Warning: Some of these "philias" are NSFNFS (Not Suitable For Nightmare-Free Sleep).
Via one of our favorite sources comes this fun illustrated diagram featuring fetishes such as microphilia, an attraction to little people, and 24 other extraordinarily kinky and creepy sexual proclivities. What floats one person's sexual boat can equate to a quickly sinking libido for others. Talking dirty can take some getting used to if it isn't your go-to, for example. The dachryphiliacs, those attracted to making one cry, the emetophiliacs, those attracted to vomit, who might have a tougher time working out their differences with their partners.
According to one fetish poll, masochism is the top ranking "alternative" sexual predilection, followed closely by odaxelagnia (arousal from biting or being bitten) and xenophilia (attraction to foreigners), all of which are leaps and bounds more manageable than, say, coprophilia, or any of these other crazy sexual preferences.
Read on to find out just what all of these weird fetishes are about. Even if you think you've seen and heard it all when it comes to kinky sex, trust us, you have NO idea. 50 Shades Of Grey did NOT prepare you for what you're about to learn about human sexuality.
