Types of fetish are numerous and diverse. But whatever they are, something unites them. This is the presence of a certain object, around which a certain fetish "grows". It can be any part of the human body, a piece of clothing, the environment, gait, behavior and appearance. Anything in general. It is difficult to list all varieties of fetish, but some should be paid attention to.
Attraction to the feet
This is one of the most common areas in fetishism, so it’s logical to start with it. Attraction can cause the appearance of the feet and touch them, the smell of their skin and taste, temperature, movement of the fingers. If we talk about the types of foot-fetish, it is worth noting that often it is combined with an increased interest in tights, shoes and stockings.
Still, foot lovers may like to see their partner barefoot, but in jeans. Or, for example, in slippers, sandals, open shoes or high heels. To enhance his feelings, the fetishist often decorates the toes of the partner with rings, and the ankle with chains and bracelets.
It is important to note that people experiencing this attraction have their own particular taste on their feet. They pay attention to their size, to the shape and length of the fingers, to the pedicure. And here, as in everything else, there are no averaged tastes. Everyone’s preferences are individual.
BDSM element
Continuing the theme of types of foot fetish, I would like to note that certain BDSM practices are connected with the attraction to the feet. For example, bastinado. This is a very popular practice involving flogging the feet. In addition, foot fetishists often add variety to their act by exposing the partner's legs to low and high temperatures, tickling, or sharp objects.
Many more practice trampling (trampling the body) or pressing on the feet with the feet of the person who acts as a liability in a pair. And of course, coercion of various kinds in foot fetishism also occurs.
In general, several techniques have been developed in sex related to the attraction to the feet, which were given the name. In addition to the mentioned trampling, these are FeetLicking (tongue caresses), ToeSucking and ToeLicking (a more in-depth and outspoken version of the notorious oral caresses), FeetSniffing (smell inhalation), FootJob (stimulation with soles), and Foot Massage (massage). The latter is most often an element of the preliminary game before sexual intercourse.
By the way, in addition to the above, there is also a foot-fetish “bottom view”. It implies the observation by a person of a naked object of adoration walking on a transparent surface. On a glass table, for example. When the view from below opens up, a certain peeping effect is created. As a result, a surge of a certain amount of adrenaline, which affects the excitement.
Craving for linen
It is impossible not to notice her attention, telling about the types of fetish. Craving for linen is characterized by sexual arousal experienced in clothing items, as well as his satisfaction with them. Very often, craving for linen is associated with the so-called fetish transvestism. This is a type of sexual behavior in which to achieve or enhance the satisfaction of arousal is obtained by dressing in clothes of the opposite sex.
People who are especially passionate about this type of fetish usually try to make themselves visually similar to members of the opposite sex. To do this, they use wigs, jewelry, cosmetics, weights, various kinds of magnifiers, etc.
It is also worth noting the attention of cisvestism. This is called craving to wear clothes that are not appropriate for their age or social status. A vivid example can be considered role-playing games, where a completely adult girl transforms into a schoolgirl.
And there is also the concept of gomesvestizma. This is the satisfaction of one’s excitement by putting on clothing of one’s own sex, but belonging to another person (most often the object of desire or an idol).
Physical preferences
Enumerating the types of fetish, I would like to talk about those whose object is something related to the physical characteristics of a person.
Apothemophilia. The concept is combined with masochism, since the subject of the fetish is physical ugliness. For example, the absence of a limb.
Another concept follows from this concept - acrotomophilia. This is called craving for people with amputated limbs. It is considered sexual deviation (deviation).
Heterochromophilia also occurs. This is an attraction experienced by people of a different skin color.
Passion for pornography
There are many other types of sex fetishes that are worth talking about. Often there is pornography. This is the name of the pathological craze for videos, films and photographs of erotic content. Pornographers differ radically from people who periodically watch something similar. Indeed, for them, content with erotic content is the only incentive to achieve arousal and satisfaction.
This also includes voyeurism. This is a craving for a detailed examination of erotic videos / photographs, an attraction to close-ups, as well as the need for outsiders to observe intimate communication. For many people with similar fetishes, all of the above is the only form of sexual discharge. Often pornographers and voyeurs simply cannot feel the excitement from the upcoming act or from the sight of a naked partner.
Selfish Preferences
Another fairly common occurrence is narcissism. In this case, this is not a character trait, but a sexual attraction to your body and yourself. A “related” fetish is still autosexuality. This is a more complex concept. By it is meant attraction to his body when he is identified with another person. It is quite rare.
The famous German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld gave a clear definition and characterization of autosexuality. This is a type of narcissism in which a man is excited from representing himself in a woman’s body, and vice versa. To satisfy their desires, autosexuals can dress in clothes of the opposite sex in front of a mirror, making their fantasies more realistic.
Strange dispositions
Talking about what types of fetish are, I would like to mention three of them, which can be called the most strange.
Pygmalionism. People with such a fetish are attracted to a still image of the human body. They satisfy themselves by touching him. Also, such fetishists are able to experience the pleasure of owning this subject (mannequin, for example).
Kleptolagnia. People with this fetish are aroused by the idea of being robbed. The fear experienced by them during the theft, and the adrenaline rush that triggers at the same time, gives them incredible pleasure. And it’s better if it is also accompanied by BDSM elements (immobilization, pressing against the wall, etc.).
Crash fetish. It is rare. A person with a crash fetish is aroused by observing how his partner crushes and breaks any objects with his feet.
Attraction to mechanisms
Above was briefly described what kind of fetish is. Many of them are unusual, but you can understand them. Now it’s worthwhile to pay attention to a much more strange kind of fetish. And this is mechanophilia. This is the attraction to cars, as well as motorcycles, helicopters, trucks, airplanes and other mechanisms.
It is not very common, but in 2008, the world became famous for a man named Edward Smith - the one who had sex with a thousand cars! He was interviewed by many media. Edward himself does not consider his love of cars to be something abnormal and assures that cars excite him much more than women, although he was in a relationship with the ladies. Smith’s first “love”, by the way, was the Corvette Stingray, an American sports concept car.
A special "love" for the elements
Considering the various types of sexual fetishes, it is also worth talking about aquafilia. People who are peculiar to it prefer to have sex in or under water, as well as on the seashore, lake, river, pool, bath, etc. If we talk about pornographic content, they most like underwater erotica. In the 90s there was even such a magazine - Aquaphiles Journal.
There is also the so-called pyrilagnia. This is a fetish on fire. People with pyrolagia experience excitement when contemplating a flame. It can be either a fire and a fire, or a candle, or even a match. This fetish has a more serious form called pyromania. This is not just a pathologically experienced need for a person to observe the fire, but also a craving for arson. Pyromania is fraught with consequences, can harm other people, the environment and other people's property, so it must be treated.
Sexual symbolism
This topic cannot be ignored when it comes to the most popular types of fetish. Sexual symbolism is most often identified with retipism. This is the name of the attraction experienced by many people in relation to products made from a certain material.
Most often, retipists are “attracted” to latex and skin. More specifically, gloves, belts, belts, shoes, corsets, pants and other peculiar wardrobe items made from them. Retipists prefer their partner not to take off a product that excites them. In the process of the act, they touch it, stroke it - in general, they perceive it as an integral part of the object of passion.
Retiphism is mostly characteristic of men. Those who do not mind that the girl, wearing high-heeled shoes, even briefly tried on the role of dominant and used her exciting shoes in preliminary caresses.
Other varieties of fetishes
Above, a lot has been said about very popular sexual preferences. But this is far from all types of fetish. The list is calculated not only in tens to hundreds of items. There are preferences that seem quite normal. And there are those that go beyond universal human values and even the Criminal Code. However, a few fetishes in the end I would like to note attention.
Formicophilia. It is unlikely that many have heard about this fetish. Because it is peculiar to people who are excited by spiders or other insects crawling on them.
Plushophilia. It even sounds cute and funny. If you do not remember that this concept means sexual attraction to plush toys.
Forniphilia. This is the name of a fetish that belongs to one of the traditions of BDSM. In fact, it is an attraction to people posing as ... furniture.
In addition, there are fetishes that are not defined by one term. For example, craving to have sex in places that are in principle public, and unwanted “eyes” may appear there. Beach, roof, elevator, mountain plateau, staircase, cinema - there can be many options. The bottom line is that lovers of sex in such places pick up the moment so that no one is there. But the fact that they can be seen adds adrenaline. Some are so passionate about this type of extreme that ordinary sex no longer brings them so much pleasure - there is no that “spark”.
In general, to summarize, we can say the following: a fetish is not something bad and shameful, as many people think because of the stereotypes existing in society. But still in this you need to know the measure and control yourself when necessary.
