A fool and his money are soon parted.
A friend of mine was telling me about someone she knows that makes a fortune from her findom website. What’s is that, I asked. She said that there are men who like to be financially dominated. What? Are you serious? I’ve never heard of that before. She said that it doesn’t even involve nudity. I didn’t believe her. When I got home, I Googled it. Holy smokes! How weird. How in the world does this fetish develop?
Have you heard of any other bizarre fetishes?

I'm not sure if you can see or saw this list; it is pretty long and though I keep my sexual anomalies to myself, especially in recent years, or more accurately, I really have gotten too worried about trying to survive long-term to care about getting jollies anymore, the one I have had since childhood is listed.

I'm not sure where the border is between fetish and paraphilia, or if they can officially overlap or one be subsumed by the other. But I first encountered mention of a man being sexually aroused by helicopters in an old Harlan Ellison story (which is not to be confused with those who also identify with choppers in a transmorphic manner, of desiring to change into them). At the time I thought he'd just made it up, but of course it was just a specific example of mechanophilia.
At first glance nebulophilia seems a contender for unusual (but probably not so much as one considers it more). Hematolagnia is kind of mundane due to the vampire and goth lifestyles of the late 20th century (and possibly an offspring of the sacrificial rites of much earlier times); plus, since it doesn't necessarily have to revolve around affinity for / stimulation via human blood -- it might be an abundant offshoot of hunting sub-cultures, butcher yards, etc.

Years ago, a friend of mine did her thesis on dominatrix. She said that she never even knew that financial domination existed. The only one on your list that comes close to 'findom' is 'pampering'.
I don’t think I have a 'sexual anomaly', as you put it. Although, the list has 'dating' as a fetish. I have dated before. I don’t really understand how dating can be considered a fetish, though, do you? The DSM criteria for fetishism indicate that the focus must involve the use of nonliving objects which eliminates body parts from meeting this criterion.
Damn, elte. Now, I’m curious. One that could affect your long term survival, eh? Hmm...interesting. How do you think it developed? Do you have any ideas?

P.S. If by chance, you need me to take all your money, just give me a holler. I’d be happy to help.
It's not really as bad as I might have unintentionally conveyed -; I have been overcome by daily life struggles to a degree that thinking about sexual stuff seems like something that tends to divert my thought too much. It hasn't been hard to deal with not caring about such things anymore since I am over 50.
On the money thing, I feel like I don't have much if any to spare -;

I can see having sex in a helicopter, but not with a helicopter. It's all fun and games until someone loses a _____.
WTF, C C? It's treated as a crime in the UK?
"
Mechanophilia is a paraphilia involving a sexual attraction to machines such as bicycles, motor vehicles, helicopters, and airplanes.
This is treated as a crime in some nations, such as the United Kingdom, with perpetrators being placed on a sex-offenders' register after prosecution."

I’ll never be able to look at one of my favorite films in the same way again.

Wow, I'd forgotten that. I wonder what the technological threshold is for sex dolls being upgraded from classification as a masturbation device to achieving official machine status as a robot "companion / lover", and whether those humanoid "ero-bots" would then suddenly fall under such a mechanophilia proscription.
Obviously there's a lot more unpaid job-security on the sex playing field for social crusaders and grassroots volunteers than I'd recently been considering. It once seemed (to me) like necrophilia, bestiality, and incest (between adults) were the only potentially illegal taboos left that moral revisionists could craft liberating arguments for.
But still, with their much smaller numbers, it's doubtful these loosely integrated identity-groups would currently constitute measurable enough minorities as voting blocs to attract widespread political interest in their causes (i.e., not enough election-rewards for the work and efforts expended on them).
An ever more experimenting population in the future could turn them from fetishes, kinks, and disorders into mass-trending erotic interests, however. Possibly warranting their legal re-evaluation (where applicable) and gradual elevation to some kind of clinically legitimate physical attraction / relationship. If there aren't already significant academic papers making that case (I vaguely recollect Peter Singer in the past giving blessing to animal / human copulation, as long as proper assessment is made beforehand that the former "pet" is indicating consent and has been prescribed some manner of equality in the domestic household).

I dug a little deeper. Turns out that mechaphilia isn’t illegal in itself unless, of course, it involves someone else’s property or offends public decency. The man with the bike was arrested for sexually aggravated breach of the peace, which sparked a legal debate because if the behavior takes place in private, there must be a realistic risk of it being discovered. The housekeepers said that they knocked on the door several times and there was no reply. So, they used a master key to unlock the door. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had them knock once, heard them say "housekeeping", and then immediately open the door. I certainly don’t believe that there was a realistic risk of being discovered, and to have the case made public? That poor guy will never live it down. I would have sued them for defamation. There are some instances in the U.S. where the truth can lead to damages, such as a privacy violation.
No worries, C C. People in the future will still be able to have sex with a robot, if they so choose, but they better make damn sure the deadbolt is locked.
Quote:More than a million people have read the story on the BBC news website and it has been hotly debated on forums elsewhere.
One contributor asked: "Would they have done the same to a woman with a sex toy?
"Apart from the fact that the sex toy was manufactured for the purpose, and a bicycle wasn't, I really don't see that the two acts are all that different."
Another blogger said: "I am more disturbed by the sheriff's ruling than the act of having sex with a bike."

I remembered watching
"Crash", but didn't remember it having any fetish undertones. There are two films with the same title, duh. I haven't seen the film that you linked. I'll have to check it out. I must admit, though, that I've never heard of that fetish before.
Symphorophilia is a new one to me. Holy shit!
I suppose I'm not very kinky. It's always been the usual stuff that men and women do together. I once talked with a guy who has a smoking fetish. That sparked my curiosity and sent me on a google search regarding fetishes. There seems to be something for everyone. Pretty much anything under the sun, it seems.
