15 Strangest Sex Fetishes: Do You Have One?
Ursusagalmatophilia: Plushies
Some people like to dress up like animals, calling themselves "furries" or "plushies" and seeking out like-minded individuals. This fetish is known as ursusagalmatophilia, and it's surprisingly popular.
"There is a big 'furry scene,' and it seems to be based on people who like to anthropomorphize animals and ascribe them with human qualities, generally cute qualities," says Dr. Ian Kerner, a sex therapist in New York City.
Ursusagalmatophilia is distinct from zoophilia, which involves sexual attraction to real animals.
