Over the years, the -philia prefix has attached itself to some rather unsavory things. Pyrophilia, necrophilia, *****, you name of, it probably has it attached. What about other things? Don't people have a deep seeded passion for other, more positive things, as well?
For example, I have, and am glad to have audiophilia, bibliophilia, biophilia, Bemaniphilia, and errophilia.(love of audio, books, nature, Bemani and wandering)
What are some of your -philias?

I thought philia was: Wikipedia Paraphilia, sexual deviation (in Greek para παρά = besides and '-philia' φιλία = love) - in psychology and sexology, is a term that describes a family of philias that reference sexual arousal in response to sexual objects or situations which may interfere with the capacity for reciprocal affectionate sexual activity. Obviously the source mentions "philias" as love, but the article goes on to give a list of philias which represent one's sexual response to that given object or situation. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ParaphiliaThe list of philias can be seen further down the page: hereSo if we're going to talk about what sexually arouses us, my list would include: Acousticophilia, Amaurophilia, Ephebophilia, Haematophilia/Hematolagnia, Pictophilia (but who isn't?), Somnophilia, and Vorarephilia. Now I'm an official pervert, lol.

When I think about philias, i think about people who "love" things to a degree that it becomes almost fetishized.
Now, of course, it can be taken out of the context of sex, but when someone talks about a dendrophillic person, it means that the person wants to have sex with trees, not that the person enjoys and loves trees.
The only philia I could confess to having is Marcus-philia.
But then again, how could I not?

Hmm...well since I don't actually know all the latin terms for all of my philias (Hell I'd be willing to bet latin words for some don't exist.) So I'll make up a few.
Audiophilia, bibliophilia, biophilia, errophilia, effemiphilia, (The love of girls and their cute things.) Pornophilia, (Admit it you do too!) hentaiphilia, and...a few others I can't think of.
