Rimming

“There are a lot of erotic nerve endings in the anus, so people can really find themselves having a different, better orgasm from rimming.”

-Joe Kort, PhD

Definition

A rimming fetish revolves around the love of giving or receiving rim jobs. Rimjobs involve either running your tongue around another person’s anus, or having them run their tongue around yours.

The Fetish

Getting excited by another person’s tongue circling your anus or finding pleasure in circling your tongue around someone else’s anus is what the rimming fetish is all about. This often involves inserting your tongue or having someone’s tongue inserted into your asshole as well. Rimming is becoming a very common sexual practice that excites multiple nerve endings of your anal entrance.

What To Do

Finding partners that want to perform rim jobs on you or have them performed on them won’t be a difficult task. There are so many people out there that enjoy anal play, especially when it involves another person’s tongue. If rimming is a new interest that has awakened inside of you it can be a fun realm to explore, especially with so many people out there that are already interested. It may also lead to more anal play, which may open you up sexually to more experiences. There are many forums, online groups, adult films and books that are all about pleasuring someone through rimming. Finding partners to explore rimjobs with won’t be difficult, but you do still have to be concerned about STIs and should take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your partners.

Wet And Messy (WAM)

“Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.”

-Marquis de Sade

Definition

The wet and messy fetish involves becoming aroused by getting wet and messy by things other than bodily fluids, and is also known as “sploshing”. This kink also includes food that makes people messy.

The Fetish

You might have this fetish if you find arousal when you, or others, become wet and messy from fluids that have nothing to do with someone’s body. This can relate to wet t-shirt contests, food fights, or any other situation where you get messy by fluids and substances that can be poured or put on you. Cake sitting could fall under this fetish as well, mainly if you are the one sitting on the cake. There are a lot of ways to fulfill WAM, since the amount of substances that aren’t bodily fluids and can be used to get you wet and messy is vast.

What To Do

Sourcing online for people that will want to get you wet and messy isn’t going to be that difficult. There are plenty of people out there that will gladly pour different substances on you, especially if that’s their version of this kink. Make sure you agree upon what fluids you’re comfortable having poured on you ahead of time, and it’s good to institute a safe-word as well for when you’re ready for them to stop. This is going to be a fairly easy kink to fulfill, because getting people messy covers many different fetishes.

Zoophilia

“Until one has loved an animal a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”

-Anatole France

Definition

Zoophilia in this context is when a person enjoys dressing up like an animal and having sex while dressed up as an animal, or when the person in question has a romantic attraction towards animals.

The Fetish

Not to be confused with furries, this kink is based more on realistic costumery to make an individual look like an actual animal. The zoophilia fetish often involves all parties participating in the sexual act being dressed like animals. This is not to be directly confused with bestiality, because it most often involves just the act of humans dressed up more realistically as animals, although it can sometimes involve a romantic attraction towards animals themselves. Being clear about the legality of this fetish is absolutely necessary, because erotic play with actual animals is not legal in most places, and is an infringement on a creature’s right to make decisions.

What To Do

With the amount of incredibly realistic costumes and animal furs available, it should be easy to find the specific costume to suit your specific animalistic desires. To find others interested in similar types of play, you may want to look into primal play sites or forums, to see if you can find animal costumed enthusiasts that would enjoy some erotic time with you.
 
There are plenty of costume creators available online that make very realistic costumes, and some will even involve the use of real animal fur in their creations. If you want that extra sense of realism and aren’t ethically opposed to real fur, you should definitely explore the hyper real costume makers out there and see what they can tailor to your exact needs. Unleashing the passionate beast will feel even more satisfying if your attire matches your actual desires more closely.

Aroflux

“Those who tied love to sex, or even love to romance, didn’t own the emotion itself.”

-A.M. Strickland

Definition

An aroflux person is someone on the aromantic spectrum whose romantic attraction fluctuates but leans towards the aromantic side of the spectrum. This is the orientation that typically has the most fluctuations ranging from fully aro, to grayromantic, all the way to alloromantic. This can waver from day to day. It can be a romantic orientation of its own or can be combined such as aroflux homoromantic. The counterpart to this on the asexual spectrum is aceflux.

The Controversy

There is pushback on this term, even within the aro community. Some people argue that fluctuating on romantic attraction is normal for all people and therefore does not qualify as a romantic orientation. For people who identify as aroflux this commentary is steeped in orientation erasure. This misunderstanding might stem from the difficulty for an aro person to understand full feelings of romantic attraction and likewise for an alloromantic person to understand the lack of romantic feelings. The main reason aroflux people stand behind their orientation as a distinct one is because of the tendency to lean towards the aroromantic orientation but also fluctuate beyond gray or demiromantic.

Aromantic

“A kiss may ruin a human life.”

-Oscar Wilde​

Definition

Being aromantic means you do not experience romantic attraction to other people. Aromantic people are also known as aro in slang terms.

Aromantic vs. Asexual

There is a lot of mix-up between the terms aromantic and asexual. Aromantic means you are not interested in romance but you may very well be interested in sex. Asexual means you are do not experience sexual attraction but you could potentially be interested in romantic relationships. There are also people that identify as both aromantic and asexual. An aro person is not lacking in the ability to have emotional connections with people, they just don’t have the need for a romantic connection. Many aro people have what is known as a queerplatonic relationship, which is very much like a close friendship. Aro people will often develop “squishes” which is a strong desire to have a close platonic relationship with someone. Just like with asexuality, aro people are also on a spectrum ranging from fully aromantic to somewhat alloromantic (which is the opposite of aromantic). There are terms for people who fall in between such as gray-romantic, demiromantic, WTFromantic, and lithromantic. 

Aromantic Relationships

Aro people can still be in a relationship – remember, there are reasons other than romance (or sex) to be in a relationship with someone. In those relationships, affection and sex may happen. An aro person may want to be in a relationship with someone because they love them in a platonic way, even if they are not experiencing romantic love, or because they have similar life goals or want to raise a family together. Some may opt to refrain from relationships but still participate in sexual relations with others.

Weapon Fetish

“Every little thing about you can be a weapon, if you’re clever enough.”

-Courtney Summers, Sadie

Definition

People with a weapon fetish are aroused by a wide array of weapons, ranging from swords, knives, and clubs, to more modern weaponry such as guns and explosives. This can extend to anything that someone thinks of as a weapon as well.

The Fetish

This kink involves people that want to have sex surrounded by weapons, are turned on by the sight of different weapons, or want to have weapons involved during the actual act of sex itself. This may include knife play, needles, guns, and any other sharp or blunt object that could be considered a weapon. It is exceedingly important to make sure that whomever is actually wielding a weapon during play has a firm grasp on its use and any safety practices based around it.

Tips & Safety

Before involving any weapons in your play with another person, make sure that the person wielding any weaponry knows how to properly use it. Along with knowing how to properly use a weapon in a safe manner for play, also set any boundaries and safe-words ahead of time. When knives are used for play, it may work best to have the actual blades slightly blunted, so as not to cause any accidental cuts during play.

There are plenty of chatrooms and forums online that focus on discussions over weaponry, the use of it, and the fascination many people have with it. This may be a good avenue to find someone to erotically play with that actually knows how to use weapons, and that understands safe practices based around their use. Martial artists may be ideal play partners in the realms of weapon use if your interests lean towards swords and knives, and they will often have been taught restraint and control in their usage.

Underwear Fetish

“You will treat my underwear with the reverence it deserves. Next time, you will stop and appreciate–hell, you’ll marvel at the miracle of my ass clad in silk.”

-Molly Harper, How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf

Definition

An underwear fetish involves being aroused by, or fascinated with underwear, usually women’s underwear. When men have this fetish, it will often be pursued by them collecting, wearing, or smelling women’s underwear.

The Fetish

This fetish will often involve a man, or a woman, asking for another person’s underwear, sometimes after having had sex with them, but not always. The main focus will be on the attaining of, wearing, and/or smelling another person’s underwear.

What To Do

If you have a fascination with the underwear of another person, then asking them about playing with their underwear, smelling, touching, or wearing them should come after you’ve established a mutual interest in each other. You could also find used underwear online if you’re inclined to have some shipped to you. There are a number of Asian companies that specialize in used women’s underwear, and there may even be vending machines for it if you are traveling in Japan.
 
There are plenty of women that may be willing to help you in attaining your kink by selling you their used underwear for a price, or they may just enjoy the idea of you being aroused by them. Finding others that share your kink won’t be difficult either, and a quick search online will get you in touch with mutual underwear lovers. A possible avenue of contact with mutual kinksters are online communities revolving around underwear, and looking into interactions with camgirls.

Kigurumi

“The circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant, but it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.”

-Pokemon

Definition

People participating in the kigurumi fetish are interested in wearing anime masks, and more specifically female anime masks. This is not to be confused with the popular onesy style of pajamas that are shaped like cartoon animals or mythical creature, although these may be incorporated into the kigurumi style of erotic play as well. It is frequent for men with the kigurumi fetish to want to wear female anime masks while having erotic encounters, or to want to watch other men wearing female anime masks, but this fetish isn’t limited to same-sex encounters or any particular gender.

From Anime To Reality

There are more anime fans in the world than not, and it’s not going to be hard to find those that are involved in the kink world as well. Search out conversations on kink sites based around anime, and you’ll soon be able to find someone interested in kigurumi. A good place to start will be on forums for popular anime series with female characters as their main stars.
 
Sailor Moon is a common female character that is often roleplayed by many LARPers, which provides a wide range of mask options for this character. Look up any mainstream female anime characters, find the one you wish to portray or have portrayed for you, and order the one that turns you on the most. Don’t lose heart if the character you want to portray isn’t mainstream, there are many individual artists out there that would take a commission to build you the exact character mask you’ve been fantasizing about.

Keraunophilia

“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”

-Mark Twain

Definition

Keraunophilia is an erotic fascination with thunder and lightning that may involve arousal caused by storms. For someone with this fetish, the crash of thunder and lightning often causes excitement. Keaunophilia also involves the desire to have sex with people, or pleasure yourself, during thunder and lightning storms, or a simulated version of the aforementioned activities.

Thunderous Pleasure

Arousal from lightning and thunder is not uncommon at all. Many people can remember the heated elemental passion that has been sparked during wild storms, and will be interested in recreating that with you. You may even look up storm-chasing forums to find fellow kinksters with a love of sex during wild storms. There are plenty of storm connoisseurs out there in the world, and engaging with them in a kinky fashion won’t be that terribly hard to do. Explore the level of interest your chat friends have in the elements in relation to passionate interactions, and then see if you can make a date for the next big storm that’s been predicted.

Don’t Play With Thunder

As a precaution, it’s good to remember that while thunder and lightning are extremely arousing, actually being out in a storm is very dangerous. Enjoy the primal energy of the elements from behind glass and walls, and you’ll be able to take in the passionate fury of a storm, without having to put your life at risk at the same time. If you do happen to brave the weather, and have a partner out there with you, then take a few precautions. Make sure that neither of you has any metal on your person, metals toys, or otherwise, and then wear boots with rubber in the soles, to give you some better protection against any electrical shocks. It’s going to be very risky if you do decide to venture outside for some kinky play, so stay away from any large bodies of water, pools, or hot tubs.
