Fetishes & Philias


Sexual Behaviors, Paraphilias and Fetishes

Fetishism:
People with a fetish experience sexual urges and behaviors that are associated with non-living objects. For example, the object of the fetishist could be an article of female clothing such as a high heel shoe or undergarment. It may be materials such as spandex, fur, leather, rubber or silk. Soiled garments arouse some individuals. A person might have a foot fetish, ear fetish, or in fact it could be a fetish for any part of the human body that arouses an individual but is not considered a normal sexual area such as the breast and genitals.Fetishes are either Haptic, pertaining to the feeling of pressure, rubbing or touching, or Olfactory, pertaining to smell or odor. Usually the fetish begins in adolescence and tends to be quite chronic into adult life.

The selection of choices among fetishists also varies. One-rubber fetishists may like latex and another natural rubber. Some will like spandex or a silky fabric and others a knobby or coarse fabric. Some are stimulated by odor such as urine or body sweat that turn other “olfactory” individuals completely off. Some prefer to be alone, others with men and others women and yet others both. Whatever one person likes there is always someone else that is bound to dislike that same thing.

Paraphilias (Philas):
Paraphilias include common, distressing and repetitive fantasies, behaviors, or sexual urges focusing on unusual objects, activities, or situations. Paraphilias are sometimes referred to as sexual deviations or perversions. The person with a paraphilia is a paraphiliac, or paraphile. A few of the more common paraphilias are algolagnia, exhibitionism, fetishism, Frotteurism, masochism, pedophilia, sadism, transvestitism, urolagnia and voyeurism.

Most Paraphiliacs Are Male
Studies have shown that it is primarily males that practice a paraphilia. As a child or adolescent the paraphiliac will usually begin to experience fantasies that continue into their adult life. As time passes these fantasies will commonly intensify for a significant period but eventually the frequency usually starts to decrease. There are numerous paraphilias and it is not unusual for an individual to have multiple or overlapping fantasies and sexual interest.

Sexual urges, sexual behaviors or sexual fantasies with non-human objects.
Sexual behaviors involving humiliation or the tormenting of oneself or another person.
Adult sexual behavior that involves children or non-consenting adults.

Treatment:
Not all paraphilias require treatment, for those that do, cognitive; behavior and psychoanalytic therapies are commonly used. Other treatments include prescription medicine to decrease compulsive thinking and on occasion hormones for individuals who experience intrusive sexual thoughts, uncontrollable urges or abnormally frequent sexual behaviors. For those that require treatment for a chronic paraphilia condition that needs to be controlled, long-term treatment is usually necessary.

Types Of Paraphilias:

Algolagnia: Deriving sexual pleasure from pain.

Apotemnophilia: Focus on sexual stimulus to one’s own amputated stump.

Autoabasiophilia: Sexual attraction to oneself being lame or crippled

Andromimetophilia: Female-to-male sexual attraction to someone who has had a sex change

Autonepiophila: A paraphilia of the stigmatic/eligible type in which sexuerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to, and dependent upon impersonating a baby in diapers and being treated as one by the partner. (See infantilism)

Coprophilia: Sexual attraction to feces.

Emetophilia: Sexual attraction to vomit.

Ephebophilia: Sexual attraction of an adult to adolescents. (See pedophilia)

Exhibitionism: An exhibitionist has an inclination to expose ones sexual organs to others. Sexual erotic arousal is achieved through dismay, shock, or panic from a stranger. This sexual behavior is almost always limited to genitalia exposure, and the person may make no further harmful advances toward the stranger. Most often exhibitionism begins during adolescence and continues into adulthood.

Formicophilia: Sexual stimulation derived from insects, smaller animals, etc. crawling on parts of the body.

Frotteurism: The focus of this sexual urge is related to the touching or rubbing of ones body against a non-consenting person. Usually the male rubs his genital area against an unfamiliar female. This activity regularly takes place in a crowded public location enabling the individual to disappear into the crowd. Frotteurism usually begins in adolescence and the abnormal behavior typically decreases by the time a man reaches his late twenties.

Galactophilia: Sexual attraction to human milk or lactating women.

Gerontophilia: Sexual attraction to the elderly.

Gynemimetophilia: Male-to-female sexual attraction to an individual that has had a sex change.

Hypoxyphilia: The desire to achieve an altered state of consciousnesses as an enhancement to the experience of orgasm. In this disorder, the individual may use a drug such as nitrous oxide to produce hypoxia, or a “high” due to a lack of oxygen to the brain. Autoerotic asphyxiation is also associated with hypoxic states, but it is classified as a form of sexual masochism.

Infantilism: Infantilism is the pleasure from acting and dressing like an infant and being treated as one by your sexual partner. For most infatilist the desire to feel like a baby starts early on and by the time they are in their adolescence they recognize that this is a driving need of theirs. Many will try to give up wearing diapers but usually find that they will go back to them in a short time.

Klismaphilia: Deriving sexual pleasure through enemas.

Masochism: Masochism is the receiving of pleasure, often sexual, from being hurt or humiliated. The masochistic acts may be limited to verbal humiliation or blindfolding.

Morphophilia: A sexual focus on one or more body characteristics.

Mysophilia: Sexual thoughts or sex with something foul or dirty.

Narratophilia: Sexual arousal through speaking obscenely to ones partner.

Necrophilia: Erotic attraction to corpses and the term describes engaging in sexual acts with a dead person. The motivation most cited by psychologists for this practice is the attempt to gain possession of an unresisting or non-rejecting partner. It is believed that about 90% of necrophiles are male. Necrophilia is more an act of masturbation then it is intercourse since you are not having sex with a live human body. In reality this is more like having sex with an inanimate object such as a dildo, slab of meat a piece of fruit or a vegetable.

One might think of the practice of necrophilia being limited to sociopath, psychopaths and serial killers but this is not true. Killing to have sex after death is actually infrequent but has been sensationalized by famous serial killers. About half of known necrophiles that have killed were gay, sixty percent were diagnosed with a personality disorder and 10% were considered psychotic.

In Freudian logic, sex with a corpse is the ultimate submission. The necro-individual has the power to be as violating, violent or abusive as they choose. To some this would be an ultimate power trip; some enjoy using every available orifice of the body for their gratification; some like to treat the body as a piece of meat and enjoy watching it flop around or enjoy playing with its positioning. Some look on it as a spiritual sexual encounter as they simply touch withered and decomposed corpses and/or bones. Some individuals enjoy a fantasy of making love to a woman that has recently died. While most corpse are usually violated just prior to burial, a few individuals will dig up a corpse from a cemetery for this purpose.

A study of necrophilia by Rosman & Rednick showed the sexual orientation to be 70% heterosexual, 15% bisexual and15% homosexual. Fifty-seven percent of the practitioners have occupations that placed them around corpses e.g., hospital orderly, cemetery employee, morgue attendant, parlor assistant, cleric and soldier. Eighty-six percent had a history of normal intercourse prior to or during their necrophilic activities

Olfactophilia: Deriving sexual pleasure through different smells or odors.

Partialism: Overlap of morphophilia; the sexual focus is on hands, feet, breasts, etc.

Pedophilia: A pedophile is a person that focuses their sexual fantasies and behavior toward children. People who enjoy child pornography or “kiddy porn” are also classified as pedophiles. Most pedophiles are males; they are sexually attracted only toward children and not to adults. Pedophilia is usually a chronic condition. When a pedophile becomes sexually active with a child he/she may disrobe the child, touch or fondle the child’s genitals, forcefully perform a sexual act on the child or encourage the child to watch them masturbate.

Pictophilia: A focus on viewing obscene or pornographic movies, pictures, videos or Internet content.

Plushophilia: Sexual attraction to stuffed toys.

Sadism: Sadism is the deriving of pleasure, often sexual, through the mistreatment of others. Some people that have sadistic fantasies never act on them. Some people that have sexual urges of a sadistic nature find a willing partner who agrees to participate in the sadistic activity. Still others that have these urges find individuals that they victimize. Some of the more severe sadistic activities involve burning, beating, stabbing, raping, and killing. Usually the thoughts and/or behaviors of sexual sadism begin in adolescence or early adulthood. The behaviors are chronic and usually increase in severity with time.

Transvestitism: The practice of heterosexual males that cross dress is referred to as transvestic fetishism or transvestitism. As a rule the transvestite male usually has a selection of female clothing that he uses to cross-dress. Some males only wear a particular garment or piece of female apparel; others fully dress as a woman including facial make-up and nail gloss to achieve a total female appearance. Transvestism often begins in childhood and tends to be chronic in nature.

Voyeurism: Achieving sexual arousal through secretly observing another person. A voyeur is sometimes called a “peeping Tom”. The activity brings on sexual excitement and often masturbation by the voyeur. Voyeurism usually starts in adolescence and tends to persist into adulthood.

Zoophilia (Bestiality):For centuries men and women have tried to have sexual relations with a variety of nonhuman animals from the domestic to the exotic. In many cultures, bestiality has been punishable by imprisonment or death. Roman women used the heads of live snakes or the tails of live fishes for insertion into the vagina. In a number of non-European cultures bestiality was considered an acceptable sexual practice. In the Masai Tribe of Africa, having sex with donkeys was considered a normal sexual outlet for adolescents.

Zoosexuality is said by some to be a life style and not a fetish. Those engaging in sex with non-human animals usually have a sexual fondness for these animals. Some who are zoosexual and practice bestiality are exclusive to only one type of animal such as a dog or a horse. Others enjoy having sex with a variety of animals. Some individuals that perform this type of sex consider it totally acceptable as long as you love and have a concern for the animal’s care, health and safety.

Sexual studies have shown that the peak age when zoophilia or bestiality starts is 15–18 for girls and 12–14 for boys. With males it very much correlates with the age of the initial puberty stages but this is not so with girls who go through puberty about 2 years earlier then boys.

There are individuals of all sexual identities that practice bestiality. Some are purely bestialist and others also have sex with humans. Bestialist practice many forms of sex from intercourse, to oral stimulation and masturbation with the animal. Dogs and horses are the favored species but individuals are attracted to many types of animals such as cattle, donkeys, sheep, cats, snakes, wolves, birds, llama, pigs, rabbits, raccoons, giraffe, gazelle, seals, elephants, monkeys and just about any other animal that you can imagine.

Formicophilia: Formicophilia is a specialized variety of zoophilia where arousal is obtained through the sensations produced by small creatures like snails, frogs, ants, or other insects creeping, crawling, or nibbling of the genitalia, perineal area, and the nipples. E.g. to attract flies, some women and men smear honey on the vulva or penis to experience orgasm through the tickling sensation of the flies.
