Exophilia is an attraction, generally sexual in nature, to new, strange, or otherworldly things, such as extraterrestrial lifeforms, supernatural beings, and robots. Exophilia may be regarded as the sexual form of neophilia, which is the more generalized attraction to new and unknown things.

"Neophilia" awesome. Would that make the staff of BoingBoing sex addicts then?
I should have linked to "Wikidumper" before. I guess I was waiting to see if Pickover would keep it updated. Looks like he's doing a good job.

Well, they're definitely neophiles. But I don't see a sexual component. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
