The fetishization of "adult babies" is difficult to separate from the perverted practice of acting like a baby, which many adults enjoy and generally involves wearing diapers. The terms get complicated here. Wearing diapers would be considered a perversion, but the erotic stimulation of diapers in general, regardless of whether you wear them, turns them into fetish objects. This fetish may or may not be related to feces.
23. Piercings
Many men have fetishes for piercings, also called piquerism, and as a result, they may also enjoy body modification by piercing the skin, which some take to the extreme. I have a fetish for Prince Alberts: circular piercings that go through the head of the penis, but personally, I do not have one, which means I enjoy this fetish but do not practice the habit of piercing myself or another person for pleasure.
24. Scars
Scars are very sexy. They are related to the icon of our tough warrior culture, the rugged cowboy, the soldier wounded in battle. For some people, they are extremely exciting. These people have fetishes for scars and sometimes may choose to intentionally scar themselves to have a feature they find attractive. Not to belabor a distinction, but doing so would likely be considered a perversion of body modification. Scars as erotic stimuli are fetishes.
25. Stuffed Toys/Stuffed Animals
You will never look at your niece's stuffed animal collection the same way again. Some people get sexually aroused by stuffed toys; this fetish is actually more common than you think.
26. Balloons
I didn't think this was a real fetish until I looked it up. Balloon fetishes, which are very real, seem to be related to the tension of them popping, a tension that some find very erotic.
27. Socks
There are fetishes for practically all types of clothing, but socks and stockings undoubtedly take a second place behind underwear as the most commonly fetishized garments. Just as I love to smell a handsome guy's used underwear, some men love to smell a pair of used socks.
28. Beard/Facial Hair Fetish
You know that razors and buzz cuts have attached fetishes. Beards and body hair should be less surprising, especially these days. Beards are so sexually charged and erotically idealized among today's more scruffy gay male populations that one might forget that beards remain, technically, fetish objects.
29. Classrooms
"You've been a very naughty boy. You have to stay after class for a difficult lesson." Most of us should be familiar now with the fetishes surrounding teachers, desks, rulers, blackboards, and other classroom items. Some kinksters may explore these fetishes by replicating a classroom scenario for their own form of interrogation, torture, and role-playing.
30. Blood
With all the vampire romance and gore porn that make up the current literary and cinematic landscape, it's no surprise that blood is an increasingly popular fetish. A small amount of kinky sexual practices allow you to explore this fetish with little risk of long-term injury (piercings, spankings, etc.), but they are not without risks of transmitting HIV, hepatitis C, and other STIs. As a rule of sex and life, if you see blood, it usually means something is wrong. Therefore, blood play is a difficult fetish to explore safely. The kink community does not endorse harmful and unsafe sexual practices.
I am realizing, writing this post, that I am more of a fetishist than I thought... and you?
22. Diapers
Scars are very sexy. They are related to the icon of our tough warrior culture, the rugged cowboy, the soldier wounded in battle. For some people, they are extremely exciting. These people have fetishes for scars and sometimes may choose to intentionally scar themselves to have a feature they find attractive.
