Odd fetishes

[Bramblethorn]

Theres a street in Amsterdam that's perfect for this.

BAD WANDA.

BAD WANDA.

So bad. So, so bad.

Not so long ago, maybe a few days ago, there was someone complaining about his stories being rejected on Lush because they contain elements of fart fetish. Is that an odd one? I wonder. I know Scat is quite popular in some circles, but farts?

It's certainly around. I've seen more than one discussion with people trying to figure out how to fart on cue to cater to it.

I love learning about weird fetishes (when pursued ethically, natch). Even when it doesn't do anything for me personally, it gives me a kind of pride in humanity to be reminded of our capacity for being into unexpected things.

Years ago I read The Bigger They Are (balloon fetish), and had a total jaw-drop reaction to it.

Which stories have you read that are just -- so odd, that they left you feeling weirdly vanilla and normal and boring?

I mentioned a couple of times that I used to think I was a huge pervert due to having a foot fetish and liking soft, seductive femdom. Literotica showed me how vanilla I am, even if I understand that Lit's population isn't exactly representative in any way.

There are some downsides to spending time here, but there's also a part that's therapeutic in more than one sense. Writing, discussing things with people who come from different cultures, realizing that so many people here struggle with something, with being different in some way... It's therapy of a sort, even if I see that for some, it can become an obsession as well.

Weirdest fetish?

Vore, perhaps. I can't figure that one out at all. Also, the sheer popularity of tentacle sex. People here are just weird!

Tentacle porn has been around since at least the 18th-century, but its present-day popularity has a lot to do with post-WWII Japanese censorship laws. Those laws banned visual depiction of penises penetrating vaginas but didn't mention things like tentacles, so artists used tentacle sex as a work-around, and those Japanese works eventually spawned imitators elsewhere.

This is also part of the story of bukkake/facial porn, since it gives a sexual act that can be portrayed without showing unblurred genitalia.

I’m kind of scared to try new, weird things because all the fetishes I have now started as things I never thought I’d like… but then I gave them a try, and somehow they clicked.

Rule 34 is a terrible thing.

The canonical tentacle porn Japanese art predates WWII by almost 150 years. I was always mystified by the idea until one of the writers here took the time to explain the appeal to me (Thank you @NuclearFairy ) I think I get at least one take on it now -- there may be different appeals to different people.

@PennyThompson introduced me to the concept of monster fucking. I knew of tentacle porn, but hadn't gotten the appeal, but I had never heard of the monster fucking genre. That one was easier for me to grasp.

It is one of the things I like about getting to know different writers here and exploring their catalogues. I have learned new vantage points to the sexual experience. I like to think it makes me a better, more understanding person.

I love weird fetishes. Bramblethorn said it right above. They're a great reminder of the plenitude of human experience. The sheer richness and nuttiness. There's always something new to learn, and the more I learn the more I realize how little I know (that wasn't elegantly put).

The tentacle fetish is one of my favorites because it is truly weird and it's also surprisingly common, with unexpected roots in Japanese culture (possibly the nuttiest and most interesting culture on Earth). I wrote my own.

I remember when I read my first "hucow" story, and my jaw dropped at just how bizarre it was. So, of course, I had to write my own.

I think the smoking fetish is weird. Inspired by Bazzle, I've decided to try my own smoking story.

The tentacle fetish is one of my favorites because it is truly weird and it's also surprisingly common, (...)

It is, even in highly esteemed literature. Because honestly, what else could Lewis Carrol have had in mind when he was writing about them 'slithy toves' that 'gyre and gimble in the wabe'?

I seem to remember, when I was first exploring this website, that I saw a story in Fetish that made me think ‘ok, this seems to be the place’: it was very specifically about Asian women who smoke in basements.

Sadly, I’m not much of a fetishist myself but I love their attention to detail. Serious people.

I think I've linked the Roy Orbison in Clingfilm site before, but here it is again: https://www.michaelkelly.artofeurope.com/karl.htm

Yes, this is why I said "since at least the 18th century".

 

[SimonDoom]

BAD WANDA.

You're just encouraging her when you say that.

 

[Bamagan]

In a story I'm currently writing, the narrator discovers she has a hat fetish. Perhaps more specifically, she's a quasi-nudist who gets off extra hard when she or her lovers are wearing 'fancy' hats. I guess it's maybe an aspect of voyeurism, where having an accessory like a hat makes the lack of clothing seem even more pronounced... extra naked, as it were.

I must admit to a secret scat fetish. I have quite a collection of Ella Fitzgerald and Danny Kaye videos which my wife doesn't know about

Uh... Do I want to read this interview, @SimonDoom ?

I've seen a couple stories that featured farts. I thought it was an odd fetish.

That ain't me, babe. No, no, no that ain't me babe.

One of my wife's friends told her that her ex used to love to lick her armpits and would get her to let him fuck her arm while it was by her side so he was getting a 'pit job'.

The weirdest thing I've heard-because to me I think there's an illness of some sort here-is someone being aroused by funerals, specifically kissing the female family members on the cheek and expressing condolences. I can't recall what they refer to it as, but these men-men seem to have way more fetishes than women-would go to funerals of people they didn't even know and act like a co-worker or distant friend while there.

Bizarre.

As a younger man, I once saw a man ejaculating onto the face of a goat. One of the most surreal things I've ever encountered and it obviously filled me with queasiness and revulsion and indeed concern for the goat (though those things eat poison ivy so...). Anyway, you don't see that in Playboy, I remember thinking.

The really weird thing though was that I only had to pay the guy about 4 bucks to do it.

[Please note: No goats were harmed in the making of this joke. Also, I’m sorry.]

 

[StillStunned]

Also, I’m sorry.

Are you? Are you really?

 

[GuiltyCowboy]

Are you? Are you really?

I’m still laughing. I can’t help it.
