The average person under 30 in the United States has sex over twice per week. That’s about 112 times per year.

When you’re having that much intercourse, it’s pretty common for things to get stale after a while. After all, there’s only so many times that you can hang out in a missionary position and still feel like you’re enjoying Sexual nirvana.

For those bored people, Fetishes tend to be a go-to to spice things up.

Fetishes are basically things that create additional arousal. They range widely from person to person and many people do what they can to keep their fetishes under wraps.

If you’re curious to know what the most common secret fetishes are out there, you’ve come to the right place. Below, we pull back the Sexual Fetishes curtain!

1. Katoptronophilia

Katoptronophilia is basically a mouthful of a term that means having sex in front of a mirror. A more common offshoot of this sexual fetish favorite is having sex on video so you can play it back later.

If you’re more of a live theater kind of person and less of a VHS-lover, katoptronophilia might be a more rewarding experience for you than recording yourself.

Curious to try this fetish out? Set the biggest mirror you can find by your bed and see if looking at you and your partner adds to your arousal.

2. Anililagnia

This is a pretty mainstream fetish. It means men that are attracted to much older women.

So, if you’ve ever found yourself attracted to cougars or found yourself digging through naked mom pics, you’ve probably been bitten by the anililagnia.

We’re not here to judge! Moms and older women are definitely gorgeous!

3. Voyeurism

Here are creepy sexual fetishes pick that we’ve seen dramatized on Netflix in the last few years… Voyeurism.

Voyeurism is when you get off by watching other people have sex… Without them knowing.

We do not recommend or advocate this but we’d be lying if we told you that this act doesn’t happen.

Voyeurism is usually conducted via hidden cameras set up in hotel rooms or other private places.

Want to play around with your voyeurism flame without committing a felony? There are websites that dramatize you looking in on people getting hot and heavy where the people you’re seeing are actors and have consented to be filmed.

4. Pictophilia

Speaking of websites, tons of people get in the mood by watching pornography. The technical term for that fetish is pictophilia.

Pictophilia is perhaps the most common of the sexual fetishes on our list and in most circles, it’s not stigmatized.

There are plenty of paid and free places where you can get your pornography fix. Just make sure that the websites you frequent feature purely adult performers or you could be charged with a felony.

5. Agalmatophilia

Agalmatophilia is a sexual fetish that has been the punchline of a ton of jokes in the 21st century. It’s when people are sexually aroused by dolls.

Look no further than South Park to get a good laugh from high jinks involving sex dolls.

What a lot of people don’t know is that agalmatophilia actually extends beyond blow up dolls. It also encompasses sexual arousal from manikins and statues.

6. Psychrophilia

We’re willing to bet that you haven’t heard of this sexual fetish because honestly, it’s pretty niche. Psychrophilia means being aroused by the cold.

You read that right, being turned on by freezing your butt off.

That sounds pretty counter-intuitive but for whatever reason, this sexual fetish definitely has a following.

To add more oddness to the mix, if you’re into psychrophilia, you don’t even have to be the one that’s cold to get your jollies. You also get turned on by watching other people freeze.

7. Podophilia

We’re going back to familiar ground with this sexual fetish classic! Feet!

We all know somebody that’s attracted to feet… Or maybe you don’t. Maybe our team here just has a lot of weird friends.

Feet attractions can be spurred by looking at feet, touching them, smelling them, sticking them in your mouth or by using feet instead of hands to perform a litany of lewd acts.

Turned on yet?

No? Oh well, we tried.

If it makes you feel any better Quintin Tarantino has long been rumored to be a podophile.

8. Stigmatophilia

Rounding out our sexual fetishes list is none other then stigmatophilia, an extreme attraction to tattoos and piercings.

Have you ever looked at someone with a tattoo and thought that it was so hot that you’d like to explore the rest of the person’s body? If so A) You’re not alone and B) You might be a stigmatophile.

Stigmatophilia is a pretty common fetish that is definitely not stigmatized in American society so fly your stigmatophile flag high if this sexy tick is your jam.
