Mechanophilia

Mechanophilia (or mechaphilia[1]) is a paraphilia involving a sexual attraction to machines such as bicycles, motorcycles,[2] cars,[3][4] helicopters,[5] and airplanes.

[18] Although not all such uses are sexual in intent, the terms are also used for specifically erotogenic fixation on machinery[19] and taken to its extreme in hardcore pornography as Fucking Machines.

[22] Arse Elektronika, an annual conference organized by the Austrian arts-and-philosophy collective monochrom, has propagated a DIY/feminist approach to sex machines.

[23] Authors have drawn a connection between mechanophilia and masculine militarisation, citing the works of animator Yasuo Ōtsuka and Studio Ghibli.

[24] The 1973 French film La Grande Bouffe includes a scene of a man and a car copulating, to fatal effect.
