The word appeared in ancient Greek. In Idyll 8, line 60, Theocritus uses γυναικοφίλιας as a euphemistic adjective to describe Zeus' lust for women.[10][11][12] Sigmund Freud used the term gynecophilic to describe his case study Dora.[13] He also used the term in correspondence.[14][15] The variant spelling gynophilia is also sometimes used.[16] Rarely, the term gynesexuality has also been used as a synonym. Psychologist Nancy Chodorow proposed that the preoedipal moment of psychological and libidinal focus on the mother, which both boys and girls experience, should be called gynesexuality or matrisexuality for its exclusive focus on the mother.[17] |
