We recently talked about foot fetishes in this blog. Compared to some of the activities people engage in for sexual gratification, toes are pretty tame!

What are some of the more unusual fetishes?

• Balloon fetishists, called Looners, are sexually stimulated by balloons. Some enjoy inflating or popping them, while others enjoy the look, colors, smell, sound movement or the tactile sensations, comparing it to skin.
• Introduced to the mainstream recently by the viral video, Two Girls, One Cup, Coprophilia is a fetish involving sexual pleasure from feces—rubbing it on oneself while masturbating, pooping on a partner, etc. I don’t want to pass judgment, but it’s hard for me to get through this segment without gagging, although it does remind me of a scene in a certain movie—and our next fetish.
• First introduced in Team America and now featured on Broadway in Avenue Q, it’s hard to tell whether “puppet porn” is a fetish or just a pop-culture phenomenon. One of the attractions, I’m sure, is seeing puppets engage in acts on stage and film that would qualify as hard-core porn if they were performed by actual human beings. For instance, Team America was the first R-rated film to include a Cleveland Steamer. But hey, they’re puppets. It’s okay.
• If puppets don’t turn you on, you may try Hentai, or X-rated Japanese animation. What’s not to love about large-breasted, doe-eyed, barely legal babes in short skirts—even if they are cartoons?
• I never knew “casting” was a sexual fetish, so I’m adding it to this list, although, compared to some of the other activities listed, it is downright tame. Called “casters,” these fetishists enjoy looking at casts on people or being constrained by casts themselves.
  “For my husband, it’s a variation of the foot fetish. Others like arms and such,” says “CastBitch,” who runs www.castbitch.com. “For some, it’s the feeling of not being able to move, like bondage. For others, it is the attention; they are getting away with something secret.” CB first discovered the fetish when she found links to Web sites and photos on her husband’s computer. “He about fell out of his chair when I told him, ‘Let’s try it!’”

That, of course, is every fetishist’s dream—to have a partner willing to engage in their fetish with them.

What should you do if a partner approaches you, wanting to try something unusual in the bedroom? If it’s not something that completely turns you off, give it a shot.

One of the great things about sharing a fetish with your partner is the intimacy it evokes. Since most fetishists are not very open and public about their turn-ons, you are sharing something very special, just between you and your partner.
