Dacryphilia

This article is part of the SM-201 Macropedia

Dacryphilia (also known as dacrylagnia) is a form of paraphilia where pleasure is derived from tears and/or emotional situations. It is most often associated with sexual arousal, though the term covers all forms of pleasure from the tears of others. The arousal is achieved when viewing a person in emotional distress. It carries the theme where a person (often a Dominant in a BDSM relationship) induces another (the submissive) to cry, or otherwise show a strong emotion.
