The most popular fetishes around the world (and some of the most obscure)

You know how the saying goes – different strokes for different folks. And that’s never truer than when talking about sex preferences.

Whether you’re vanilla in the bedroom or like to test your limits, there’s something that gets everyone going.

On this week’s episode of on our sex positive podcast, Smut Drop, sex worker turned comedian Lane Kwederis joins host Miri to talk about her Edinburgh Fringe show, her entry into sex work, and her journey into stand-up comedy.

Herself a fellow sex worker, Miri joins in with Lane’s game of ‘Did I Do This For Money?’ – with the host and guests swapping notes on the strangest fetishes they indulged for clients during their careers.

These include providing chewing gum for someone to swallow (don’t try this at home!), wearing a client’s wife’s underwear, and dancing to Britney Spears.

Lane’s specialty (and the subject is her show) though, is financial domination.
‘It’s people’s kink to give me money,’ she explains. ‘How else am I gonna afford the Fringe, baby?’

Listen to the episode now to find out more about it.

Not your bag? Here are the UK’s most popular kinks and fetishes, compiled using data from Joy Loves Dolls and Google search trends.

Sadism/Masochism

Most of us might be familiar with this kink, commonly called S&M. While sadism refers to inflicting pain and suffering to someone else for sexual gain, masochism is when you get sexual pleasure from your own pain, humiliation or suffering.

This type of kink gets around 10 million hits a year online.

Humiliation

Similar to the above, this is when you get sexual pleasure from being embarrassed and belittled, but it doesn’t always involve pain or violence, and can be verbal.

CBT

Like we say, this is not a coping mechanism for mental health troubles, but rather stands for cock and ball torture. This involves pain or constriction to the penis or testicles which could be in the form of genital piercing, wax play, genital spanking, squeezing, ball-busting, genital flogging, urethral play, tickle torture, erotic electro-stimulation, kneeing or kicking.

Mummification

You might not be aware of this fetish but it garners around 325,000 searches per year. It involves being wrapped in head to toe, just as mummies were, and being rendered immobile for sexual gratification.

Cuckolding

This one may be a bit more familiar with folks – it involves watching your partner have sex or be sexual with someone else. ‘Cuckqueaning’ refers to a female cuckold, as opposed to a traditional male cuckold.

Claustrophilia

Scared of being stuck in small, confined spaces? Well then you probably have claustrophobia. However, this is the opposite of that.

Claustrophilia is getting sexual satisfaction from small spaces.

Vicarphilia

Another one you might have not been aware of, and no, it’s not a strong attraction to vicars as the name might suggest.

This actually refers to being turned on by other people’s sexual conquests and living vicariously through them. It gets roughly 3.6 million hits a year.

Role play

Probably one of the most well known fetishes and is part of mainstream practice. Role play involves acting out fantasies or roles that are considered sexy to participants.

Impact play

This involves hitting or being hit with an object in a safe and consensual way. It can be for domination purposes.

Age play

This is getting sexual gratification from pretending to be a different age than you are. This might look like adults pretending to be babies or toddlers.

Whatever your kink, just make sure everyone’s on board and happy to be part of it.
