Meanings
plural teratophiles
- Someone who has teratophilia; a person sexually attracted to monsters.
It’s important to note, however, that fetishes are more specific and demanding than the general umbrella of kink. You can find the creature in Shape of Water sexy, without being a full-on teratophile – though neither deserves stigmatization for being nontraditional expressions of human sexuality.
