From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dendrophilia (or less often dendrophily) literally means "love of trees". The term may refer to a paraphilia in which people are sexually attracted to or sexually aroused by trees. This may involve sexual contact or veneration as phallic symbols or both.[1]
Brenda Love claims that trees were ancient symbols of fertility and men on certain days would ejaculate on tree trunks.[2]
