| May 14 at 11:18 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Deletion of an untenable answer is best. // OP does not specify which form of love (I think C S Lewis distinguishes 4 or 5: agape; storge ...) he means, so Stuart's answer is valid. The question is not going to have many valid answers, so it's hardly too broadly scoped ... and Stuart qualifies the subset his answer satisfies. | |
| May 14 at 5:11 | comment | added | user477277 | @EdwinAshworth If ELU accepts only established words, then please reject my suggestion. Would you like me to delete it? However, the question is about 'attraction' not specifically 'sexual attraction;, So, if you are not satisfied with my answer, you should also qualify if the attraction is specific to sexual attraction. | |

| May 8 at 15:17 | comment | added | Barmar | @Fattie That would presumably be "Fantasiaphile". | |
| May 7 at 17:41 | comment | added | Fattie | heh! good point Ron. I bet, "Phantasiaphile" (ie, in re the movie) has been used in conversation or print many times. | |
| May 7 at 14:35 | comment | added | RonJohn | Phantasia is (almost) a movie; phasmophilia is sexual attraction to ghosts. | |
