Pyrolagnia refers to sexual urges and arousal from watching large fires. This can manifest itself in role-playing and fantasies that involve fire before and during sex. Partners may imagine themselves as firefighters, dragons, and other imagery associated with fire. They are only limited by their imagination. Preferred venues may include bonfire-lit campsites, fireplaces, and the like.
A person afflicted with pyrolagnia may find it really tempting to start their own fire. This may be possible in specific circumstances, such as camping out. With proper training and safety precautions, they can safely enjoy a big fire. However, some restraint should be practiced when fiery circumstances are risky or impossible. Make do with role-playing or watching firefighter movies, such as Backdraft, to create excitement.
