| Known as "Schediaphilia" or "Toonophilia", the idea is defined as "sexual and romantic attraction of a human being toward a cartoon or anime character". The condition is a form of something else called Fictiophilia, the attraction to fictional characters, both animated and human. |

| Yes, basically to all of my favourite characters. How couldn't you be sexually attracted to them while having watched/read the shows/manga they're in? |

| I would assume that most people on this website will be in one way or another. As for me I definitely am attracted to various degrees both romantically and sexually to many anime characters. And I don't really see any problem with it. I'm not sure why psychiatrists have to create -philias for all kinds of inconsequential stuff like that. I would assume all throughout the history majority of people would be in one way or another attracted to fictional characters from books, art, etc. Attraction happens to human characteristics and whether these characters are actually real or not is secondary for most people imo. |
wacky_Content said: danny devito is the most handosome and sexy anime character i ever saw. truly a muse I see a man of exceptional taste. He's easily the sexiest character in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. |
| Not like I used to. My emotions broke some years back. Lil_hentai said: "Schediaphilia" or "Toonophilia" what the fuck are they making up these words for like we are sick or something lol. Its not like we think we can actually have sex and have relationships with fictional characters, they are just simply attractive or really well written so we like them, its like the most bread and butter thing ever and here they are making up scietific terms and shit. A paraphilia isn't inherently a paraphilic disorder. There used to be no distinction in psychology but more recently there has been a distinction made. It's only a disorder if it's damaging for oneself or others. |

| Yes,more than 3d dudes because i'm just that much of a freak. |
 |
| Of course, why would I not be attracted to perfection. Some day I'm gonna marry my waifu and walk down the isle with a figurine |
 |
| They can be cute but it's difficult to be emotionally or sexually attracted to something that exists on a 2D. |
 |
| Romantically not really, but sexually fuck yeah. How else could I fap to doujins and hentai if I didn't find them sexually attractive? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Aren't you "not a fan of anime" if you're not attracted to any anime characters? Both sexually and emotionally. I think it is essential for someone to be attracted to an anime character. To a certain extent it is acceptable and totally fine... but well if someone buys a dakimakura and have a sex with it then i'd like to question about their humanity. Sexually, i'm attracted to any blonde, white skinned, good looking character. Not fat and not too slim to the point of thin as stick. And they must be a female... Best example for this... is Aiz Wallenstein. But tbh, @emranaash you made it sound ambiguous by putting the word sexually here... |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
| Yes, it's easy to get sexually attracted to any attractive anime character. In fact, it's a really common thing. |
 |
Pffft of course not I like Kogami, Trao and many others only because they're cool dudes hehe |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Emotionally yes to my most favorite character, a bit too much actually and that's actually bad for me since his creators are complete assholes towards him and the series itself has trash writing. Sexually, nah, good luck to anyone who thinks they can get me sexually attracted to anything in existence. |

Preach! *nods* Anyways, I think I'm emotionally attracted and dependent on my ships. I mean, it's something I can't live without, rather than somekind of enjoyment only. |

| i mostly fap to hentai, so yes. emotional attraction tho? eh maybe? sometimes i don't fap to some chars after i watch a show where said chars get in a wholesome relationship, but that prob doesn't count as an attraction. |
on 
| This is really like a "Do you breathe oxygen?" question of the year, asking if contributors on an anime forum are sexually or emotionally attracted to any anime character. It's like asking football fans, "Do you like to root for a team and cheer when they score a goal on the opposing side?" Hah! But yes, it's safe to say I feel that way at the bare minimum about every female character at least in my favorites list. |
| Hell yeah, this is the future |
| Well, there are anime and cartoon characters I do think are *really* hot but I haven't developed romantic feelings for any of them. |
Take care of yourself |
| What a wierd question to ask in a community where 90% of the people spend most of their time lewding characters or fighting over best girl, best boy and best ship. |

| My heart skips a beat when I see Tetsuro Kuroo on screen. |
| No. I actually haven't even considered this before, and I have seen a lot of both anime & manga. I may have related to a few characters on an emotional scale in the past, but I've never felt any sort of attraction to a character. |
 |
I'm always in love when I see Saber on-screen. Also, I'm sexually attracted to Revy and she shares many of my thoughts and style just converted to a feminine version. I call my attraction to her an ''Espirit de Corps'' as I have a high degree of loyalty to the character. In third comes USS Iowa, honestly, I never wanted to fuck a ship so hard in my life. That's definitely a good ship.  So, yeah I'm sexually attracted to my 2d characters. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
| Yes and I am in fact only romantically/emotionally/sexually attracted to 2D characters. |
| Yeah I am, don't see why I shouldn't be. |
     |
| Emotionally yes. There were times I had feelings for characters that i thought i could only have for real humans. I‘ve never considered being sexually attracted tho. But there are some I think are really hot and my type. I guess everyone has experienced this to some point. |
| I don't think I've ever crushed on an anime character like I would with someone irl. However, with some of these designs you'd have to be some kind of Puritan to say they weren't sexy as hell. |
| SO THERE'S A TERM FOR IT NOW. xD Gundam Wing was my official awakening to "Wow, boys are hot". From that year on, I spent many a show drooling over every pretty anime boy who was 'my type'. Today? I'd f*** Issac Foster like there was no tomorrow. xD (and there wouldn't be because he'd kill me before I even got to second base AHAHAHAHAHAHA) There are other adult characters I'd go after as well... |
  |
| Um, yeah? If you're not immediately searching up related doujins after completing a series, then I don't what the hell you're doing. |
| i mean like.....if you're talking seuxally only as a joke. like yes i'll make posts going like i wAnT hIM tO cHoKE mE and talking about how hot they are but it's not as if I full on pull my noodle thinking about them, that's kinda sad and weird. i understand emotion, i think everyone has or had comfort characters, or characters that inspired them, or made them feel happier and motivated in life, things like that. |
| I kind of just assumed that came with the territory to be honest. |
| "If it's not big, it's only a bust," some guy on the internet |
| I guess I haven't watched any anime with solid female cast yet because there is not a single female character I'm remotely attracted sexualy or emotionally. Maybe the only character I find somewhat memorable is Faye Valentine but I only thought she was cool. I feel like even after all these years, female characters still are not designed and portrayed as interesting as male characters. Unfortunately. |
| Yes. It's a big shadow over my irl relationships. Sousuke Yamazaki and Levi Ackerman will be the death of me. |

| As a species, I'm pretty sure no matter the time, someone has looked upon something created by another human being and went "damn that looks good" or "damn, I wanna fuck it". I mean, come on, let's all admit, The Birth of Venus is a very attractive painting, and you can be DAMN sure someone back in the mid-1480s saw it and had something rise that certainly wasn't the Shield Hero. Either way. Yeah, anime has made me feel the emotions, and YES, I've certainly got a good "collection". |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
