ablutophilia (bathing / showers) ?Ablutophilia is arousal connected with bathing or showering: the feel and temperature of water, the setting, or scenes from films and memories. It often goes together with locker-room fantasies, watersports or shaving play, and water is sometimes used as part of sex.
As with any fantasy that looks forced, any such scene is negotiated between consenting adults. Never hold anyone's head under water: there is no safe way to restrict someone's breathing. |

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 medical-play fetish centred on general anaesthesia and its equipment, especially the masks used to give anaesthetic gases. People may fantasise about putting someone under, going under themselves, or watching.
Anaesthetic gases are dangerous even in trained hands. Using them outside a medical setting can cause oxygen starvation, loss of consciousness and death. Keep this to fantasy, props and role-play with empty equipment. |

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.) |

adult baby / infantilism (baby play) ?Paraphilic infantilism is an interest in being treated as a baby or toddler, often including nappies (diapers), baby clothes, bottles or dummies. Someone focused on regressing is an adult baby (AB), someone focused on the nappies themselves is a diaper lover (DL), and many people are both (AB/DL).
Neither involves any sexual interest in children. Consenting adults only: this is role-play between adults and never involves real children. |

amiomixaphilia (incest fantasy / family play) ?This label covers incest fantasy and family role-play, where partners act out family roles such as parent, sibling or cousin. The appeal is usually the taboo, not any wish for it to happen in real life.
Family role-play is fantasy between consenting adults who are not related. Sexual contact with a real family member who is a child is abuse and a crime everywhere. |

anophelorastia / agonophilia (abduction / ravishment) ?Anophelorastia is arousal from an abduction or ravishment fantasy, in which the top playfully seizes the bottom and takes control. It often overlaps with bondage and consensual non-consent (CNC), and can be mixed with themes such as alien abduction or medical play.
The bottom has agreed to all of it in advance, with a safeword or signal that ends the scene. Never involve anyone who hasn't agreed. Real non-consent is a crime. |

apopnigophilia (face sitting / smothering / queening) ?Apopnigophilia is a fetish for face-sitting, also called queening: one partner sits on or over the other's face, often for oral sex, ass worship or as a show of dominance. Special furniture such as a queening stool or smother box is sometimes used.
Face-sitting must never block breathing. Smothering has no safe form; keep weight off the face, agree on a tap-out signal, and lift off at once if your partner signals. |

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) ?Barebacking means anal sex without a condom. Through the AIDS crisis, condoms were central to gay men's survival, and bareback sex became a strong taboo; for some it later became a fetish in its own right.
Today PrEP, regular testing and an undetectable viral load (U=U) all reduce HIV risk, but they do not prevent other sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia and syphilis. Talk to a sexual health clinic about what fits your situation. |

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. |

dominance ?Dominance and submission, and the inner conflict and surrender connected to these are enduring themes in human culture and civilization as well as human sexuality. Human beings share with many other mammals the instinct to look up to certain individuals who become leaders often through strength of will and personality, and to lead or follow, submit or dominate. 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. A large variety of devices are available. |

endymasiaphilia (cosplay / costumes) ?Endymasíaphilia, or cosplay, short for "costume roleplay", is a type of performance art whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate costumes and accessories, as a specific character or idea. Characters are usually sourced in various Japanese and East Asian media, including manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, and fantasy movies. 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. |

enlargement (pumping) ?A penis pump is a cylinder that is fitted over the penis, with a manual or motorized pump to create suction. As the apparatus creates a vacuum around the penis, blood is drawn into the penis, helping it to become engorged.

formicophilia (insects / ants) ?Formicophilia is arousal from the sensation of small insects, such as ants, crawling on or nibbling the skin. It is a sensation interest, not sexual contact with animals.

triolism (third party & partner voyeurism / cuckolding) ?Triolism (sometimes spelled troilism) refers to the erotic interest in watching one’s romantic partner engage in sexual behavior with a third party, sometimes while hidden. A common example is a husband watching his wife have intercourse with another man. This scenario is part of the swinger lifestyle, and varies depending on the participants. This behavior may be a form of compersion. Two of the parties are related, such as a married couple. The third party comes from outside the relationship, and can even be a stranger to the couple. Although the couple is usually separated, it is possible for the third party to be the observer. |
