Technically speaking it's not a
man who has sex with cars. As I'm one such I know my subject. An autophile is in love with him or herself sexually. So I'm stuffed for a good word to use (apart from the often heard, insane, crazy,
etc). The only alternative I've heard is automobiliphilia. Quite a mouthful, more than the gearknob of a Jaguar XJ8 so probably won't be popular. There probably should be two words. One for a person who loves his
car on every level and has it as a substitute totally for a
human partner and one for a
man who simply fucks it.
Since I'm simply adding a correction to a word, not sure what a relevent
example would be. Apart from mentioning that I myself am an avid automobilophile, not autophile (not the only
thing in
my life mind!).
