Want to know my dirty little secret?

Sex comes in all different shapes and sizes, and there is no definite understanding of what good sex is, but sometimes it takes just a little more than usual for some to get off. From sleeping with animals, to extreme arousal with fantasized roleplay, the types of fetishes that exist really are just endless. Common or not, here we cum!

Sitophilia

Dirty Little Secret

This term brings a love for food to a whole other level, as it is used to describe individuals who receive sexual gratification from being covered in wet, messy, food substances. So bring on the pies, pudding, syrup, but steer clear of buffets! This type of fetish is a major danger zone as the thought to incorporate endless food items into sexual contact will be tempting. Foreplay is essential — or in this case, food-play. Could this be where the milk challenge originated from?

Xylophilia

Dirty Little Secret

I remember during high school sex education when my teacher used to use Woody, the wooden penis to demonstrate proper condom application. As educational as that lesson was, some would find it a little more arousing than the average student. Those with xylophilia have an extreme attraction to wood, and become easily stimulated to thoughts and contact with these special tree parts. Guess London would be the ideal city to live in, being Forest City and all…

Flatulophilia

Dirty Little Secret

Natural human gas… it's got to come out one way or another. Letting it rip out the back isn't quite enough for those with this fetish, they need to throw their partner in a Dutch oven. Now THAT is the meaning of getting hot. It is a foreplay method for those turned on by flatulence. Tip: beans work great for this…aka, take your date to a Mexican food restaurant first!

Podophilia

Dirty Little Secret

Something smells fishy… and it might just be your foot. But don't worry, some people are totally into that — and by some people, I mean somebody with podophilia. Points of attraction include appearance (size, length and accessories), odour or footwear (whether you're strutting in heels or flip-flopping on the beach). Would you let your foot be sniffed, licked, tickled or sucked?

BDSM

Dirty Little Secret

The easiest reference to help understand this term is the film 50 Shades of Grey. The term stands for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission and sadism and masochism. Tying, binding, restraining a partner for stimulation, using props like ropes, collars, or even whips - now that's some kinky s**t.

Pygophilia

Dirty Little Secret

Booty booty booty rockin' everywhere! The extreme lust for buttocks. Now we all have a slight obsession with butts (Kim Kardashian, duh), whether big or small, perky or round, but it isn't pygophilia until it's become an abnormal sexualisation from any of the five senses coming in contact with a butt.

Exophilia

Dirty Little Secret

What does Doctor Who, Star Gate, and Star Trek all have in common? They are all sci-fi. From exotic planets, land and fictional characters, any intergalactic fantasy could come to life. Spice up your sex game with some extra-terrestrial props… an alien suit perhaps?

Formicophilia

Dirty Little Secret

Now, most people I know are terrified of bugs and insects. Others find it a stimulating thought to be covered in these creepy crawlies. The occasional bite is an addition bonus. Fear Factor? Sign me up coach!

So, if you are one of the few individuals with a fetish you think nobody else has, think again. What seems uncommon can be a lot more common than you think!
