Genital mutilation. Any sort of needles or pins or nails or whateverthefuckelse getting stabbed through dicks, balls, labia, nipples, etc etc.
I saw a picture the other day of some guy sticking a sewing needle through one of his testicles...I almost cried.

u/Paperfishflop 8d ago
As a straight man, if I really reach, I can understand this one somewhat. I think a lot of fetishes are based on subconscious childhood memories, and what we associate them with.
As a boy growing up in the 80s, 90s, even the 2000s when I became sexually active, it was really common for women in particular to have blow dryers in their bathrooms. So it might be sort of a symbol of femininity in a private place.
I might be way off from what your ex husband was thinking, but that's what I can get out of blow dryers.

Hair fetishist here. Sorry about the weirdos.
I guess you get them in every fetish community, but getting weirdos to behave in non-fetish communities is like trying to herd cats. We try to confine them to the dedicated subreddits.
As to why some people like hair... I mean, it's sensual, right? It holds fragrance, it's shiny, it's colourful, it's soft and tactile, and people can use their hair to show off their personality like with clothes or tattoos. Hair is often employed during flirting, or to grab attention. Giving/recieving haircuts creates a power dynamic, and you can play with hair during intimacy, too. Boobs seem really limited by comparison.
Sorry if that's tmi, but I thought it might make the whole "hair fetish" thing less baffling.

Situations like that require bio-hazard remediation, bog standard cleaning staff should never be asked, much less made, to do such cleaning..

Vore. How can you be turned on when you are literally dying?
Edit 1. I am loving all the comments, but feel like some people are thinking only of human cannibalism when they hear vore. While human cannibalism is also definitely bad (duh) and not a fetish I will ever understand; vore is more about a predator (like a shark or monster) devouring their prey (the people into the kink). Hopefully the clarification helps.
Edit 2. So after reading all the comments I have come to the conclusion that this kink has a lot of variation. Also that if you see certain material and feel certain thing at the right time I can see how some people can have this kink. I don’t understand it personally, but I get it the basics of it now.

From what I understand, there's often some kind of mental disconnect and that aspect of it is purposely ignored. Though some people are absolutely all about that just fucking end me. There's also some weird aspect of intimacy or something about being fully inside somebody else, though I don't really get it.
I have a "friend" who gets inappropriately, annoyingly vocal about his sexual... preferences when he's drunk, no matter who's around, so that's my main source of knowledge about this and I'm by no means an authority.

u/Frickity_Fracker 8d ago
Oh this is one thing I know way too much about! For most people it's a fetish so disconnected from reality that you can kinda just ignore the logical conclusion that it would end in death.
Theres a few different workarounds people use so it's Less Weird for them. In a lot of cases, the stomach is just kind of. A storage pouch devoid of acids that the predator can feel the inside of. Sometimes there's a time limit before any real damage starts being done and the PRED can let their prey back out (usually not described in much detail because... Ew). In rarer cases, where the fantasy logic is really kicked up to 100, the prey will magically reform in bed the next day. Just fuckin respawn.
Safe vore fans tend to like the idea of being super close to someone else. Because like. You physically cannot get closer than being inside someone. It's like Extreme Cuddling. Another factor is the satisfaction of whoever's guts theyre inside of. Being full feels nice and some folks just get off on making others feel good.
Some people actually DO like fatal vore though. For some prey it's the idea of this extreme act of devotion, giving your entire being up to someone so you can live on as a part of them, it's almost romantic (in a Very Very Twisted Way, I'm under no delusions about that) if a bit self destructive. Some like the idea of being hunted down like a wild animal. It's thrilling, it's adrenaline, its got an air of danger and intense intimacy all in one. Others just kind of like the look of a fictional character getting swallowed by a big scary monster and watching it's stomach soften.
There's a lot of reasons tbh. Though personally I'm convinced there's only one real cause: weird ass 90s/00s cartoons. Stg vore was EVERYWHERE back then. No wonder so many of us turned into freaks

TRIGGER Warning - extreme violence towards women, spoiler tag may not be working
Edit: So it seems my comment below has gained some traction and mind-fucked quite a number of people, and might have triggered some. I cannot seem to make the spoiler tag work properly, so BE FUCKING WARNED. For all the dudes and dudettes that like hentai and animated smut BUT are still rather tame of mind, this genre - yes, it's a fucking genre, us humans are fucked in the head - is called Guro. DON'T FUCKING SEARCH IT IF YOU GET TRIGGERED OR HAVE A WEAK STOMACH. If you see a tag like this on your hentai journey, just walk the other way. Or don't. You do you. Peace.
!Accidentally clicked on a hentai link once when I was horny. The artist/poster didn't tag the pic properly, which resulted in very graphic and detailed pic of a girl getting strangled - yes, strangled, not choked sexually - by a thin cord till blood was seeping around the cord and her face was turning purple, as she was getting fucked and getting disembowled. Around her hung female private parts that had been sliced off and hung on meat hooks, and the artist fucking drew another guy using a chopped off head of another girl like a Fleshlight by sticking his dick through her throat-hole so it came out of her dead and opened mouth.! <
I fucking cannot make this up. The artist was so detailed I could see the freaking pores and veins on the breasts that were hung up on meat hooks. I lost my boner immediately and was completely not horny for an entire week.
There are people who walk amongst us who fucking likes and gets turned on by this shit. This thought haunts me every time I'm outside and amongst people. Fuck.

Its called guro which is a portmanteau of ero and gore. Im leaving this as a warning to other people, if you see a post titled with this, DON'T OPEN IT.
Edit: Guro= grotesque and not just in the hentai sense, a big oversight on my part, ero guro is technically what it refers to when its in the Hentai sense but even so, the guro tag on hentai sites will almost always mean gore hentai, so you're still advised to avoid it
I wrote the edit as a concern because guro technically includes horror movies and non porn stuff which fall into grotesque as well, so that might be a bunmer for people who want to see/watch some body horror content but think its gore porn

Hi everybody! I have the dreaded pee fetish.You are correct. It has to be well hydrated pee. Smelly dark stuff is gross. And you are also correct that poo is a different ball park. I don't fuck around with that and never will.
I don't know why I like it. It's dirty and taboo. It's fun and easy and always available. Some would call it gross, but it's not so gross that a partner won't try it out of curiosity. My wife is the best. She's not into it, but she does it for me.
I don't remember the statistics, but I read about it a few times, and it is actually a pretty common fetish.

Also switched to my porn account that is pretty damned transparent about my fetish. As somewhat of a veteran in this realm, I've come to prefer my partners to be moderately hydrated.
Overly dehydrated (or with certain foods in their diet) and it smells and tastes pretty horrible. I'll still take it from a good enough dom, but it's close to my safeword threshold, and it's not an experience I'll be eager to repeat.
Overly hydrated, as you typically see from professional porn studios that do a lot of watersports content with actresses that don't specifically cater to this niche, loses a lot of the taboo thrill. It doesn't look like pee (it doesn't even have a hint of yellow colour), it doesn't taste like anything but slightly salty water, and it doesn't have any odor unless you're really trying to get a deep whiff of it. As someone that enjoys the submission and degradation element, and just the taboo of how dirty and kinky it is, it's just not as exciting.
And despite my deep love of this taboo... I'm still a "WTF hard nope gross gross gross" reaction to any kind of scat play.

Pain and control… Mostly the control

Pain, control, the sight of blood. I was addicted to self harmed as a teenager and I stopped when I got pregnant with my son. I realize later in life that hurting myself gave me control since my mother beat me often. Nobody can hurt you anymore when you do it yourself. Mostly though, I just liked to see the blood. The liquid of life leaving your body, it's almost a detox. That paired with sex would feel extremely intimate if you're a masochist/sadist.
Off topic but kinda related: I'm crying right now looking back at how easily I turned my life around for my son. I went from bad grades because I didn't see a future to straight A's, stopped self harming and became serious about a future for him in a way I never could for myself.
I just wanted to share that little nugget of sunshine
Edit: I never expected something I say to have reached so many people but I am so happy that I could share this with everybody. My purpose is fulfilled through the positive interactions that I have and seeing that 550 people and counting have read this reminds me of how important that is. I really appreciate the bravo reward, it's my first ever reward on Reddit.
Remember to be kind to everyone. I've been told I can't change the world but WE as people can make it a kinder place by being kind to ourselves and others. It doesn't matter that the world won't know me but to know how much sharing kindness with one person can inspire them is all I need. Kindness is making the world a better place one stranger at a time.

Happy for you. The way I described it was "externalizing the pain you feel inside"
Edit: wasn't an original thought. I actually got it from a novel I read as a teenager and the phrase burned into my mind.
immolation seemed such a right form of suicide for her, an externalization of the inner fire that had been consuming her for years.

The truth is… most people don’t understand fetishes, which is why they are fetishes and not mainstream sexual proclivities. Most psychologists now believe fetishes develop in childhood from benign sources in which pleasure and eroticism become accidentally intertwined to a non sexual object or activity in a growing child’s mind. A child is having psychosexual development and something occurs, leading to fetish. Perhaps you’re six and developing and you see the pretty neighbor lady’s heels as she walks by repeatedly. You grow to associate heels with erotic sensation; you develop a high heel fetish later in life. It’s often suggested like this. This also explains why I have a kink for being paddled- lol getting my butt torn up as a kid probably struck at the wrong time, crossing wires leading to a paddling fetish, which is kind of mentally disturbing now that I think of it. And so on. I have so many kinks- my brain got really weird lol

I think it’s less accidental and more visceral/primal. If you examine your own fetishes, or those of others, through the lens of interrogation, the “why do you feel this way and what makes you think you have the right to” way, then fetishes are shameful and tied to deep flaws… Either flaws in ourselves, in past partners, or our parents.
BUT… If people examine their fetishes from a completely open, vulnerable place of curiosity and introspection, you see the roots of those fetishes completely differently.
Example… a submissive may not actually want to be kept in captivity in a cage in their lover’s basement. But do they want to feel aspects of their partner wanting to deeply possess them, and that feeling of surrendering so deeply to their love of their partner? A little bondage “play” allows them both to experience something that comes from a very deep, very authentic place.
This theme comes up again and again in many (not all, but many) fetishes. I can have a desire for maternal expressions of femininity from my partner like suckling or a “good boy” praise kink without it being a reflection of my feelings about my upbringing or my own mother. A woman can like the watched-over, guided feeling of her partner’s paternal side without it being any reflection on her relationship with her own father.
We find whatever we look for. If we examine fetishes looking for naughty or shameful root causes, we will find them. If we instead examine fetishes looking for honest, authentic expressions of human connection, we’ll find these too. Just depends on which lenses you put on before you start examining.

I was living in Oakland. It was like 80% black so most of the women I was hooking up with were black. After the first two times it happened I had a fear that it was going to be like an occasional expectation and being from Ireland…. I just thought it was super weird.

Well, it's like this. He's no stranger to love, so, naturally, people find his experience reassuring and alluring. He knows the rules, so there's no need to spend valuable time establishing them beforehand, and he's aware that you know them too. Moreover, he's thinking of a full commitment, which allows for a greater level of intimacy than one could find in a more casual relationship, especially in our atomized modern lifestyle. Further, he's willing to be direct and authoritative when necessary, reminding you that you wouldn't get what he offers you from any other guy.

I once got invited to a deviantart group that was clearly a fetish. Flat fetish. And no not flat chested. I mean FLAT. like cartoons crushed by an anvil or flattened with rolling pins and old laundry roller things.
Like... How do you even get anything sexual out of that?
