With all the kinky fun I’m having, sometimes I think I’ve seen it all! But there are as many expressions of sexuality as there are people and cultures.
I’m always fascinated by the weird world of fetish and fantasy, and when I began thinking about freaky fetishes and strange kinks, I didn’t know what I would find.
Before the internet came along, there was so much shit I never even could have imagined being sexy… but there were people out there who were into it. How did these kinksters manage to locate each other before the internet came along? Don’t ask me, but they did.
9 Freaky Kinks and Strange Fetishes
Here are some of the more bizarre fetishes and kink traditions you probably didn’t know about.
1. Formicophilia: Insect Fetish
The word formi comes from the Latin root for ant. In this strange kink, people get off on the idea of having insects crawling all over their flesh. Formication (not to be confused with fornication) is the sensation that one has bugs all over one’s body, in a non-sexual way.
Insect fetish might be rare, but not rare enough to avoid study by academia. A paper published by Dr. John Money in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy described it as arousal by creatures such as “snails, frogs, ants, or other insects creeping, crawling or nibbling on the body, especially the genitalia, perianal area or nipples.”
2: Eproctophilia: Fart Fetish
Eproctophilia is getting turned on by smelling someone else’s farts.
We all know that everybody loves their own brand, but other people’s farts are hard to take. Still, if you’re reading this and you just realized that this is what you want in life then you’ll want to seek out some gassy gals. Trust me, they’re out there!

3: Hierophilia: Religious Kink
Are you sexually attracted to religious images? Do you get hard when you see Jesus hanging on the cross? Do you get swollen when you think of Laxmi’s robust subcontinental breasts? Is this freaky fetish a real thing?
Apparently. I’d feel a lot more comfortable having a statue of the virgin Mary than a menorah shoved up my ass, that’s for sure.

4. Necrophilia
No. Just no. Leave your shovel and crowbar at home when you decide to jog past the city graveyard.
Okay, but seriously, if you’re going to do it with a dead body, you should still wear protection. There are all kinds of communicable diseases beyond the usual STDs that could be occupying necrotic flesh. Also, remember to ask for consent.
5. Xylophilia and Dendrophilia
These freaky fetishes are the attraction to wood and trees.
I can’t imagine how this crazy kink would work, especially with splinter management. But you don’t have to screw a tree directly. It’s more like being in a tree or touching one during the act, that helps get you to the promised land. A lot of ladies like to rub up against knots and burls to get the juices flowing.
6. Furries
People with furry fetish are those who dress up in mascot costumes and have sex. They have conventions. They even imagine themselves as having animal spirits. I guess if it makes them happy then they should do what makes them happy!
Furries have even developed a lot of their own terminology and subcultures. Read more about Furry Fandom and Terminology.
7. Oculolinctus: Eyeball Licking
Allegedly an invention of young Japanese lovers who grew tired of kissing, eyeball licking or oculolinctus has been reported as a possible hoax. It’s hard to imagine how licking someone’s eye could be any kind of thrill.
But someone was doing it because pink eye, corneal abrasion, and chlamydia of the eye suddenly sprang into statistical overdrive from practitioners. The craze died away after the risk of harm and total loss of sight came to light.

8. Hybristophila: Criminal Fetish
This strange fetish takes the love of bad boys to an extreme. There are legions of ladies unfortunately who even pursue rapists and serial killers. For some it’s about the risk; and for others, it’s the non-risk (the man is contained in prison, and you’re the love he lets live.)
Most of us aren’t so extreme—we love a rogue, the rough and tumble guy, a wild card. What’s rare is those of us who call it a fetish or kink. Who knew there was a name for it!
9. Psychrophilia: Cold Fetish
This freaky fetish is for real. Some people derive “sexual arousal from being cold or watching others freeze.”
Shrinkage concerns aside, the thought of this one leaves me cold… but for some, Frosty the Snow Man is hot stuff.
