Erotophilic or Erotophobic?
I was just reading an article by the FoxSexpert on Foxnews.com and she was comparing Erotophilics vs. Erotophobics.
An erotophilic has positive attitudes and emotional feelings about sex.
An erotophobic has negative attitudes and emotional reactions to sex. Here is the link: Link
Would you classify yourself as erotophilic or erotophobic?

both. =)
both, the action is quite nice, however i believe in god and are out of wedlock, so …not always so good.
homophobic – the opposite of xenophobic
Erotophilic
mostly philic, sometimes phobic.
As a conservative Christian…definitely erotophilic.
erotophilic. fox has a sexpert? odd
Erotophillic
I forget.
Either depending on the context.
can you be both?
Me likey el sexo!
both. that’s my answer
im part-irish. what do you think?
erotophilic
oh baby.
Erotophilic.
erotophilic…i think
phobic
Mostly erotophilic… sometimes a little phobic… Haha
‘PHOBE.
depends on the person, entirely. there are some people who do it for me, and some that make me frightened. so, in a way, both.
What is sex?
Actually, that doesn’t even make sense!
is there an erotoneutral? an it-never-comes-up-so-I-don’t-care? that’s what I am.
Erotophilic!
How can you be both?
total erotofillik
In between.
erotophobic
How about “erotomanic”?
Kathi
EROTOPHILIC most definetly ! especially at this time of the night.
Erotophilic. Without sex, there’d be no babies, and without babies, there’d be no us.
That said, I’ll probably end up waiting until marriage, because random sex with strangers is irresponsible and indirectly increases the next generation’s crime rate by birthing unwanted babies into dysfunctional families that can’t afford to give them a happy, non-stressful childhood. And also, first time is one-time feeling and I don’t want to ruin that by having it with someone non-special.
A bit of both. I mean…I’m not all crazy havesexallthetime and I’m not sexisevilandshouldneverbehad.
What would you be if you are asexual? I am really feeling like that is middle ground right?
erotophillic
erotophilic
Um, Fox news is not news. But to answer the question, erotophilic.
def a philic
erotophilic
philic. for sure.
I think the follow-up question should be “how many of the women who responded with “erotophilic” suddenly got a big jump in footprints, pulses or private messages?”
@jediwa72 - lol…this from a mother of how many kids? Did I count 3 in that video?
@rbmegert - OH!!! Is that how I got them!? I was wondering what was causing the inflammation in my belly and then these little mini-mes!
erotophobic
@jediwa72 - lol
erotophillic.
Goddamnit, and here I was thinking we’d seen the last of this bitch…
Depends.
According to the quiz at the link, I’m neither.
Erotophilic. I find sex to be a complicated issue, but I’m generally positive about it.
Definitely erotophilic, but I base this on the open environment my Mother set in our household for me growing up. :)
I am a borderline nymphomaniac.
Them two words, be just a bit on the esoteric side, for this simple little farm girl.
Uh…I lost is somewhere, so I’ll go with both.
@jediwa72 - Sex is gender or the communion of 2+ number of (legally one) species reproducing….? (never trust anything I say)
@Carolina17 -
Second.
Erotophilic I suppose.
But sex is…whatever…
I can’t say. I’m usually drunk when I have sex, and then I can’t remember which of these fancy Latin words means what.
Erotophilic….
It’s amazing the questions I find myself answering on this site.
Sex is wonderful… if you are married and it is with your wife.
Which of the two does that make me?
erotophilic
I want more choices! Can you really fit all of human sexual behaviour into just two categories?
philic. yeow.
I never heard of these terms, however I think I lean more to the erotophobic side of things.
I think I’m erotophilic.
I’m definitely erotophobic..
@loveandpolitics - In the article it actually gives it more like a spectrum than a “this or that” kind of thing.
I can be very erotophillic. Sex is great.
I was also raised Mormon, so sometimes, in the throes of passion, I start feeling massively ashamed for no reason.
Hmm…I’m gonna go work on that.
I don’t like to classify myself into certain things, I feel like it sets limits.
erotophilic all the way.
I think I’m somewhere in-between, but I lean more on the erotophilic side.
Erotoholic. I have a good attitude about sex!
But I feel guilty when I masturbate.
@lotta_valdez - You have needs. I can help.
@ClockworkBunny - hai. poke poke.
@trunthepaige - Would you STOP IT??? Nympho farm girl, likes to shoot. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK!!! I can’t go all hot and bothered, AGAIN! ;P
philic dolly. <33
@MereBenjimon - Why do you feel guilty when you masturbate?
Erotophilic.
@petitenoirtenue - It’s a line from David Fincher’s 1997 cult classic “The Game.”
Plus I was pegged as a masturbater in eighth grade and publicly humiliated.
sex is wonderful .
@MereBenjimon - Oof. That sucks. High school can be brutal. <33
I believe a reply would be redundant, for me, but, so it is… most definitely, obviously, erotophilic
Erotophilic
completely.
erotophobic – too many bacteria exchanges
Definitely erotophilic
I’ve only met one erotophobic in my life. It’s my misfortune that I married her. I wish I had known this before.
Erotophilic.
Obviously.
erotophilic.
Both. Depending on the situation. I’d like to be more of an erotophile though.
Erotophilic, no doubt. Man, let’s just say my pussy is very happy.
Am more of a erotophilic for the most part, what’s the point of being negative about one of the best things that life has to offer, sex!?
~Alexx
erotophobic lol =/
Both because I have negative feelings towards people who use it as a recreational sport but am fine with those who use it to actually create a baby.
erotophobic
Erotophilic for sure
Don’t we all have “emotional reactions” towards sex?
Both.
I am an erotophilic by nature, but I act erotophobic when around people.
so!
Erotophilic (though occasionally gynophobic…but not in a misogynoustic way
haha there’s a fox sexpert?
definitely erotophilic.. its something to be enjoyed!
sex is just sex. it is a physical craving- it doesn’t have to be emotionally attractive or disturbing.
but I usually feel happier afterwards. so philic, I guess..
<3
erotophilic
Erotophilic.
Phobic. I have no desire for sex.
And yes, I am very boring.
there’s a difference?
I’m erotofabulous
Seriously, I am a big fan of the sex.
Definitely erotophilic. Most of my generation are compared to others in the past century, according to my Human Sexuality class. Although -philic and -phobic sound like two extremes.
philic.
Necrophilic.
Erotophilic.
@steph843 - Nice.
Secretly, erotophilic. I tried not to let my emotion get the best of me because I’m planning to stay a virgin until I get marry. It’s very hard because there are so much temptation out there and deep down wanted it so badly. I tried to remind myself be patient someday I will find the one. Where is my “Edward Cullen”?
erotophillic…. but thats not the same as saying you’re unhealthily obsessed with sex is it?
Erotophilic.
Erotophilic, allllll the way.
In my Human Sexuality course, inside the textbook was a test as to how erotophobic or erotophilic a person was, since it’s all on one scale, 0 being the most erotophobic, and 126 as to the most erotophilic. There were a bunch of questions that you put a number of 1 to 7, (I forget what each number stood for) and you did some math that it told you to do, and you got your number. I scored 64, which is pretty much right in the middle; I was surprised it was that way, because I thought it’d be higher.
