Sexual fetishes are not a new phenomenon. People have been exploring their sexuality in unique ways for centuries. But with the advent of the internet, the exploration and normalization of these fetishes has grown exponentially.

Some of these fetishes are pretty common and well-known, while others are downright weird and difficult to comprehend. Here are ten of the weirdest fetishes you won’t believe exist.

1. Forniphilia: Human Furniture Fetish

Forniphilia is a fetish where people use human beings as furniture. They are often dressed in different costumes and positioned to be used as tables, chairs, or other types of furniture around a room.

The “furniture” may be restrained to prevent them from moving or collapsing. Some people find this fetish erotic, as they enjoy the power dynamic involved.

2. Balloon Fetish: Looners

A balloon fetish is a sexual fetish that involves the attraction to balloons. The specific act of popping the balloon may also be the desired end.

Those who have a balloon fetish are often referred to as, “looners.” The sounds of the balloon popping plays an important role in pleasure, due to the anticipation, and the act of destruction that follows.

3. Objectophilia: In Love with Objects

Objectophilia, also known as Objectum-Sexuality, is a sexual attraction to inanimate objects. This can manifest as sexual fantasies, romantic impulses, or even love for the object.

The people who have this fetish are not just attracted but develop deep emotional connections and affection for the objects. Some examples include Eiffel Tower or Berlin Wall.

4. Trichophilia: A Hair Fetish

Trichophilia is simply an arousing attraction to hair, thinking about hair or playing with the hair. People who have it are really excited about things like getting haircuts, watching someone tie up their hair, brushing someone’s hair, and more.

As long as it is hair-related, those with trichophilia find it very attractions.

5. Fart Fetish: Pygophilia

Pygophilia is the term used for the sexual attraction to butts, and fart fetishism is a sub-category under it. They enjoy different smells and sound of flatulence, and the act of farting on someone’s face may be of particular interest.

But, it’s important to note that, though it might sound wrong and offensive, it’s totally okay and ethical when it is completely consensual.

8. Vorarephilia: Eating and Being Eaten

Vorarephilia is a fetish that enjoys the thought of one person being consumed by another, either whole or in part. The fetish can also include the idea of eating and/or being eaten sexually, either through oral sex or other means.

The act of consuming another being can be a means to feeding a hunger. It’s important to understand that this fetish should not be confused with cannibalism, which is not a legal or ethical practice.

9. Dendrophilia: Infatuation with Trees

Some of them have specific tree species that they feel the most attached to, and spend hours just being near and touching the tree.

10. Balanophilia: A Fetish for Scrotums

Balanophilia is a fetish when someone is turned on by looking at scrotums. People with this fetish find the male’s genitalia mesmerizing, and are into the look, shape, and sometimes even the texture of the scrotum.

This fetish is fairly common but is not talked about a lot.

The Bottom Line

In conclusion, people might have different ways to explore their sexuality. While some of the fetishes might seem totally outrageous, they’re part of the larger diversity of human sexual preferences.

People’s sexual desires, likes, and dislikes can’t be controlled, and it’s important to understand that all forms of sexual explorations should be between consenting adults.
