Unusual Fetishes

[Secular Sanity]

I once talked with a guy who has a smoking fetish.  That sparked my curiosity and sent me on a google search regarding fetishes.

A smoking fetish?  I had to Google it, too.  It’s known as Capnolagnia.  I wonder if that’s what Clinton had.

Cigars? Cigarettes?—Cigars? Cigarettes?

I saw a cigarette girl in Vegas, not too long ago.  I was surprised that they were still around.  Kind of a cool nostalgic novelty, though.  People were posing with her.

I think the rationality on the legality in the UK is in regards to a persons capacity to keep under control, at least in regards to civility. In essence if someone acts like a flasher in regards to their fetish, then it would/will likely be seen a sex offence. After all you wouldn't want to sit on a bus next to someone being elated by a vibrating seat as the bus idles. (Especially if there were kids present)

One of the more interesting fetishes I have heard about is 'the diaper people'. Here are some excerpts and a link to a fairly informative study.

In this article, we’re going to look at one specific type of fetish: autonepiophilia, also known as paraphilic infantilism and Adult Baby Syndrome. A few cases of autonepiophilia have been reported in the psychological literature to date, which typically involve adults who derive sexual gratification from engaging in infant-like behavior. This may include acting like a baby, being taken care of like a baby, and/or wearing and using a diaper (not because they need to, but because they want to).

For both men and women, the most commonly reported ABDL behaviors were “using diapers,” “wetting,” “messing,” and “using other baby items.” However, there were sex differences in the frequency with which certain behaviors were practiced. Specifically, men reported using diapers more frequently; in contrast, women reported playing with baby toys, as well as sexual and non-sexual play with a daddy figure more often.

Compared to women, men also rated diapers as being more sexually stimulating and more important to their ABDL activities. Compared to men, women reported being a baby and being dominated as more important elements of their ABDL activities. Based on these results, it is perhaps not surprising that men reported greater levels of sexual enjoyment from ABDL, whereas women reported greater levels of role-play enjoyment.

Given that a great many adults will eventually require the use of adult hygiene products (Depends etc.) it may be reassuring to some to know that they can still count themselves as 'sexy'.

That’s hilarious.  

I didn’t realize that some of them were aroused by wetting or messing them, though.  I’d be out the door in a heartbeat.  I have a bad gag reflex.  I used to put Vicks Vaporub under my nose when I worked in an emergency room.

Golden showers don't do it for me either, lol, though I suppose some get turned on by that 'warm, wet feeling'.

Perhaps it is not the wetting or messing itself that is the turn on but the thought of affectionate hands manipulating their 'naughty bits' (genitals) during the thorough cleaning process required in proper hygiene.

Maybe that is why baby powder scented personal hygiene products are so popular... early childhood memories.
