Definition:

Agoraphilia refers to the experience of sexual excitement from being outdoors in public places and having sex in public places. Very little has been written about agoraphilia, but it seems useful to think of this as related to, but also distinguished from, exhibitionism. For someone who is agoraphilic the excitement doesn’t come primarily from showing ones genitals to strangers, or being caught having sex, it comes from the outdoor or public setting itself.
