An unverifiable neologism that has no assertion of notability. What this subject is not:
This is one of several terms created by a memeber of a fetish internet forum to describe a shared fantasy of some of the members of the discussion board. It's not a real term and this article has been created already once (along with Unbirth and Vorarephilia) by members of their respective internet community in an effort to advertise and legitimize their sexual fetish. This article was already created once and deleted with a Prod. Unbirth was redirected to Vorarephilia the frequent target of soapboxing by the aformentioned internet fetish community.

If weirdness were a cause for deletion Wikipedia would not exist.
Endosomatophilia has become a widely used term on the internet and on IRC (see a Google search). It will not just go away as a term. It deserves a definition that explains its presence as a commonly used term -- by giving the present meaning of its usage.
It is definitely not a pleasant term -- to most people. In a similar sense, atonality in music is not pleasant -- to most people, but deserves (and has) a definition.
Further, because some commonly used term is not a fantasy of mine or yours -- it is not sufficient reason to debase or censor any one of the many thousands of "internet communities".
I am not an ACLU attorney, but am trying to stand up for freedom of speech. In that regard Wikipedia has a fine reputation... up till now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.233.180.52 ( talk) 20:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Thank you NeoFreak, I had already looked at those categories and compared many other terms supported by Wikipedia to the exact same criteria for Endosomatophilia... and found this term as being less a neologism, more reliable, and as well documented as those that are indeed included.
I tried to overlook your misspelling above, as we all make mistakes. I hope your mindset is flexible, as so many people have minds that are closed and stenotic.
