- "Formal study will be necessary to clarify the nature, prevalence, and interrelations of plushophilia, fursuitism, and autoplushophilia among furverts and to document the nature and extent of any co-occurring paraphilias."
- "'Gareth Craven. Likes to do things with dogs.' 'A zoophiliac.' 'They've got a name for it?' 'Everything's got a name. Necrophilia.' 'Dead people.' 'Autoplushophilia.' 'Auto-what?'"
- "Just like autoplushophilia does not always tie into the furry fandom, not all folx with this paraphilia are interested in being furries. As well, despite autoplushophiliacs often emulating plush animals in their role-plays, it does not mean that they are interested in bestiality (sexual encounters with live animals). In fact, it’s the plush aspect that is arousing to them."
Etymology
From auto- (“reflexive, regarding or to oneself”) + plushophilia (“the sexual attraction to plush toys”), from plush (“a plush toy”, noun) + -o- (“a linking vowel inserted interconsonantally between two morphemes to ease pronunciation without contributing to the word's meaning”) + -philia (“abnormal love of something”). Coined in 2009 by the American psychologist, sexologist and physician Anne Lawrence.
