Sex has always been popular and people have flocked to movies, books and shows that feature plenty of sex since the dawn of entertainment. But that doesn’t mean every fetish is well-known or even that people have heard of them. Here we’ve gathered together details on five different fetishes well outside the mainstream. Some may be shocking and others may strike you as bizarre but each proves that when it comes to human sexuality, there are no limits.
- Robot Sex
If you ever eyed up the Jetson’s robot maid with a bit of interest you may understand this fetish. Robots have always been a fascinating area of science fiction but today robots are quickly becoming science FACT. And of course, what happens when any new technology emerges? People find a way to use it for sex. There is a growing movement of people who are excited for the advent of truly interactive sex-bots and they’re not ashamed to discuss it openly. Websites and online forums have given way to real work meet ups and even conventions such as the Love and Sex With Robots convention held each year in Malaysia.
While true sex-bots remain in the realm of science fiction, products like Real Dolls and other realistic sexual release devices have paved the way for a future that will almost certainly feature a wide range of sexually charged robots. And, of course, where there’s sex, there are those who want to suppress it. One group, the Campaign Against Sex Robots, has made it their personal mission to ensure the future remains sex-bot free. Personally, I think they’ll find themselves outnumbered before they know it.
- The Super Sexy Afterlife
Ghost shows and outings are incredibly popular but not everyone who tunes into Ghost Adventures or signs up for a session of local ghost hunting is just into it for the academic aspect. There are some people who get incredibly turned on by the thought of getting down and dirty with someone who has already shuffled off this mortal coil.
Spectrophilia is the medical term for people who get turned on by ghosts and if you think it’s an isolated fetish, think again. Today there are several websites that cater to this fetish and people have begun sharing their own first-hand accounts of sexual encounters with ghosts.
- Winner Winner, YOU For Dinner?
Vorarephilia is the name for people who get turned on by the thought of being cooked and eaten by others. This is, of course, a fetish one can only indulge in through fantasy and, as a result, there are now a handful of websites that offer stories, art and fictional videos for people to indulge in.
While this type of fantasy suggests that the person who likes it may have some problems, the truth is that many people into this fetish are perfectly normal. Proponents say they simply like the idea of being so thoroughly possessed by another but, of course, they’d never actually engage in it.
- When You REALLY Love Your Car
Recently, a man on the popular show My Strange Addiction made headlines when he came out to his family about the intimate relationship he had with his car. Viewers were amazed to see how the man’s father reacted to the news and then they were just as amazed when the young man explained how often he was intimate with the car.
Car love, called Mechanophilia, isn’t especially common, but it has been around for a long time. There are plenty of websites and even tutorials on how people (mostly men) can engage in having sex with their car without hurting themselves. Spoiler alert – the tail pipe is often involved.
- When the Bad Boy / Girl Fetish Goes to the Extreme
Everyone gets a bit turned on when they meet someone a bit dangerous but for some that love means falling exclusively for criminals. This fetish is known as Hybristophilia and in extreme cases it means people put themselves in harm’s way just to meet – and hopefully shack up with – someone they see as being especially dangerous.
