Tantalolagnia

People who suffer from tantalolagnia experience sexual arousal in response to taunts.

The term comes from the Greek word lagena, which means coition or love, and Tantalus, the name of a Greek ruler who was punished for his crimes by being offered fruit and water that would move away from his touch when he grabbed for them. The origin of the word tantalize, which is closely connected to the word tease, is also found in Tantalus. The suffix "lagnia" is frequently used to indicate fetishes.
