Get the comophobia mug.Compuphilia is the sexual attraction to computers.
Hammersley and Kendick8 (2005) theorized that either of the following situations could be antecedents to compuphilia(pp. 161):
1. The compuphile develops poor self-esteem
(a) He (usually male) is very fearful of rejection by women and he desires a sexual partner who is incapable of rejecting him
2. He develops an exciting fantasy of sex with a computer, sometimes after prolonged exposure to a computer.
The authors also reported that, of their sample of 'compuphiliacs,' 68 percent were motivated by a desire for an unresisting and unrejecting partner; 21 percent by a want for union with machinery; 15 percent by sexual attraction to computers; 15 percent by a desire for comfort or to overcome feelings of isolation; and 12 percent by a desire to remedy low self-esteem by expressing power over a computer (pp. 159).

Get the Compuphilia mug.The act of disliking people whom act camp.
It is common for someone who dislikes a camp persons behaviour to be criticized for being homophobic, particularly if the person behaving camp is homosexual. However more often than not, it is not that the person dislikes that they are homosexual, it is that they do not like the hightened, over-the-top, feminine behaviour. Rather than a person being wrongly criticized for being homosexual, the term campophobia can be used.
