I’ve known about certain fetishes for a long time. People being into, what I would consider, strange and unusual things. I consider myself to be “in the know” because hey, I watched HBO’s Real Sex.
It became blazingly obvious how prevalent these fetishes are when one of the biggest searches that landed people on my blog, Rock and Drool, was “belly button fetish”. It was a tag I used when writing about my then toddlers, well, belly button fetish.
I took the tag down because, as a Mommy blogger…who wants posts about her children swarming with people who were, perhaps, looking to get off, right?
Recently I decided to do a little research into the area of strange fetishes. Hey, I’m full of curiosity and fascination about things that are different from what I consider to be somewhat normal.
WOW. It’s amazing and bizarre, the things that turn people on. And it’s not JUST on a sexual level, some of the reasons for these fetishes go SO deep, way beyond sexual satisfaction.
So, aside from Navel fetishism, or umbiliphilia…a sexual attraction to belly buttons, I bring you some of, what I consider to be the doozy whoppers of all things fetish.
1. Paraphilic Infantilism: Wearing diapers during sex. Diapers. During sex. I get g-strings. But diapers?
2. Hematolagnia: A fetish for blood, it can be period blood too. Usually through bloodletting or cutting. Um, yeah.
Sometimes, it can be combined with…
3. Odaxelagnia: Sexual arousal is caused by biting a partner or by being bitten, whether or not blood is drawn.
The two together…we have vampires! Twilight. Le Stat. True Blood.
4. Agoraphilia: Arousal by having sex in public places, or outdoors. Bathroom stalls. Alleyways. On top of the table at that fancy, crowded and newly opened French restaurant. OK, fine, I SORT of “get” this one.
5. Eproctophilia: Farts. The smell. The sound. Personally, I gag. But some get off on it.
6. Oculolinctus: Licking someone’s eyeball. Yes, I’m serious. It’s a real fetish with a fancy Latin name.
7. Hirsutophilia: Being sexually attracted to hair. Armpits, pubic, chest, leg…whatever…makes these people go nuts.
8. Emetophilia: Sexually aroused by vomit. Both watching someone vomit AND being vomited on. I could vomit but I’m afraid I’d turn someone on
9. Gerontophilia: These folks have a tendency to hang out at old folks home. Yeah, they are aroused by the elderly. I mean, the older set are cute and all but, hmmm…
10. Podophilia: One of the most common fetishes, the foot fetish. The sight, smell, fuzz between the toes, dirt under the toenails, dry heel skin. Yep, the whole shoe-bang.
There are more. Oh, so many more. But, I’d rather keep my rosy colored glasses on.
And I won’t even mention the whole golden shower and boston steamer stuff. Because, I just can’t. It’s too gross.
Well, to me it is but my only fetish is sushi. Other than that, I think I must be boring.
What’s the most unusual fetish you’ve ever heard of. And hey, while we are at it, what’s your personal fetish?
