20 . Vorarephilia
Vorarephilia is the infamous cannibal kink . It means getting turned on by fanta- sies of eating someone , and the subject has made headlines this year due to the sexual assault allegations against actor Armie Hammer .
Of course , literally killing and eating someone is wrong . However , kinks and fetishes are already stigmatized ; we don ’ t need to pathologize this one if some- one is doing no harm . “ It is usually metaphorically , or an embodied feeling , rather than a literal translation ,” Dr . Richmond says . “ Partners will often say , ‘ I could just eat you alive I ’ m so turned on by you ,’ but that ’ s driven by an urge to consume the energy of eroticism and arousal more than a real or uncontrollable desire to consume a part of the human body . Obviously , if it moves into a com- pulsion or biting in a way that is not consensual , this is dangerous , illegal , and certainly not sex-positive ,” she adds .
The only safe and consensual way to try paraphilia is to ( consensually !) add it to your dirty talk . But , maybe wait until you know someone and their preferences before whispering , “ I want to cook and eat you alive , honey .”
21 . Quirofilia
Quirofilia is one of those kinks that sounds more far-out than it is : It simply refers to an attraction to hands . Whether you go for big , hairy hands , or soft , dain- ty manicured ones , considering how much we use our hands during sex , it ’ s a highly relatable kink .
22 . Pregnancy
Yes , pregnancy can be the result of sex , but it can also turn people on . Preg- nancy kinks include a desire to get someone pregnant ( sometimes known as a breeding fetish ) and an attraction to pregnant people . “ The former is one with an element of riskiness . There ’ s a permanent potential to be forever with the conse- quences of unprotected heterosexual intercourse ,” says Renye . The latter may simply be an attraction to a pregnant body or could be a type of age play .
23 . Tentacles
If you ’ ve ever gone into a porn search black hole , you may have stumbled upon anime tentacle porn . And yes , it ’ s okay to find it arousing . Don ’ t worry , you don ’ t need an actual octopus to enjoy tentacle play . There are lovely sex toy compa- nies , such as Bad Dragon , who make body-safe silicone tentacle dildos for you .
24 . Age Play
Age play is easy to be creeped out at , but it ’ s so common that you don ’ t even realize it . If a lover has ever called you “ baby ,” you ’ ve engaged in age play . But for people who really get into age play , it may look more like a “ daddy dom / baby girl ” situation where the roles are more 133 pronounced .
