Hierophilia or theophilia is the paraphilia involving sexual attraction to religious and sacred objects. The etymology is from the Greek language hieros, meaning sacred or holy.
*Abnormal amount of time spent thinking about sacred or religious objects
*Recurring intense sexual fantasies involving sacred or religious objects
*Recurring intense sexual urges involving sacred or religious objects
*Sexual preference for sacred or religious objects
The other side of this fetish are the people who dabble in hierophiliac activity either for the naughty novelty of it, or as a sexual means of expressing a disdain for religion. Hierophilia themes often find their way into fantasy play with priest collars, rosaries, religious icon sex toys, and Catholic school girl costuming. However, the religious imagery is usually not something that is loved and surrendered to, but rather the representation of what is naive and wholesome and is to be punished or otherwise corrupted.
