Phallophilia

Phallophilia is a kink or attraction characterized by a sexual interest in penises, phallic shapes, or phallic imagery. The interest may focus on the visual, symbolic, or tactile aspects of the penis rather than on a specific gender or partner. Phallophilia can appear across any orientation or gender.

Origins of the Term

Phallophilia comes from classical Greek roots, where "phallos" means "penis," and "philia" means "love" or "affinity for." It is not a clinical or diagnostic term. It appears to have emerged online in the 2000s, which suggests it was coined more recently.
