Plushophilia is a sexual or romantic attraction to stuffed toys, usually called plushies. The Wikipedia article classes it as a paraphilia and, at the same time, as a form of object sexuality, meaning an attraction to inanimate objects rather than to people. A person with this interest is called a plushophile. The article adds that some plushophiles alter their plushies, for example by making holes in them to simulate a vagina or anus. The source is a very short lead that describes the interest and its terminology only. It states no cause, prevalence, clinical course or treatment, so none is claimed here. This entry records the term and how it is classified; it is not medical advice.
