Have you ever heard of stigmatophilia? An individual derives s.e.xual pleasure and arousal from a partner that’s marked in some way.

According to experts, traditional definitions of stigmatophilia referred to such individuals being s.e.xually aroused by scarring.

But more recent formulations include those who’re s.e.xually aroused by tattoos and piercings.
