There Is Such a Preference. and There's a Word for It!

"Kinky sex involves the use of duck feathers. Perverted sex involves the whole duck." -- Lewis Grizzard

Let us tread lightly into the world of paraphilias or unusual sexual preferences. These are objects that have peculiar sexual meaning for some people. Some are fairly common, some are rare, and some are downright disgusting. Alfred Binet proposed that sexual fetishes were learned through an associative process.

Remember Rule 34: If it exists, there must be porn of it. Perhaps we should add a corollary to Rule 34:  If a paraphilia exists, there must be a word for it.

Agalmatophilia -- Statues or mannequins. Said to be more common in Europe, primarily as a prank.

Altocalciphilia -- High heels. Wearing super high heels is an occupational prerequisite for dominatrixes.

Anlilagnia -- Desire for older women by young men. Cougars like this one.

Anthropophagia -- Desire to eat human flesh.

Aquaphilia -- Arousal from water and/or in watery environments, including bathtubs or swimming pools. 

Aretifism -- Sexual attraction to people who are without footwear, in contrast to retifism

Autagonistophilia -- Desire to be on stage or on camera.

Autoerotic asphyxiation -- Self-asphyxiation or strangulation as a form of arousal. This can be a cause of accidental death.

Diaper fetishism -- Diapers, hopefully clean ones.

Pygophilia -- Buttocks.

Pyrophilia -- Fire.

Retifism -- Boots or shoes. Pumps, espadrilles, or army boots?
