Human sexuality is a vast, colorful, sometime-astonishing world. For every generally accepted interest, there‘s a niche one keeps to itself-though not without the odd presence on the internet somewhere. I present, for your education (and potentially entertainment), a small handful of paraphilias, arranged alphabetically because even weird fetishes should be organized.

Acrotomophilia

We begin with acrotomophilia, the attraction to individuals with amputated limbs. This falls under the umbrella of “devotism,” a word which sounds like a religion but, in this case, means an admiration for physical differences. Its close cousin is abasiophilia, where the spark comes from mobility aids like leg braces or crutches. Love is love and sometimes it rolls.

Dacryphilia

Dacryphilia: arousal from tears. Tears! Tears of sadness, tears of release, tears after an intense fight whatever causes those tear ducts to become Niagara Falls may well also hit a love switch.

Eproctophilia

Then we have eproctophilia, known informally as the “fart fetish.” This one is exactly what it sounds like: flatulence as foreplay. Whether it’s the sound, the smell, or the sheer audacity of the act, some people find this deeply intimate. And believe it or not, there is no shortage of dedicated content online a true testament to the breadth of human creativity.

Forniphilia

Forniphilia brings BDSM into the mix by transforming a person into furniture. Yes, furniture. Footstools, tables, ashtrays anything a submissive can dutifully become while staying still and quiet. The “human buffet” variation includes serving food from a body, which is basically dinner and a show, but only if the show is very good at not moving.

Inflatophilia

Inflatophilia gets it inflated. Simple as that. The excitement here is attracted to inflatable objects, be it dolls, balls or any other inflated friends. This balloon-fondling fleet often refer to themselves as “looners”, one of the best-sounding subculture appellations around. Some get a kick out of the inflation itself, while others are all about the texture and the noise. Science remains silent.

Kleptolagnia

Kleptolagnia is edging towards the criminal: arousal from purloining and possessing erogenous objects. The arousal is usually centered on such intimate objects as underwear where the prohibitions, the personal association and the “I really shouldn‘t be doing this” factor are infused into a single, hyper-excited concoction. Thinkofering a sexier turn on Ocean‘s Eleven.

Spectrophilia (Glasses Fetishism)

Spectrophilia, or glasses fetishism, is a bit more innocent. The glasses aren’t just fashionable they’re a sign of smarts, power, or sexy nerd aura. Think sexy librarian, no-nonsense intellectual, or simply some girl who looks great in glasses, this fetish has it all.

Trichophilia

And lastly, the attraction to hair trichophilia. Hair in abundance. Hair on heads, hair on body, hair that’s long, short, fuzzy, clean, wild or bizarre. To some this may be simple attraction, but to the fetishist it’s art, touch, smell, motion, and perhaps an entire universe of fantasy.

In Summary

These types of paraphilia exemplify, in the best possible light, the wide variation and diversity in human sexuality. Each type of paraphilia indicates another way human being develop and nurture feelings of stimulation or arousal or significance or excitement from events (or objects or places or circumstances) that many others would not. While the details may vary, the common theme remains the same: the discovery of diversity in sexual desire can serve as a basis for the understanding of people.
