from Greek biastes, "rape" + -philia) is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal is dependent on, or is responsive to, the act of assaulting (possibly sexually) an unconsenting person, especially a stranger.[5][6] Biastophilia is a common trait in serial killers.[citation needed] It is sometimes confused with raptophilia, that is, the paraphilia in which sexual arousal is responsive to raping a victim.[7]

[edit] Somnophilia

Somnophilia (from Latin 'somnus' = sleep and Greek φιλία, '-philia' = love), or sleeping princess syndrome[13] or Sleeping Beauty syndrome[14], is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal and/or orgasm are stimulated by intruding on and awakening a sleeping stranger with erotic caresses, but not with force or violence.[13][15] The eye-rolling before fainting may also cause arousal. Somnophilia may also refer to having sex with a sleeping partner. There is no technical term for the reciprocal paraphilic condition of being the recipient, which more often occurs in fantasy than in reality.

On the Achewood strip that ran on February 4, 2003, Ray Smuckles makes reference to somnophilia, referring to it as "asleep style."[1]

[edit] Vorarephilia

Look up vorarephilia in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Vorarephilia (or vore[16]) is usually a fetish where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten alive, eating another alive, or watching this process.[17].
