It’s not just about jewellery, not even about rings in general, no, wedding ring fetish concentrates on that one (usually) gold band that sits on the ring finger of the left hand. It’s often an indication that the person wearing it is married. The original wedding rings originated in Ancient Egypt where the position of the ring on the 4th finger of the left hand was significant as they believed there was a vein there that connected directly to the heart. Where in the west, the ring was to denote the wedding dowry of a bride and spread throughout Europe from its pagan roots in ancient Rome and Greece.
Velvet is soft and sensual to the touch. Manufacturing it was a very complicated process before machinery, and it's still not so straightforward. These days velvet is made from all kinds of fabrics; silk velvet is the most expensive and often thought of as the softest and the best. The dense pile and the cut is what gives it that distinctive feel. It's a luxurious fabric that doesn't have to cost a fortune. Classy and sleek, velvet inspires a fetish as its touch is so sensual - no wonder it inspires sexual excitement in some people!
Some people love the water; they love being in it, around it and under it. Swimming and other water-based activities are accessible and enjoyable, but getting a sexual thrill from them could be an indication of an aquaphilia fetish. Enjoying the water, seeing others in water or holding breath under water as well as sexual activity in swimming pools, lakes, rivers, baths or even the sea means this fetish has a broad appeal. Ocean deep, even! It's a fascinating fetish to dive into but always remember the RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink) rules.
Xenophilia, as you might expect, is the exact opposite of xenophobia. Instead of being anti anything or anyone foreign, someone who is into xenophilia really, really loves the people and culture of countries other than their own.
The word is made up of two greek words. ‘xenos’ which means stranger, unknown, foreign and ‘philia’ which means love or attraction but it’s not a term that appears in classic greek, it’s a modern creation.
Often partnered with cultural cringe - which is when you’re being embarrassed about your own culture and people - this fetish really loves the exotic, the foreign and the unknown and that can include actual aliens – out of this world!
Dendrophilia is the sexual attraction to trees. It literally translates as ‘lover of trees’ so if you get wood for wood, you might just be a dendrophile. Whilst it is not a hugely common fetish it does have ancient roots (no pun intended) that stretch back to fertility worship rituals practised by many different races and religions all over the world. Many people feel a strong connection to woods and forests but not everyone is sexually attracted to trees but if you are, then you’re welcome here to find others as into it as you.
We’ve all seen hypnosis on the TV, from getting people to cluck like chickens to the classic ‘You’re feeling sleepy’ line, there’s a lot of preconceptions around the subject. Erotic hypnosis gets tarred with this brush but it’s actually about suggestion and not making anyone do anything they don’t want to do.
Working with a person in a suggestive state, Erotic hypnosis (also known as hypno fetish) can be the ultimate in power exchange. Bring your submissive to orgasm with a simple word or gentle touch, now that’s control for you.
Attracted to intelligence? You may be sapiosexual if intelligence is the top of your list of attractive features to have in a partner. It’s not that a sapiosexual doesn’t find other aspects of a person attractive, it’s just that they value intelligence above all else. They’re turned on by feats of brain, not brawn and look for cleverness in any potential sexual partner. They’re attracted to smart people, and not a smart suit. The word sapiosexual has only existed since 2008 but being attracted to brainy people has been a thing though out history. It’s all about engaging the brain as well as stimulating other body parts. You can find other intellectuals on the forums at fetish.com

Paraphilia is a psychiatric diagnosis defined as 'a condition characterised by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities'. In some cases, this is clear-cut: bestiality and pedophilia are both classed as being paraphilia, for example. The problem comes when the term is overused: it's sometimes employed to medicalise and problematise fetishes of all kinds, which is marginalising and repressing and no good to anyone. At the end of the day, the answer is simple: if your "abnormal sexual desires" are potentially harmful to yourself or others in a way that is non-consensual or more than transient, calling them paraphilia and seeking treatment might be helpful. Otherwise you do you, boo.
Sexsomnia is a relatively rare sleep disorder, and thought to be a variant of sleepwalking. Sexsomniacs exhibit sexual behaviours in their sleep, usually without being aware of their actions or remembering it the next morning. For obvious reasons it can be a problematic condition, but in otherwise healthy relationships the partners of sexsomniacs can usually learn how to manage the condition from their perspective - whether by figuring out how to break the cycle and awaken the sufferer, or by getting into it if they happen to be in the mood themselves! As with all things, communication is key. Talk this over with your partner well in advance, and come up with a strategy that works for you both.
Hypersexuality is a clinical diagnosis used by medical professionals to describe a marked increase in libido. If you’ve not heard the term, it’s what used to be called nymphomania or satyriasis which are gender binary and based on mythology, so not great for a serious, medical condition. People joke around about ‘nymphos’ but it’s not joke, hypersexuality really effects a person’s day to day life. If you feel you have symptoms or know someone who does its important you go and see a doctor about it. It might sound amazing to be horny all the time, after all sex is awesome but when it’s negatively effecting the rest of your life, something is wrong.
Glasses are often used to emphasise specific characteristics of characters in films and books. You've got the thick-framed geek classes, the sleek ones the librarian slips down their nose to look at you and many more. Glasses are associated with intelligence and mystery. Hey, no one realised that Clark Kent was Superman and that it was all down to the glasses he wore! Spectacular spectacles capture the imagination and bring all kinds of sexy seduction to role play and kinky adventures. Headteachers, naughty pupils, secretaries, doctors and nurses – all sorts of sexy role play can be accentuated with glasses. If you love glasses, might have a fetish for them!
Futanari is a Japanese word made from 'Futatsu' meaning two/both and 'nari' that implies form. It originates in Japanese Manga and anime and refers to a character that is intersex. Sometimes it might be that the character is trans or otherwise mixed of two different sex characteristics. Most often, this will be a character with breasts and a penis. Futanari is often depicted in hentai and other porn, and there's usually a cross over with furry fetish. The word's use has changed over time, and before the '90s, it was used to describe any character with intersex characteristics. After then it became associated with both drawn and animated characters and continues to this day.
Clothing is often the focus of fetishes, but it’s usually a specific kind, e.g. bikinis, latex, or velvet. Endytophilia however, isn’t focused on a clothing item or its material. Simply put; clothing is kept on during sex. Getting naked is often code for sex, but you don’t need to be naked to have fun, in fact keeping clothes on can be a real turn on and who hasn’t been so eager to fuck they’ve not bothered with the disrobing first? Use your imagination, and you can get it on anywhere without needing to mess around taking off your clothes!
Coulrophilia, also known as clown fetish, is the complete opposite of many people's phobia for all kinds of clowns, scary or not. There are many aspects to coulrophilia, but a lot of it centres on dressing up as a clown. People have their styles but often draw on classic clown inspiration from movies, TV and more. Clown costumes can be funny, sexy or scary; it all depends what the clown inside wants. Clowning around can involve tickling, cream pie throwing, balloon modelling and other activities designed to make people laugh and feel silly. Clowning around is bound to put a smile on your face!
