Erotic target location error (ETLE) refers to having a sexual preference (or very strong sexual interest) in features that are somewhere other than on one's sexual partner(s). When one's sexual arousal is based on imaging one's self in another physical form (such as an animal, an infant, or an amputee) the erotic target is said to be one's self, or erotic target identity inversion. Sexual arousal is based on some other object (neither one's sexual partner nor one's self) include the fetishes.
There are many subcultures of people who are interested in transforming themselves to various degrees and interacting in their new form. Such interactions can include sexual interactions with other members of the community. There is debate in these communities regarding whether their desire to transform is based on their sexual interests in the new form or based on identifying with having a soul, essence, or special affinity for that form.
The best known examples of erotic target identity inversions are biological males who experience sexual arousal in response to imaging themselves as women (called autogynephilia), but at least one case of anatomic autoandrophilia has also been reported.
Whereas pedophilia refers to the sexual preference for children, paraphilic infantilism refers to the sexual interest in being a child.
