16-September-2008 16:15:16 - Agalmatophilia Agalmatophilia from the Greek agalma 'statue', and -philia φιλία = love is a paraphilial attraction to a statue, doll, mannequin or other similar figurative object, and is characterized by a human's sexual arousal and gratification being dependent upon fantasizing about and engaging in sexual behavior with said object, is distinguished by a preoccupation with the object or behavior to the point of being dependent on that object or behavior for sexual gratification, and dependent upon the individual acting on said urges with a non-consenting person or the urges, sexual fantasies, or behaviors cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.12 The attraction may include the desire for actual sexual contact with the objects, a fantasy of having sexual or non-sexual encounters with the animate or inanimate instances of the preferred objects, the act of watching encounters between the objects themselves, or sexual pleasure gained from thoughts of being transformed or transforming another into the preferred object. Agalmatophilia may also encompass Pygmalionism from the myth of Pygmalion which describes a state of love for an object of one's own creation.3 Contents 1 Clinical study 2 Fantasy, transformation and role-play 3 Representation in the arts 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links Clinical study Agalmatophilia became a subject of clinical study with the publication of Richard von Krafft-Ebbing's Psychopathia Sexualis. Ebbing recorded the case in 1877 of a gardener falling in love with a statue of the Venus de Milo and being discovered while attempting coitus with it.4 Fantasy, transformation and role-play An important fantasy for some individuals is being transformed into the preferred object such as a statue and experiencing an associated state of immobility or paralysis. Such fantasies may be extended to roleplaying, and the self-coined term used by fetishists who enjoy being transformed appears to be rubber doll or latex doll. Representation in the arts A number of famous art photographers have extensively featured sexualised life-sized dolls in their work, such as: Hans Bellmer, Bernard Faucon, Helmut Newton, Morton Bartlett, Katan Amano, Kishin Shinoyama, and Ryoichi Yoshida. Agalmatophilia features prominently in Luis Bunuel's L'Âge d'or the female protagonist sucks a statue's toe and in Tarsem Singh's 2000 thriller movie The Cell. The movie centres on a serial killer named Carl Stargher who drowns his victims all young women and then bleaches their bodies so they resemble dolls. He then masturbates while hanging himself above them. Later on in the movie there is a scene taking place inside his mind in which a psychiatrist finds a collection of grotesque, doll-like, corpse-like women inside display cases depicting scenes, while attached to crude machinery that jerks them about in sadomasochistic sexual poses; how the killer perceives his victims.
