Pedophile is used in negative connotation to mean one who is sexually interested in children.

A pedophile is a person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward children, generally aged 13 or younger

Interesting. So many philes in the world! For a long time the only phile type I knew of was Pedophile. Funny, all the other philes are positive, but loving children is considered sexual attraction and negative. Pedo(children) phile(love). Why isn’t PEDOPHILE a person who loves children? Why is it sexual attraction to children?

I’m got heliophila and thalossaphile tatted on my arms and was looking for a particular “phile” I wanted in my sleeve..hence what brought me to this site,but can’t find it! It means “lover of a certain place of calming” …yes Iv googled and looked through the urban dictionary and can’t find it..starts with a “S” ends with”phile” …if anyone can find it PLEASE lemme know-Thanks!

What is a person who loves abandoned structures, particularly abandoned and dilapidated commercial / induatrial buildings?

Also, people who love the underground, such as shafts, access tunels, caves, and subways?

Zoophile should be removed or clarified.
Made the mistake of looking it up.
You wont find fellow animal rights or welfare advocates.
Quite the opposite and nsfw.

An autophile is defined as either “an automobile enthusiast” or “self-love; narcissism”. But maybe the definition given in the post was found in a different dictionary. Autophile is not very common and a lot of dictionaries don’t have it listed.

What do you call (in general) a person who loves trees, skies, ocean, moon? I mean, someone who loves everything in nature. Thanks.
