Revision as of 17:29, 7 August 2012
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 imagining 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.
Types
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 gynephilia refers to the sexual preference for women, autogynephilia refers to a male's sexual interest in being a woman. Autogynephilia can be associated with gender dysphoria and Gender Identity Disorder, discontent with one's biological sex and the desire to under surgery for sex reassignment and permanently take on a role and life of the other sex. A male with sexual arousal based on temporarily taking on the appearance or role of a woman is transvestic fetishism.
Several other sexual interests also exist in an ETLE forms:
Whereas acrotomophilia refers to the sexual preference for amputees, apotemnophilia refers to sexual arousal in association with having an amputation. although both can be experienced at the same time. Apotemnophilia can be associated with the strong belief or desire that one's external body is mismatched to one's true nature, a phenomena called body integrity identity disorder, and the desire to undergo surgery to remove a limb. People who temporarily adopt the role or identify of an amputee have been called disability pretenders.
Whereas zoophilia refers to the sexual preference for animals, autozoophilia refers to sexual arousal in association with being an animal. Autozoophilia can be associated with the feeling or belief that one is less than 100% human or that one is an animal trapped in a human body, a phenomena called species dysphoria.
Whereas pedophilia refers to the sexual preference for children, paraphilic infantilism refers to the sexual interest in being a child.
The sexual attraction to plush animals is plushophilia, whereas the sexual attraction to being or changing one's body to have plush features is autoplushophilia, and sexual arousal from temporarily resembling a plush animal is fursuitism.
The parallels between gender identity disorder and apotemnophilia have been noted, as have the similarities between gender identity disorder and species identity disorder.
Sexuality in subcultures
There are many subcultures of people who are interested in transforming themselves to various degrees and interacting in their new role or identity. 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 association with that form.
