Dr. Mark Griffiths, a professor of behavioural addiction, delves into 'toonophilia,' a paraphilia where individuals feel sexual attraction to cartoon characters, revealing its complexities.
'While researching the furry fandom and objectum sexuality, I kept coming across various online references to toonophilia,' explained Dr. Griffiths, highlighting its unique nature.
Dr. Griffiths notes that toonophiles may be sexually attracted to well-known characters like Lara Croft and more unusual ones like Bugs Bunny and Ms Pac-Man.
In his book, Dr. Griffiths discusses how toonophilia shares similarities with other paraphilias, such as ficto-philia for fictional characters and gameophilia for videogame characters.
