Odaxelagnia

Odaxelagnia (from Greek: ὀδάξ, odáx, "with the teeth" and Greek: λαγνεία, lagneía, "lust") is a paraphilia involving sexual arousal through biting, or being bitten. Odaxelagnia is considered a mild form of sadomasochism.^[1]^[2]^[3] Alfred Kinsey studied odaxelagnia, reporting that roughly half of all people surveyed had experienced sexual arousal from biting.^[4]
