Plushophilia (from "plushie" and "-philia") is a paraphilia involving stuffed animals. Plushophiles are sometimes called plushies, although this term (plushies) can also refer to non-sexual stuffed animal enthusiasts, and to stuffed animals in general.
Plushophilia is sometimes assumed to be a practice common within furry fandom, due in part to a 2001 article by Vanity Fair that linked various members of the furry community with plushophilia. A 1998 survey of 360 members of the furry community suggested less than one percent attested to being plushophiles.
Pornography and sexual activity involving animal anthropomorphism (including plushophilia and paraphilias involving fursuits and cartoon animals) is known in the furry fandom community as "yiff" (and sexual acts as "yiffing").
Sexual arousal that depends upon imagining one's self as plush or anthropomorphized animal is autoplushophilia.
Autoplushophilia
Autoplushophilia is sexual arousal that depends on acting out or imagining one's self as a plush or anthropomorphized animal, sometimes through the use of fursuits. Paraphilic interests that involve being in another form have been referred to as Erotic target location errors.
