Ever heard of gerontosexuality? Neither had we until Congressman Alcee Hastings went before the House yesterday to voice support for the Local Law Enforcement Hate Prevention Act of 2009. The bill would expand a federal law that includes protections for hate crimes. But, as us word nerds know, you can't write a bill about crimes and fetishes you don't have names for so Hastings was forced to do a little edumacatin'.

In addition to gerontosexuality, Congress had the pleasure of learning about Apotemnophilia, Coprophilia, frotteurism and Klismaphilia, among other things.

Gerontosexuality is the distinct preference for sexual relationships primarily or exclusively with an elderly partner, Apotemnophilia is the erotic interest in being or looking like an amputee, Coprophilia is the paraphilia involving sexual pleasure from feces, Klismaphilia (sometimes spelled Klysmaphilia) is a paraphilia involving enemas, and frotteurism is a specific paraphilia which involves the non-consensual rubbing against another person to achieve sexual arousal. (er, surprise dry humping?)

Here, maybe Hastings can explain it all a little better.



Or maybe not. A for effort, anyway.
