ablutophilia (bathing / showers) ?Ablutophilia is the sexual stimulation as the result of showering or bathing. The sexual arousal may be the result of a tactile sensation from water, the temperature of the water, or may be psychological as the result of social or media influences, such as shower scenes in movies, or past self-experiences. This philia is often combined with other fantasies, such as BDSM or forced sex environments, (such as a sports team in a locker room setting.) Because nudity is prevelant in a bathing envirnoment, this is a fairly common philia, as many individuals experience an early sexual experience in such an environment. Ablutophiliacs also can combine this fetish with aquaphilia, watersports, depilation, or asphyxiphilia; or may use the water as a source of lubrication for penetration. |

acrophilia (heights / high elevations) ?Acrophilia, considered by some to be a type of paraphilia, is a sexual attraction to places with a high elevation, often combined with a danger element. Typically, the endorphins resulting from the natural reaction to being at great height causes sexual stimulation for the individual, sometimes combined with other dangerous acts to heighten the emotional and physical simulation. Sometimes, though rarely, this may be combined with a fantasy of falling or flying. |

acousticophilia / audiophilia (sounds) ?Acousitcophilia is the sexual arousal from aural stimulation. The specifics of the sound which generates arousal can vary greatly from person to person. This fetish is sometimes referred to as audiophilia, though technically a misnomer. While most commonly associated with the sexual arousal from loud sounds, (explosions, bangs, and bursts,) this can also be used to describe someone who experiences sexual stimulation or arousal from specific sounds which the majority would not find sexually arousing, such as car horns, sirens, etc. Typically, the sexual arousal is associated with an early experience where the sound or noise, or type of noise, was experienced during sexual development. |

actirasty (sunlight) ?Actirasty is the sexual arousal from sunlight, or the sun's rays. This can include the desire to have sex in sunlight, or can be based on the sensory/tactile sensations of sunlight in itself. In rare cases, this fetish can be dangerous, as it can lead to severe sunburn or skin damage. This fetish is also loosely tied to a sexual attraction to people with deep suntans or sunburn, or can be tied to using sunburn as a BDSM techinque. This fetish also sometimes runs in parallel to an exhibitionism fetishism, such as agoraphilia. |

aeriophilia (anæsthesia) ?Aeriophilia is a very specialized sub-category of medical fetishism in which sexual arousal is induced by the idea of general anesthesia, and the various equipment and paraphernalia related to its use. Of particular interest to most (though not all) people with this fetish are the masks through which gaseous anesthetic agents are administered. Old-style anesthesia masks of black rubber - nicknamed Black Beauty - are particularly revered. People with this fetish may have a desire to administer anesthesia to someone, to be anesthetized themselves, to watch someone else being anesthetized, or any combination of these. Most common in this philia is the use of nitrous oxide [dinitrogen monoxide / N2O] which is known to cause a numb, tingling feeling in low doses, and drowsiness or sleep in higher doses when mixed with oxygen. Due to the dangerous nature of anesthetics, inexperienced or casual play involving them is extremely risky - even the hands of trained professionals they are potentially very dangerous. Hypoxia, asphyxiation, suffocation, and death may occur if gases are not administered properly. |

agalmatophila (statues / mannequins) ?Agalmatophilia (from the Greek agalma 'statue', and -philia = love) is a paraphilia concerned with the sexual attraction to a statue, doll, mannequin or other similar figurative object. The attraction may include the desire for actual sexual contact with the objects, a fantasy of having sexual (or non-sexual) encounters with the animate or inanimate instances of the preferred objects, the act of watching encounters between the objects themselves, or sexual pleasure gained from thoughts of being transformed or transforming another into the preferred object. Agalmatophilia may also encompass Pygmalionism (from the myth of Pygmalion) which describes a state of love for an object of one's own creation. An important fantasy for some individuals is being transformed into the preferred object (such as a statue) and experiencing an associated state of immobility or paralysis. Such fantasies may be extended to roleplaying, and the self-coined term used by fetishists who enjoy being transformed appears to be "rubber doll" or "latex doll". |

agnotitaphilia (chastity) ?Chastity is the act of abstaining from sexual activity or stimulation. For purposes of the fetish culture, this usually is accomplished by use of a bondage device, such as a chastity belt, tube, sheath or cage. They are a means for the wearer to surrender their sexual behaviour, either for sexual play, a long-term method of preventing infidelity, or masturbation.
There is something wonderfully paradoxal about getting off on not being able to get off... |

agniphilia / sthenolagnia (wrestling / fighting / combat) ?Agonophilia is the paraphilia involving sexual arousal derived from the act of fighting, or participating in or observing a combat sport, such as wrestling, boxing or kickboxing, martial arts, etc., or from viewing depictions thereof; from the Greek agonos (combat, struggle, conflict) and philia (love of).
Agonophilia often also involves the fetishizing of the equipment associated with combat sports (i.e. boxing gloves/trunks, safety gear, martial arts uniforms, etc.). |

aisthitirakiphilia (sensory deprivation) ?Sensory deprivation is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds or hoods and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing respectively, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'.
Some people enjoy sensory deprivation because it allows them to be in a meditative state, others because it is said to enhance your remaining senses, (that it to say, if hearing, sight, and sound are taken away, the sense of touch is heightened.) |

alphamegamia / adolescentism / infantilism (baby play) ?Paraphilic infantilism is a paraphilia characterized by the desire to wear diapers, due to reasons other than medical necessity, and/or be treated as an infant or toddler. It is also characterized by the carrying out of these desires on a regular basis. Within the community of such diaper wearers, one who engages only in the erotic or sexual aspect of diaper wearing without experiencing any accompanying regression fantasies is known as a diaper lover (or DL). An adult who only engages in the infantilistic play aspect is known as an adult baby (or AB). An adult who may experience both of these things is referred to as an AB/DL. In 2004, an informal online survey of 80 adult diaper wearers showed that approximately 40% considered themselves strictly DL's, approximately 40% were mixed, and 20% considered themselves strictly AB's. The survey also indicated that there is a significant number of teenagers who engage in this practice. Findings of the American Psychiatric Association indicate that a majority of infantilists are heterosexual males.
DL's and AB's differ in self-image and the focus of attention. Neither includes a sexual preference for children.There is no singular, archetypical behavior for paraphilic infantilism, but a wide range of thought patterns and behaviors. Some fantasize about being free of guilt, responsibility, or control, whereas others might not. Some act indistinguishably from a baby at times, while others practice in a way that would probably not be noticed by passers by on the street. The desires and tastes of paraphilic infantilists vary around common themes of diapers and babyhood. |

amiomixaphilia (incest fantasy / family play) ?Incest refers to any sexual activity between closely related persons (often within the immediate family) that is illegal or a social taboo. The type of sexual activity and the nature of the relationship between persons that constitutes a breach of law or social taboo vary with culture and jurisdiction. Some societies consider it to include only those who live in the same household, or who belong to the same clan or lineage; other societies consider it to include "blood relatives"; other societies further include those related by adoption or marriage. |

anophelorastia / agonophilia (abduction / ravishment) ?Anophelorastia is the sexual arousal resulting from a fantasy-based sexual scenario where the top fictitiously seizes or abducts the consenting bottom and has complete control to do what he/she pleases.
This fetish often co-incides with bondage and rape fetishism, aligned with the desire of a submissive to feel completely helpless and at the control of the dominant. The reverse may also be true, where the dominant desires total control over the submissive...
This fetish/desire can also co-incide with other fantasy-based desires, such as alien abduction, medical fetishism, etc. |

apopnigophilia (face sitting / smothering / queening) ?Apopnigophilia is sexual gratification from the act of facesitting. Also known as queening, is a sexual practice in which one partner sits on or over the other's face, typically to allow or force oral-genital or oral-anal contact, or to further ass worship or body worship. It is common for this position to form part of BDSM, involving dominance and submission, though this need not be the case. Within a BDSM or D/s context, face-sitting can be an especially intense form of erotic humiliation.
Facesitting is common among dominant and submissive individuals, for demonstrating superiority and for sexual gratification. It is also practiced by couples for cunnilingus where the woman kneels over the man, and sits on his upper chest rather than face.
Unlike smothering, in facesitting the bottom partner is not always deprived of air.
The full-weight body-pressure, moisture, sex odors and darkness can be perceived as powerful sexual attractions or compulsions. The person sat upon may be in bondage, sexually submissive, or simply held down by the body-weight of the other person. Sometimes special furniture is used, such as a smotherbox or queening stool. |

asthenolagnia (humiliation) ?Sexual humiliation is the consensual use of psychological humiliation in a sexual context, whereby one person gains arousal or erotic excitement from the mixed and powerful emotions of being humiliated and demeaned. The humiliation need not be sexual in itself, as with many other sexual activities it is the feelings derived from it which are sought, regardless of the nature of the actual activity. It can be verbal or physical, and can be relatively private or public. Often it can become ritualized, and unlike some sexual variations it can also be easily carried out over a long distance or online. The distinction between humiliation and dominance in an activity such as erotic spanking is that the sought after effect is primarily the humiliation, the activity is just a means to that end.
Whilst mild or moderate humiliation is not an uncommon part of BDSM or other sexual roleplay, humiliation play can be taken to a point where it becomes considered edgeplay by most people, either due to its extreme nature or due to the controversial views on its psychological impact. This is a highly subjective issue, and depends greatly on context. |

baloniphilia / baloonism / looning (balloons) ?Balloon fetishism is a fetish in which a person has an unusual fascination of, or pertaining to, balloons, which provides sexual arousal or stimulation. Many persons with this fetish casually refer to themselves as looners. The fetish itself varies greatly from person to person, some people enjoy only the act of inflation itself or viewing members of their desired sex inflating balloons, while others enjoy the act of popping by various means, while yet others simply find stimulation in the color, clarity, smell, tactile sense, sound, and movement of the balloon itself. There are several known female balloon fetishists, however the vast majority is made up of men. |

barebacking / sans condom (raw / unprotected sex) ?Before the discovery of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, anal sex with and without condoms was not distinguished (in communication) among men who have sex with men (MSMs). While there were STD prevention campaigns that encouraged condom use, most gay men saw a trip to the clinic for antibiotics as an easy solution to any negative consequences. However, as the understanding of pathways for the transmission of HIV/AIDS was further understood, (see HIV for more information); researchers encouraged condom usage as an effective way to reduce HIV transmission.
The gay male community, having been affected the most by this pandemic, mobilized quickly and the practice of unprotected anal sex quickly became taboo within the community. This was the time, when the need for a term to describe the difference between "protected" and "unprotected" sexual acts arose.
Barebacking as a practice is claimed to have become increasingly common again among MSMs in the mid-1990s. Reasons for this belief are widespread, and include correlations based on: an "upswing" in the level of new HIV infections amongst gay men in younger age groups cited by the World Heath Organisation, a more public presence of "bareback" literature, personal ads, and publicity of rebellious attitudes towards the practice.
Barebacking has become a fetish among some in the gay community. In addition to bareback pornography, there are websites and discussion boards on the Internet devoted exclusively to barebacking that feature pictures of men engaged in bareback sex, personal advertisements of men seeking bareback sex with other men and erotic short stories involving barebacking. This subculture has developed its own slang terms, such as "breeding". |

bastinado (foot torture) ?Foot torture, variously known as bastinado, falanga (phalanga), and falaka (falaqa), is a form of torture wherein the human feet are beaten with an object such as a cane or rod, a club, a piece of wood, or a whip. It is a form of punishment often favoured because, although extremely painful, it leaves few physical marks, though evidence can be detected via ultrasound technology.
The fetish may be influenced by the sensitivity of the feet, or may conincide with a foot fetish. |

bukkake (mass ejaculation) ?Bukkake is a group sex practice wherein a series of people take turns ejaculating onto someone. There can be strong overtones of erotic humiliation in this practice. Various styles exist, but a common form of bukkake seen in such publications will involve a woman or man sitting, lying down, or kneeling while men (or functional transsexuals) approach to masturbate until they ejaculate on her/his body, primarily on the face or in the mouth. The semen is left on the face as another man repeats the routine.
It is to be assumed that a significant factor in the development of bukkake was the mandatory censorship of porn (porn mosaic) in Japan. Since the directors could not show penetration they had to invent new, visually-appealing ways to approach sex acts that would satisfy the audience without violating Japanese law .
One urban myth purports that the practice originated in feudal Japan as a method of punishing women who had committed adultery. |

caninilalia (dog play / puppy play / obedience) ?Caninilalia, also known as Dog Play, or Puppy Play is a form of erotic sexual role-play where one or more of the participants takes on the role of a real or imaginary animal in character, including appropriate mannerisms and behavior, and sometimes a partner will act as another animal, or in a sexual context may take the role of rider, trainer or caretaker (or sometimes breeding partner). The principal theme of human-animal roleplay is usually the voluntary or involuntary reduction (or transformation) of a human being to animal status, and focus on the altered mind-space created.
Typically, the fantasy is enhanced by props. The "dog" wears bondage mittens to simulate paws and make him/her more helpless, and has a butt plug with an attached tail to simulate a real tail. He/she should have a collar with a leash. A dog-like hood adds greatly to the authenticity. A gag may be used to stop the "dog" talking and again make him/her more helpless. Bondage may be used to force the "dog" to stay in role, such as binding the legs double with the heels pressed against the buttocks, and/or having chains between the thighs and forearms, to make someone stay on all fours. |

capnolagnia (smoking) ?moking fetishism ("capnolagnia") is a sexual fetish (paraphilia), consisting of the fetishisation of the smoking of tobacco and marijuana. Among heterosexual men, the fetish is often associated with oral fixations and fellatio.
A number of smoking fetish websites and discussion groups dedicated to gay men exist. The smoking fetish in gay men appears to be somewhat different from the general smoking fetish. There seem to be several subgroups of fetishists which differ depending on what aspect of smoking they found arousing. Some involve taking pleasure in watching visually dominant men smoking. For instance, it might include big and hairy men or men in uniform smoking a cigar, although the fetish might not be linked to cigar smoking. Another subgroup involves a fascination of young men smoking (usually cigarettes). |

chronophilia / alphmegamia (age play) ?Chronophilia is sexual attraction to specific age ranges. Alphmegamia is the sexual engagement between an older male and younger female. Ageplay is a form of regressive roleplay in which a physical adult takes on the role of a child. This may be purely regressive (in order to re-experience childhood in a non-sexual sense), or sexual (the roleplaying of a child/adult relationship in sex, which may be a sexual fetish and is often grouped within BDSM).
Roleplaying adult/child scenarios sexually is controversial as it can arouse concern in many people's minds, due to the sensitive nature of its subject matter. However as with other sexual fantasy it is not, by itself, necessarily a problem, and can be for some, a healthy or healing outlet, and for others like any fantasy an exploration of different roles and feelings. |

In human sexuality this has broadened out to include mutual exploration of roles, emotions and activities (such as sensation play, the exploration of intense physical sensation as an end in itself) which would be difficult or impossible to do without a willing partner taking an opposing role. |

Erotic electrostimulation has been particularly associated with BDSM activities, although its use is becoming more "mainstream." Different sorts of electrodes are used for erotic electrostimulation, such as specially designed vaginal plugs, vulval skin electrodes, anal plugs, cock rings, catheters, cock-and-ball torture (CBT) boards, etc. Electrodes usually require an electrically conductive gel to be applied before use.

Other sources include performers from J-pop, J-rock, visual kei, fantasy music stories (such as stories by the band Sound Horizon), novels, and objects from cyberspace or the real world that are unique and dramatic (especially if they have or can be given an anthropomorphic form). Cosplay participants ("cosplayers") form a subculture centered around wearing their costumes and reenacting scenes or inventing likely behavior inspired by their chosen sources. In some circles, the term cosplay has been broadened to include simply wearing a costume, without special consideration given to enacting characters in a performance context. |

schizophilia (fisting) ?Fisting is a sexual activity that involves inserting a hand into the vagina or rectum. Typically, fisting does not involve forcing the clenched fist into the vagina or rectum. Instead, all five fingers are kept straight and held as close together as possible (forming a beak-like shape, casually referred to as a "silent duck"), then slowly inserted into a well-lubricated vagina or rectum. Once insertion is complete, the fingers either naturally clench into a fist or remain straight. In more vigorous forms of fisting, such as "punching," a fully clenched fist may be inserted and withdrawn slowly. Fistees who are more experienced may take two fists (double-fisting) in the vagina or rectum. In the case of double-fisting, pleasure is derived more from the stretching of the anus or vaginal wall rather than from the thrusting (in-and-out) movement of hands. |
