**A New Word**

Just as Elvina (hugs! and kisses!) found herself a new word, 'Ethnocentrism', I found myself a new word too: Redophile. Stumbled upon it while surfing the net.

Redophile aka The Redhead Fetish
There are some people (male and female) who describe themselves as "redophiles." These people have a strong love for, and usually, are sexually attracted to redheads. As in any paraphilia, there are varying degrees to which a self-described redophile holds their desire. While some people favor the red hair solely for its aesthetic pleasantness, others are more passionate and insist on giving their attentions only to natural redheads because they possess certain desired physical features like pale skin that never tans, freckles, light pink areolas, and red pubic hair. In addition to having appealing physical traits, redophiles perceive redheads as generally being more passionate than other people. Redophiles feel that having this in a partner is an additional spice to life that promises to always keep things interesting. Also, since redheads are such a small minority in the world, redophiles see redheads as a rare find, and thus are worthy of being treasured like pearls.

Please don't salah faham. I like red hair for its "aesthetic pleasantness", nothing more. I have no sexual fetishes over it.

BTW, Lindsay Lohan, why did you go blonde???
