Hierofilia, the curiosity of the sacred

May you've never heard of hierofilia but perhaps sometime in your life you've felt some kind of sexual attraction for things sacred or religious, it may sound paradoxical, and that for many a nun, a priest, a rosary or a simple chalice is anti total morbo. However for some is a fetish, the origin of multiple sexual fantasies and forbidden pleasures.

As many other "filias" or labels for hobbies or sexual tendencies we turned to the dead languages, in this case hierofilia shares with words like hieroglyphic or hieratic Greek root hierós (?e???) which means sacred;and therefore hierofilia refers to people who feel attraction for sacred religious.

This hobby involves such a person may feel morbo or sexual by sacred attraction, you may want to masturbate or have sex during rituals sacred as a mass, and even in their moments of intimacy or sacred sites can feel the desire to employ crucifixes, rosaries, clériman or costumes nun to realize their sexual fantasies.

Thus it could be considered a deliberate act of rebellion or blasphemy, and even to any would come you to mind the girl of the Exorcist scene when it penetrates into the vagina with a crucifijo… however this is not usually as well, the hierofilia is usually rather among people devoted or which has been linked to this religious world instead of atheistic people who do not feel the slightest interest in this.

E.g. thinks that people often attend church or Cathedral permeate more ambient and give greater importance or respect the place, ceremonies and persons involved. These feelings or emotions can manifest as arousal, especially if the link between the members of the Congregation is very close.Indeed, probably in the history of any classified status as "religious experience" had a sexual background or orgásmico…

Therefore, should not be seen from the hierofilia persons acting by mere debauchery or contempt to a religion, e.g. rebellious acts as that session of erotic photos taken inside of a church of England, this is rather flour another matter.

On the other hand, if you stop to think about it, it is curious that most non-monotheistic religions have at least a God of fertility, and also many of them are accompanied by rituals or fairly explicit sexual symbols.In these cases, religion and sexuality go hand in hand with the idea of promoting the life cycle, and so in theory it is harder to generate of this fruit morbo a little forbidden.
