Fetishism of extraterrestrials
The design of the Xenomorph in Alien intentionally evokes horrific erotic imagery

Exophilia is "a fetishism whose object is the sexuality of extraterrestrials." In other words, it is a desire for extraterrestrial, alien, or other non-human life forms. The term was coined by the writer Supervert in the 2001 book Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish. Because exophilia originated in a literary work, it is not a paraphilia recognized by experts such as the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM).
