Alex Cheves is a sex educator and writer, who recently compiled a short list for The Advocate of some rather exotic fetishes and kinks some of us are engaging in. I thought I would share just a few of the more...interesting...ones he included. To be clear, I present these with no intent to shame or mock. You do you, boo, as long as it's Safe, Sane, and Consensual. I wrote about some of those he mentioned the other week. But many were too interesting to ignore, so yer boy Hank here is giving you more obscure kinks!

Religious Iconography

Because so many of us were raised with sets of religious rules pertaining to our bodies, how could we not grow into sexual humans who were so engrossed in our bodies, especially when our thoughts about our bodies were so closely connected to the religious views governing those rules? As Cheves said, "Thanks to our old companion shame, religious iconography is filled with sexual tension. Religion is intimately intertwined with our sex lives." Replace the confessional window with a gloryhole and the hands of the priest resting on our lips during communion, "eating the body," and it's surprising that every Mass doesn't descend into a Roman Bacchanalia! Not to mention how many of the priests are super hot! Hell, there's even a calendar out every year I saw once being sold right outside the Vatican! There are porn sites whose entire theme is the eroticism of priests and believers!

Mucophilia

This is, as you probably guessed, a fetish for people sneezing. Are we that fascinated by things our bodies do, especially when they're uncontrollable? Apparently so. This is different, it should be noted, from nasophilia which is the fetish for nose-picking. I'll just let you search for that porn on your own.

Tripsolagnia

Do you have a favorite barber or salon you go to where the hot, possibly burly barber gets his hands on your head in a pre-cut shampoo and really gets in there, massaging your scalp, rubbing, grinding, urging the foamy bubbles into a rich lather, and you're under that sheet getting a massive boner? Guess what, you enjoy the fetish of having your hair washed! And yeah, as cutie-patootie Boyle says in the clip above, it is a romantic thing to do with your partner! Definitely one of the tamer kinks.

Paraphilic Inf*ntilism

Because sometimes ya just don't want to grow up! Also called autonepiophilia, this is the fetish for dressing up and being treated like a baby. You'll see practitioners at most kink events walking around proudly in a nappy with a pacifier in their mouths. Some regard it as a true bucking of the system, refusing to grow older and let go of soft, cuddly, joyous youngish things, and also the comfort of being taken care of. And like I say, more power to 'em! This one is so prevalent, especially in the straight world, that none other than Phil Donohue did a show on it in 1991!
