ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Erotolepsy

Erotolepsy is a fancy word that means a very strong feeling of attraction or desire towards someone or something. Imagine you really, really like a toy or a candy, and you can't stop thinking about it. That's how some people feel towards another person, but in a romantic or sexual way. It's like having a crush, but much more intense, and it can happen to grown-ups too, not just kids like you. It's important to remember that everyone has different feelings and attractions, and they are all okay as long as they are respectful and consensual.
