Pervestis Arousal Escapism 

(n); Mental disorder, PAE. Can become Chronic (CPAE), or Acute (APAE) depending on the strength of the associated urges. PAE in males is marked by a desire to be measured for clothes by an attractive young woman followed by a subsequent arousal due to the close proximity of her hands to the patient's genitalia. PAE is a replacement form of escapism where otherwise an extramarital affair or midlife crisis would have been the only other available options.
