What is agalmatofilia?

Agalmatophilia is a sexual attraction or fetish in which a person is sexually aroused by mannequins, statues, dolls, or other similar objects that resemble the human form. This fetish may involve admiring, touching, or dressing up a mannequin or statue in clothing that may be perceived as sexually provocative or appealing to the fetishist. Some people with agalmatophilia may also have fantasies about being transformed into a statue or mannequin themselves. While agalmatophilia is not necessarily harmful, some individuals may experience distress or difficulty functioning in relationships or societal norms due to their fetish.
