STATUEPHILIA

If you’ve ever seen someone looking shifty and rather hot under the collar near David’s larger than life goods at the Accademia in Florence, chances are they are a Statuephile.

Statuephilia, also called agalmatophilia, or Pygmalionism after the myth of Pygmalion, is an uncommon sexual fetish that involves sexual attraction to statues.

But it doesn’t end there, Statuephiles are also aroused by simple blow-up dolls, as well as those new ones that look very lifelike and are made of rubber.

DORAPHILIA

The red carpet and 5th Ave are usually lined with ladies (and men) in fur coats, and while some of us either gush over how great they look, or grind our teeth for the sake of the animals, Doraphiles get turned on by them.

Doraphalia is a sexuoerotic arousal and fetishistic fondness for the smell and feel of animal skin, fur, or leather. In other words, PETA’s worst nightmare.

TRICHOPHILIA

Ever gone to the hairdresser and s/he spent a little too long brushing your hair, it’s a possibility that s/he is a trichophile. Trichophilia is actually a fetish for hair, or new hairstyles. No doubt razor-happy wig-wearing’ Britney is a hot item in Trichophilia circles.

Trichophilia is a fetish in which one becomes sexually aroused by, or is extremely fond of, human hair (usually cephalic); this may be of hair in general or different hairstyles or colors. Arousal may also occur from imagery and physical contact of hair, this including head hair, pubic hair, and axillary hair.

STHENOLAGNIA

We’ve all seen the female body-building competitions and gasped in disbelief at the ladies with all those bulky muscles who look so un-feminine, but Sthenolagnia is a condition where men find that hugely sexually attractive.

Sthenolagnia is a fetish (related to female muscle growth) defined as ’sexual arousal from demonstration of strength or muscles’. The term was coined by the German psychologist Magnus Hirschfeld in the late 1800s. Some activities that might arouse these men include various types of lifts and carries that illustrate different aspects of female strength, muscle worship, wrestling muscular girls, fantasies of rape by muscular women, being used as human dumbbells for women, etc.

SALIROMANIA

Saliromaniacs like nothing more than putting on an evening gown, then rolling around in sty. Anything from dirt to smearing make-up, tousling hair, or ripping clothes is this turn on.

Salirophila is a sexual fetish that involves deriving erotic pleasure from soiling or disheveling the object of one’s desire, usually an attractive person. It may involve tearing or damaging their clothing, covering them in mud or filth, messing their hair or makeup. The fetish does not involve harming or injuring the subject, only their appearance.

Man, I wouldn’t mind slinging some mud at Paris Hilton, but I’d also want her to make an oinking sound too. Maybe that’s another fetish.

   Thank you for your article. This helps a lot.
   I have sthenolagnia fetish and i begin to wonder if this is not normal.
   Is there a cure to this type of fetish? or at least some treatment to minimise the urge.

   Your response will be highly appreciated.

   Note: sorry to use an alias, but I am very serious.
