Staking My Claim In The Sexual Fetish Arena
  • Georgia O'Keeffe Had A Point The other day, exploring some of the weirder sexual fetishes found on Ye Jolly Olde Intertoobs, I started to feel left out. As if so many others before me had taken on and championed sexual fetishes the world had never seen. That’s Viking-level shit. That’s marking the field of battle with an epic poem painted on a rock in your enemy’s blood. That’s legendary stuff. I want to be a part of that.

    So, it’s time to make up some new sexual fetishes. Feel free to pass these around. Try them out. Swirl them around your mouth,  figuratively and literally — tell me how their juices taste.

    And, better yet, feel free to toss your hat into the ring. Hit the comments, and tell me about Your Made-Up Sexual Fetish. Best one wins a prize. By which I mean, you get no prize.

    Ready? Let us begin.

    Cloud Fuckers

    Also known as “Misties.” Yes, that’s right. People who want to hump clouds. One guy gets turgid at the cumulonimbus. Some chick gets all tickly when thinking about cirrus clouds drifting across her heaving, dewy bosoms. You probably get two varities: the posers, and the doers. The posers think it’s impossible, but they get hot and heavy about it anyway. It’s like the dragon porn people. Can’t have sex with a mythical lizard beast, so they fantasize about it on the Internet. Same way, here. They write slutty fictions about having three-ways with an altostratus and a nimbostratus, and somebody takes a steamy load of contrails to the face. But then you get your doers, the people who really take this seriously. They probably die doing it. Maybe they enrobe a small jet in a greasy coat of off-white rubber and fly in and out of clouds. Or maybe they just jump out of the plane, naked, deep into the yawning cavern of a sodden thunderhead. (Edit: This is not that original, as it turns out. Damn you, Internet!)

    Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Fetishists

    Don’t remember Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors? Neither does anybody else. Except me, and the made-up fetishists who get all hot-and-gooey thinking about this mid-80s cartoon where the heroes of the Lightning League battle the evil plant creatures of the Monster Minds. That’s sort of fucked up right there, the fact that the vegetables are the bad guys. Whatever. Point is, the Monster Minds dudes all look pretty much like dildos and blooming vaginas and bulging testicles anyway. Plus, there was something called a “magic root?” I dunno. I had the toys, and even back at age 10, I was like, “I think this brain guy looks a little like a scrotum.” It’s basically pre-teen tentacle porn. So, you can be sure that the kids who played with those toys now represent a small-but-persistent army of fetishistic adults. “I’m going to dress up as Herc Stormsailor. You be Dr. Zorg! I’ll violate your veiny brain with my Drill Vines! You nail me on the back with your Spray Gunner. This is hot. Let’s blog about it.”

    Traffic Fiends

    Guy listens to the local news station for the traffic report. He hears where the traffic hotspots are going to be. He heads out on his Moped, erection straining against too-tight khakis. But the traffic is too thick! He cannot penetrate it. He hides behind an exit sign and swoons. Trafficus Interruptus. He goes home and plays with Matchbox cars, but instead of racing them around the track, he simply shoves them bumper to bumper, and moans at the thoughts of sweet, sweet highway paralysis. … File this one under “inexplicable,” like car crash fetishists. You have to believe that this could exist. Somebody who finds the locked-up, restrained nature of a traffic jam tantalizing and titillating instead of maddening. “Holy shit, someone spilled chickens in Route 9. Nobody’s going anywhere! I have to get down there. Nnnnghhh. Muhhhh. So hot!”  (I’d like to clarify that he’s hot for the traffic jam, not the spilled chickens. A spilled chicken fetish is a whole different basket of eggs.)

    French Foreign Legion Porn

    The Nazis always get all the repressed sexual fetishism. They have the monopoly, and that’s just not fair. So, I posit that at least three people out there violate themselves to French Foreign Legion Porn. I mean, c’mon. They have big hats. Bulbous hats. Phallic hats. They’re out there in the desert. All those jangly bits. The sand-caked beards. The esprit de corps. Totally sextastic, right? … Hey, those three people think it’s hot. Okay, so maybe you’re not buying it. Hold on, I’m thinking, I’m thinking. What about Civil War porn? Don’t see much of that. Or the Polish People’s Army! Super-sexy! Mrowl!

    People Who Masturbate With Pages Ripped From Stolen Library Books

    … yeah, I kind of think that one says it all. Maybe they’d call themselves “Finers,” or “BSBTs, Boner-Sporting Biblio Thieves.” I think this one has traction. Let’s get on it. Let’s spread the word. In ten years, this’ll be totally normal. Of course, in ten years all our libraries will probably be Starbucks, so, maybe this one’s not so hot after all.

    (Possible TMI Alert)

    A couple of weeks back I joined Fetlife.com, it’s basically the kinky sex version of Facebook. It’s really, very amusing. Mainly because it’s a social networking site and not a dating site.

    But anyway, after seeing the actual fetishes people have listed there, these would not surprise me at all.

  • This is because of that cyclops porn I found, isn’t it?

  • Shawn: That’s what’s crazy fantastic about the Internet. A little something for everybody.

    Though, I’ll admit, the moment I see someone fetishizing Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, I might officially accept that the Apocalypse has been ushered in by mad hands.

    Wood: This post is not because of the cyclops porn. The post from two days ago sure is, though! Our discussion was part of the impetus. That and the “insects in my ass” search term that got people to this site.

  • Having your eyeballs sucked out through a straw. Even weirder, sucking your own eyeballs out through a straw. It would have to be a bendy straw, I guess.

    Having sex in a perfectly normal way but roleplaying that you’re actually two atoms participating in nuclear fusion. Actually I’m totally going to try this.

    Autoerotic asphyxiation on the moon?

  • [...] Tackle a rewrite with no idea how to do it, and you’ll flounder in the mud. Your palms will slap against the wet clay. It will be embarrassing. Nobody will want to talk to you. You’ll die a virgin. A mud-covered, filth-pantsed virgin. You’ll have clay packed tight in your ass-crack. Is that what you want? No. And if it is, you should go make up your own fetish and add it to the list. [...]
