Amaurophilia

Amaurophilia refers to a person's sexual preference for a blind, or blindfolded' sex partner. This type of sexual activity may also be conducted by engaging in sexual intercourse in complete darkness.

Amaurophilia may be classified as a fetish, but may occur due to religious guilt, low self-esteem issues, or feelings of inadequacy. Documented cases highlight a sense of comfort for select rape victims when engaged in amaurophilia.

It can also be noted that tactile stimulations may reach great sensitivity in semi, or complete darkness.
