The furry fetish is a subcategory of the larger transformation fetish community.  The furry fetish is characterized by a sexual attraction to anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Most people that are part of this fetish enjoy dressing up as animal characters while engaging in sexual acts, or sometimes engaging in sexual acts with stuffed animals.

Some furry porn is live action, but the majority of furry fetish content is cartoons or animated.  Furry porn is also often combined with other fetishes, like BDSM or foot fetishes. Therefore, as a whole, the furry community is very open to different sexual orientations, attractions, and lifestyles.

This week’s fetish is objectophilia, which is a sexual and sometimes emotional attraction towards specific inanimate objects. This is an incredibly rare form of fetishism.

Objectophiliacs often have strong feelings of arousal, attraction, love and/or commitment to certain items or structures. Every objectophilic fetishist is different, there is a large variety of things one may be attracted to, such as buildings, instruments, electronics, cars, landmarks …etc. Objectophilia fetishists usually believe that objects can have souls, intelligence, feelings, and the ability to communicate.

Objectophiliacs have been in the news before, like Edward Smith, who claims to have had sex with more than 1,000 cars. Or Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, who married the Berlin Wall.

Crush fetishists attraction consist of the desire to see others (usually attractive women) crush or step on an object or small animal. The most common animals crush fetishists choose are insects, frogs, lizards, or small rodents. Crush fetishists that aren’t fond of animal crushing tend to go with inanimate objects, such as tomatoes or other fruits and vegetables.  The most popular method is to crush them with feet, but other ways are included, such as sitting on the object or using hands. Feet in sexy heels or bare feet are the most popular.

Most crush fetishists consider it to be a mixture of several other fetishes.  There are elements of  podophilia (foot fetish),  trampling (desire to be stepped on), and sadism (pleasure from pain). According to Jeff Vilencia, publisher of The American Journal of Crush Freaks and the producer of dozens of crush videos:

“The fetish is very old, and it starts in childhood, when the child observes an adult, usually a woman, stepping on an insect, he becomes sexually aroused, sort of by happenstance, and as he becomes an adolescent, he eroticizes his behavior in his sexuality and it becomes a part of his love map.”

Today’s weekly Fetish Fix is hierophilia and it refers to sexual urges or fantasies involving sacred or religious objects.

Hierophilia is often more that just an attraction to religious objects, they are also  people who get off on having sex or masturbating while in a religious setting.

Now, most may think that this type of fetish is an act of deliberate blasphemy, that it’s their way of bashing God, but in fact, the majority who reportedly practice hierophilia are deeply devoted to their religion. In most cases, the hierophiliac that derives sexual pleasure from the objects in the place of his/her religion is overwhelmed with the guilt that such behavior is sinful, especially if the religion in which they practice has very strict rules on sex.

Sthenolagnia is a fetish that refers to those who derive sexual arousal from muscularity, or demonstrations of strength.  This fetish is enjoyed by both men and women, but its primary focus is on muscular women.

Sthenolagnia is a fetish that usually involves muscular growth of a woman. Most female muscle growth (FMG) fetishists are incredibly turned on by female body building. FMG fetishists often have fantasies that are much more than just the love for women with muscles. They are aroused by images or videos depicting women who’s muscles grow at unnatural rates. Many of their fantasies include the concept of a woman’s muscles growing in size with the level of arousal.

Human-animal role play is a type of  role-playing in which one of the participants takes on the role of an animal (usually a horse, cat or dog) including the mannerisms and behaviors of that animal. Their partner takes on the role of the trainer, rider, caretaker or sometimes, breeder.

The main themes of human-animal roleplay usually involves the transformation of a human into an animal, with a focus on the actual behavior of the animal. This fetish is not to be confused with a furry fetish, it doesn’t involve furry or cartoon-like costumes. Human-animal role play, and specifically Pony Play is usually used in a BDSM context (furry fetishes usually aren’t), where the person taking on the animal role is treated sort of like a slave or a submissive and the person playing the human role is like the master/mistress.
