A fake term someone made up in 2008 to describe a variety of sexual fetishes,
preferences and kinks including melolagnia (arousal from music), acousticophilia (fetish for various sounds) and ecouteurism (
eavesdropping on people for
sexual pleasure).
"I'm aroused by music. I have auralism."
"No mate, you have melolagnia."
"I'm
sexually aroused by auditory stimulus, including music, songs, poetry, speaking in a particular foreign language, screaming, panting, moaning, groaning, and
heavy breathing. I have auralism"
"No mate. You are an acousticophiliac"
"I get off on
eavesdropping on people having sex without them knowing. I have auralism."
"No mate. You're describing ecouteurism"
