Dendrophilia (paraphilia)
Sexual attraction to trees
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dendrophilia (or less often arborphilia or dendrophily) literally means "love of trees". The term may sometimes refer to a paraphilia in which people are attracted to or sexually aroused by trees. This may involve sexual contact or veneration as phallic symbols or both.[1] Andrew Marvell made poetry using dendrophilic themes.[2][3]
