piquerist
n.— «“Piquerists experience sexual gratification through any type of penetration of another person, and stab wounds, sniper activity, cutting and bite marks are evidence of such a condition.”…It is now clear that the expert’s qualifications were largely perjured, and that the syndrome, dubbed “piquerism” is referenced nowhere but in a true-crime paperback.» —“False credentials cause extensive fallout” by Charles Patrick Ewing Monitor on Psychology July-Aug., 2003.
