What Turns You On? - Fetishes.

A fetish, from the Portuguese fetico meaning enchantment, is the arousal one gets from, well, just about anything you can think of. We pretty much all have one (or three ) in some form or other and to varying degrees. Normally regarded as an enhancing element to sex, it can be perceived as a disorder if it causes psychosocial distress, is significantly detrimental to life or an addiction. No one is sure how fetishes develop. Freud believed it derived from unconscious fear of Mothers genitals and Mens universal fear of castration - yeah, go figure . Anyway, today it is generally believed however that association is made in ones sexual development and once made is not easily unmade. Leaving aside some of the weirder examples, or not, it is most likely that one discovers some pleasure derived from variations of normal human sexuality and it grows from there.

So what turns you on?

Webcaming has become a multi billion dollar industry and big bucks can be made (especially if you are a young attractive woman) catering to every whim, fantasy and fetish from the safety of ones own home .....

$25.00 to watch you shaving your legs, $50.00 for posting 2 pairs of your smelly socks, $100.00 to see you covered in Baked Beans or Custard and Sauces - no wonder they give up normal work to become webcamers. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from literally anything and there are way to many different variants to discuss, from Underwear (and the smelling thereof) to Bridges (and the marrying thereof) and one involving, simultaneously, frogs and glue . Many, such as Sploshing & Looning & others have their own forums & dating sites. But here just a few of the 'normal' sexual fetishes, followed by some of the more Bizarre, which attract, arouse and get some people hard (or wet).

Stigmatophilia -                        Body Piercings and Tattoos. Be careful of those pretty little butterfly tattoos though, they tend to turn into giant Condors as you get older.

Podophilia and Retifism -         Feet & Shoes respectively. Having a toe fetish I guess is like having a foot fetish - but you get five for the price of one.

Pygophilia -                              Butts and Bums. Um, yes, Very popular

Pictophilia -                              Viewing Porn. My girlfriend is a porn star - she is going to be so pissed off if she ever finds out. 

Urophilia - or Golden Shower.  Yep, I didn't see that coming either but all things urine, it's up there.

Leather, Rubber & Latex -        Need I say more? I guess Lingerie, Vinyl  and Fur.

Partialism -                               A general term for various parts of the body, eyes, armpits, breasts, nose, hair, lips, neck, ears, stomach - blah blah and so on. Is there any part of the body that is not an erogenous zone to someone sometime, I doubt it, we all have our favourites don't we.

But enough of these, lets see a few of the more bizarre fetishes which, as I researched the many and varied, made me think of religious rites & customs, daily news editors and TV programmers.

Stygiophilia -  Arousal to the thoughts of Hellfire and Damnation. No wonder preachers get so excited in the pulpit.

Symphorophilia - The Accident fetish. Arousal from seeing or being involved in Car, Train & Air Crashes, Fires, Explosions, Collapsing Buildings, etc ........ Did someone mention Mythbusters!

Furry Fandom (Yiffing) - Dressing up in anthropomorphic animal suits. Don't you just love Playboy bunnies? Big Bird does nothing for me but Sesame Street, is that where it starts?

Dendrophilia - Sexual attraction to trees, and yes, there have been cases of arrests. Not sure if any law was actually broken though.

Eproctophilia - Arousal from farting. Lots of those in Hollywood (the comedy movie section).

Menophilia - The menstruation fetish.  Possibly goes with Vampirism?

Hybristophilia - Attraction and arousal to the illegal or criminally violent. (à la Bonnie & Clyde). No wonder there are so many crime shows on TV.

Vorarephilia - Eating or being eaten by someone, odd that - I guess it's a one time only fetish, unless you go to church!

Kleptolagnia - Stealing and then going off to masturbate with the stolen item.

Could go on for miles .... there are so many, Ballbusting and Cuntbusting (self expanatory) for example which I actually saw on a late night TV sex documentary. Getting a hard on when someone kicks you in the nuts ........ Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

Then there is always Agalmatophilia - well thats us guys and dolls, together with Pygmalion, ..... I guess there is a bit of fetish in all of us . Considering how much 'out of the ballpark' stuff is 'out there' which arouses, one feels positively plain & mundane with simple silicone dolls.

So what does turns you on?
