Referring to someone who has a need for a belief or beliefs, and is uncritical about which or what they might be. You might find it useful when you encounter 'new age' types who are into crystals, feng shui, tarot cards, astrology: anything so long as it sustains belief.
To feel the need to believe in things just for the sake of believing, and be utterly unconcerned with any evidence for and against. The root of all religion.
Mary: I went to a tarot card reader earlier and she told me I would be in good fortune this week, and my astrology chart says it too. So I'm going to bet my house on the Grand National.
Tom: You like believing things, don't you?
Mary: Yes, I've got credophilia
An erotic affinity for cold people, places, & things.
An organism's sensuous need for cold temperatures.
A bdsm fetish where the fetishist(s) engage in bdsm play related to cold temperature;
"Id est COLD play".
I modestly refused to shake their cold hand, out of fear of revealing my cryophilia.
My cryophilia gets me into a lot of trouble in the winter; when the cold air hits me, it sends shivers throughout my body making me feel ecstatic.
