arctophile 

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.
Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.

He works out well because he's such an arsophile. He even bought expensive underwear to dress his butt well!

argophile 

A highly productive but lethargic person. Someone ironically capable of quickly completing work even though s/he generally dislikes doing them in the first place.
"Sean's been complaining about this job for years. I barely see him work and yet he still gets paid in full!? Why haven't we fired him yet?"
"He's an argophile; he never missed a deadline, he hasn't hurt the company, and that works for me."

autophile 

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!).
