Acrophilia<br />
Acrophilia (Acro: highest point; philia: attachment to) refers<br />
to a person who is sexually aroused by heights. Skydiving and<br />
bungee-cord-jumping are high-altitude activities that elevate<br />
one’s adrenalin. This excitement can then be transferred to<br />
passion and sex. Both of these activities include a form of<br />
bondage, ver tigo, and suspension.<br />
S/M partners who suffer from acro phobia are sometimes<br />
blindfolded and made to climb ladders. If this is done often,<br />
the phobia seems to dissipate and, along with it, the sexual<br />
charge it first produced. (“Terror,” QSM lecture by J.C. Collins,<br />
Nov 28, 1990.)<br />
Another popular form of acrophilia is having sex at a high altitude.<br />
This is humorously referred to as becoming a member<br />
Aerobatics can be sexually arousing<br />
for a few people.<br />
Aerobatics can be sexually arousing for a few people. Stunts<br />
in a small plane offer 4-5 negative G-forces and 3-4 positive<br />
G’s. These affect the body by pushing the blood into either the<br />
head or the lower body, resulting in feelings of lightheadedness,<br />
floating, or sinking, depending on the maneuver. There<br />
is a tremendous adrenalin rush and a simultaneous sense of<br />
power over the airplane and submission to it. The feeling of<br />
being bound is greater in stunt flying than with other sports<br />
because the belts have to hold both body weight and the<br />
chute through every maneuver. There are very few sensations<br />
that compare with hanging upside down while one’s<br />
weight pulls one toward the glass bubble that sep arates the<br />
pilot from the rapidly approaching ground. This feat provides<br />
enough sexual stimulation to cause at least one female pilot<br />
to experience spontaneous orgasm. (Personal communication.)<br />
Finally, there are people who claim to have been captured by<br />
creatures from outer space and impregnated while aboard flying<br />
saucers. Their stories have provided many<br />
with a sexual fantasy, one that is acted out with<br />
the aid of readily available space costumes.<br />
of the “Mile High Club” and is done in air planes or other aircraft.<br />
(Conversely, one wonders if there is a “Mile Low Club”<br />
for submarines.) There was a group of pilots in New York that<br />
had its own version of a Mile High Club. The requirements<br />
were that the pilot and passenger go up in an open-cockpit<br />
bi-plane, and when they reached an altitude of 6,500 feet,<br />
the pas senger would disrobe, climb out onto the wing and<br />
into the back seat, returning to the front seat after having sex<br />
with the pilot. All without falling off! (Personal communication,<br />
1980.)<br />
Agalmatophilia<br />
(Galateism, Pygmalionism, Statuophilia.) Pygmalion was a<br />
mythical Greek sculptor who fell in love with Galatea (one of<br />
his female statues). At his request, the goddess Aphrodite<br />
brought her to life. Today this term refers to people with a<br />
statue or mannequin fetish.<br />
Several historical cases of agalmatophilia have been documented.<br />
Clisyphus evidently “violated the statue of a goddess<br />
in the Temple of Samos, after having placed a piece of<br />
meat on a certain part.” In 1877 “a gardener fell in love with<br />
a statue of the Venus of Milo and was discovered attempting<br />
coitus with it.” (Psychopathia Sexualis by Richard von Krafft-<br />
Ebing, p 351.)<br />
