Amaurophilia: Sexual preference for a blind or blindfolded sex partner, used extensively in BDSM or refers to those who gain most of their sexual excitement by having sex in total darkness. This may be due to religious guilt, low self-esteem, or feelings of inadequacy. (Most people are uncomfortable about having-sex under bright lights ; also, tactile stimulations reach greater sensitivity in semi or total darkness.)
Etymology: From amaurosis , loss of vision or blindness, and philia , attraction.
Amaurophilia
In the swingers lifestyle at some clubs and conventions the swingers have been known to setup a darkroom. Participants enter the room totally nude and proceed to touch and sexually arouse each other in total darkness. This is or can be a very erotic way to spend an evening and I've enjoy this theme totally.
- Swingers amaurophilia darkrooms are very erotic and stimulating, the advantage of darkness is that tactile stimulation can reach the greatest sensitivity when all other senses are inhibited, particullarly sight.
