Sexual Fetish Names

Sexual fetishism or erotic fetishism is sexual fixation on inanimate objects or nongenital body parts. Often referred to as deviant behavior due to the norms of life. The object of interest is called a fetish; the person who has a fetish for the object is a fetishist. Here are some sexual fetish names…

A sexual fetish can be considered a non-pathological aid to sexual arousal, or as a mental disorder if it causes significant psychosocial distress to the person or has a detrimental effect on important areas of their life.

Sexual arousal of certain body parts can be further classified as partialism.

Paraphilia

Paraphilias is a clinical term for an emotional disorder that is defined as sexual arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors that are repetitive, intense, last for at least 6 months, and cause significant distress or impair important areas of functioning.

Paraphilia is a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desire, usually involving extreme or dangerous activities.

With the exception of masochism, medical professionals almost exclusively diagnose paraphilias in men.

There are several types of paraphilic disorders, each of which has a different focus on the sufferer’s sexual arousal.

There are biological, psychological and social risk factors for developing paraphilias.

While the desired sexual stimulant for a person with paraphilia depends on the particular paraphilia, the characteristics of the disease are often very similar, as described in the current reference standard for mental health diagnosis, DSM-5.

To make a diagnosis of paraphilia, a mental health professional usually conducts or refers the person for a medical interview, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests. The professional will assess a history of mental health symptoms.
Treatment of paraphilic sexual disorder usually involves a combination of psychotherapy and medication.

Paraphilias are quite chronic, so a minimum of 2 years of treatment is recommended for even the mildest paraphilia.
Prevention for the development of paraphilic behavior usually involves reducing psychosocial risk factors for its development.

The causes of fetishes

Specialized sexologists and psychologists do not point to a common cause why people can suffer from fetishism. Despite this, everyone agrees that most sexual fetishes are already visible in childhood, long before experiencing their own sexuality.

Another reason why people may become fetishists may be due to inappropriate childhood sexual behavior either through sexual abuse or trauma generated around their sexuality. In these cases, it is essential to treat with the help of a professional psychologist all the negative consequences that can go along with these unfortunate experiences.

Is it good to have fetishes?

A sexual fetish is not a psychological disorder. Despite this, a fetishist may have problems because of the shame or implications that their sexual fetishism may have. In this way, a fetish can become an anguish for the person who suffers from it because of the opinions of others. So much so that on many occasions, fetishism can look like a psychological pathology.

Although the experience of fetishes in itself is not a problem, the reality is that it can turn into paraphilic disorders when they occur without any control. When this happens, a fetishist ends up having some repercussions, especially on an emotional level, because they cannot have meaningful sex with other people. In these cases, it is essential to try to consult a professional psychologist to treat this uncontrollable fetishism.

Examples of Sexual Fetish names with clinical Name

Necrophilia (Necrophilia)

It is the behavior of human sexual attraction and arousal towards corpses. Necrophilia is also known as thanatophilia and necrolagnia.

Necrophilia is often considered rare, but there are no data for its prevalence in the general population. Some necrophilia just fantasize about the action, without carrying it out.

Treatment and care for necrophilia is similar to that prescribed for most paraphilias. In addition to advocating the treatment of related psychopathology.

Exhibitionism

Passion to show off one’s sexual organs in public.

Exhibitionism is the act of showing off or exposing, in a public or semi-public context, parts of a person’s body that are normally covered – for example, breasts, genitals, or buttocks.

This practice may arise from a desire or urge to expose themselves in such a way to groups of friends, acquaintances, or strangers for their entertainment, sexual gratification, or for the pleasure of successfully surprising an unsuspecting observer.

Agalmatophilia

It is paraphilia or one of sexual fetish names that involves sexual attraction to statues, dolls, mannequins, or other similar figurative objects.

Such attraction may include a desire to have actual sexual contact with the object, sexual (or non-sexual) fantasies with a liked or “turned on” object, the act of watching an encounter between the object, or the sexual pleasure obtained. It occurs in the mind to change or turn other objects or people into desirable objects.

Auto-vampirism

Is a form of vampire that refers to drinking one’s own blood, usually as a form of sexual gratification.

As a mental disorder, it is also referred to as autohemophagia, which comes from three Greek words: auto, meaning “self”; hemo, for “blood”; and, phag, which means “to eat”.

Although closely related to vampires, the two differ in that vampires are a sadistic act whereas “automatic vampires” are on the side of masochism.

Along with drinking their own blood, most vampire practitioners automatically commit self-harm in order to obtain that blood.

Bondage (slavery)

Is one of sexual ploy involving a power play between the domineering and the submissive.

This sexual practice usually uses a rope to bind a partner.

BDSM

The types of restraints used in slavery include rope, which is often favored for its flexibility. However, riggers require considerable skill and practice to be carried out safely. Other types of restraints include chains, handcuffs, thumb cuffs, and belly chains.

Bestiality

Is a form of sexual relationship between humans and animals, for example humans with horses, dogs, cows, goats, pigs, chimpanzees, and other creatures that are categorized as animals, either anal, vaginal, or oral. Beastility is more often done with the motivation of producing pornographic films. Although a small number of humans do do it on the basis of deviant sexual desire and excessive love for animals.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but some researchers make a distinction between attraction (zoophilia) and action (bestiality).

Zoophilia

It is a paraphilia that involves sexual fixation on a non-human animal. Bestiality is cross-species sexual activity between humans and non-human animals.

While sex with animals is not prohibited in some countries, in most countries bestiality is illegal under animal abuse laws or laws governing wiretapping or crimes against nature.

Zoosexuality

The term zoosexual was proposed by Hani Miletski in 2002 as a value-neutral term. The use of zoosexual as a noun (referring to a person) is synonymous with zoophile, while the adjective form of the word – as, for example, in the phrase “zoosexual act” – can denote sexual activity between humans and non-human animals. The derived noun “zoosexuality” is sometimes used by self-identifying zoophiles in support groups and on internet-based discussion forums to designate a sexual orientation that manifests as romantic or emotional involvement with, or sexual attraction to, non-human animals.

Bugchasing or charging

It is the act of having sexual intercourse with an HIV positive person intentionally by someone so that he/she is infected with HIV.

A person who does bugchasing (called a bugchaser) is caused for various reasons such as seeking pleasure from performing dangerous actions.

Exophilia

Is a feeling of love for something foreign, new, extraterrestrial (outer space), robotic, supernatural, or other non-human life forms. This can be considered a sexual form of neophilia. People with exophilia have a desire for a non-human form of life, but are fundamentally more human in an alien form.

It is also associated with belief in otherworldly entities, energies, or beings. Myths from other cultures tell about spirits/aliens/half-gods/etc. paired with humans of a sexual nature, which suggests that at one time exophilia may have been more common.

Forniphilia, the love of being a piece of furniture

Still in a context of submission/domination, forniphilia, also called objectification, is a practice that consists of reducing the partner to a state of furniture.

Forteurism

The majority of frotteurs are men and most of the victims are women, although usually the perpetrators of frotteurism are men and the victims are women, but there are also frotteurs that are carried out between men to men, and women to men, and women to women.

Usually the frotteur is only oriented to the enjoyment of sexual sensations alone or for a moment. The thing to watch out for with the frotteur is that he can do it not only to one person but to other people as well, according to his will as the object of his sexual outlet.

Gerontophilia

Is sexual attraction to elderly people (elderly). A person who has this sexual preference is called a gerontophile.

The critical point is that gerontophiles rely heavily on having (or imagining) having sex with an elderly partner to achieve orgasm, not just because they are willing to do so. It’s not just about love. It’s also not about love and money, but a person’s sexual attraction to the elderly.

What are the causes and risk factors for paraphilia?

Biological problems that are considered risk factors for paraphilias include some differences in brain activity during sexual arousal, as well as general brain structure. Mental health experts have found that male pedophiles have lower IQ scores on psychological tests than men who are not pedophiles.

Research has also determined that they tend to have a history of getting lower grades in school than their non-pedophile counterparts, regardless of intellectual ability and learning style.

There are a number of psychological theories about how paraphilias develop. Some view this disorder as a manifestation of suppressed psychosexual development, with paraphilic behavior protecting the person’s psyche from anxiety (a defense mechanism). Others believe paraphilias are the result of the sufferer associating something with sexual arousal and interest, or with having an early sexual experience with it. An unusual life that is amplified by an orgasm. Some people view this disorder as another form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Psychologically, pedophiles who act on their impulses by committing sexual offenses tend to engage in highly distorted thinking, in which they use their position of power and view offending as an appropriate way to meet their needs, viewing children as equal sexual beings. with adults, and perceive their sexual needs as uncontrollable.

Another theory about the risk factors for paraphilia is that they are associated with stages of childhood psychological development such as temperament, early relationship formation, repetitive trauma, and impaired sexual development, as follows:

Temperament

Tendency to be overly inhibited or uncontrolled with emotions and behavior
Early relationship formation: lack of stable self-awareness, difficulty managing emotions, and in seeking help and comfort from others

Trauma repetition

People who are victims of sexual abuse or other forms of abuse, especially if it occurs during childhood, can identify with the abuser so that they do what has been inflicted on them by victimizing others in some way. They may also act out the trauma by injuring themselves.

Impaired sexual development

Patterns that bring sexual pleasure tend to form in adolescence. People raised in sexually permissive or inhibited households are at higher risk for developing paraphilia.

Family risk factors for the development of paraphilia include high parental conflict or low parental supervision, lack of maternal affection, and generally not feeling well treated by parents. People with paraphilia tend to have trouble making friends and other relationships.
