The 10 weirdest and most curious sexual fetishes

Regarding the sex, individual differences prevail, since each of us has different tastes and we get turned on for different reasons. Sex is lived from intimacy, in a private and personal way. In that intimacy we may be able to let ourselves be carried away by our erotic thoughts. At that moment, the mind, body and emotions merge, leading us even to enjoy forbidden situations.

But some people wear their fantasies and their sexual desires further, because sometimes they materialize them in fetish objects, bizarre situations or strange manias, which is known as fetishism, a kind of paraphilia. Fetish fantasies are frequent, but they do not constitute a disorder unless they lead to rituals that are so unacceptable as to interfere with sexual intercourse and cause discomfort individual.

The strangest fetishes

There are more than 130 different categories, but in today's article, we are going to describe the 10 weirdest fetishes.

1. Mechanophilia

Metophilia is a paraphilia in which an individual is turned on by machines (vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, etc.) or gadgets. But what attracts them is not having sex in the vehicle or outside of it, but what excites them is the machine itself. Sex toys or devices, such as vibrators, have nothing to do with mechaphilia.

2. Bias

People with partialism are only aroused to a specific part of the body. The most common is podophilia, that is, getting excited with your feet. But it can also be the hands or feet with heels. Extreme cases only feel arousal when having sex with that part of the body.

3. Ursusagalamatophilia

This type of fetishism called ursusagalamatophilia refers to the excitement that some individuals feel towards people who project qualities and characteristics of animals. For example, a very hairy person considers him a bear. Yes, as it sounds.

4. Salirophilia

The salophilic they get excited with the dirty. Bathing and perfuming before having sex is not their devotion to them, while most of us enjoy hygiene. This type of practice is often accompanied by fantasies of domination and submission, such as the sadism or masochism.

5. Hybristophilia

Hybristophilia or excitement towards criminals it usually dominates in women. They like bullies and are attracted to criminals of all kinds, even those who have committed horrible crimes. It is common for it to occur when the criminal is handsome and his case has had great media notoriety. Good proof of this is the legion of admirers of the serial killer Charles manson. This has nothing to do with women who are attracted to "bad guys."

6. Formicofilia

It is the sexual arousal from having insects (ants, worms, etc.) especially on the genitals, although also throughout the body. In some cases they are also excited by the possibility of stings, for example from bees.

7. Hematophilia

Hematophilia is also known as vampire fetishismas it implies lthe use of blood during sexual intercourse. Not only does their body full of blood turn them on, but the fetish also includes drinking it.

8. Cleptolagnia

Kleptomania is sexual arousal derived from theft. They usually start by stealing from their partner, and then expand their field of action towards others, even strangers. Stolen objects are of little importance, and are usually small objects, which can be easily hidden, to be used later for sexual arousal. This fetish is common in serial killers, and some have even amputated part of the body of their victims to take them as a trophy. Ed gein he kept a box of his victims' noses under his bed.

9. Spectrophilia

This type of fetishism refers to mirror-derived sexual arousal felt by some individuals. The fetishist enjoys both masturbating and having orgies in front of mirrors. They usually place mirrors in every corner of the house to have sex in front of them. Cases of people who have been expelled from the "houses of mirrors" (a typical attraction of carnivals and fairs) have been reported for masturbating inside them. A fetish possibly associated with narcissism.

10. Autonepiphilia
