Pygmalionism: Sexual Arousal from Human-Like Statues or Images
Pygmalionism is a type of fetish or kink that involves sexual attraction or arousal from human-like statues or images. This fetish is named after the Greek mythological character Pygmalion, who fell in love with a statue he had created and prayed to the goddess Aphrodite to bring it to life. The goddess granted his wish and turned the statue into a living woman.
