Fetishes are often whispered about, hidden away, or misunderstood. But here’s the thing: they’re incredibly human. They reflect our imaginations, our emotional wiring, and our willingness to play with pleasure on our own terms.

We analyzed tens of thousands of story prompts from our community of story-seeking adventurers—anonymously, ethically, and with genuine curiosity. What we found is a revealing map of modern desire: rich with variety, deeply personal, and often deliciously surprising.

From the boldness of public sex to the intensity of BDSM, the vulnerability of submission to the empowering thrill of domination—this list isn’t about shock value. It’s about showing that you're not alone. Not even close.

Each fetish you’ll find here represents a pattern of longing—a recurring pulse in the collective erotic imagination. Some are tender, some taboo, some downright primal. And all of them? Perfectly valid.

So whether you spot a favorite, a curiosity, or something you’d never thought you’d be into (until now), you’re welcome here. No shame. Just stories, stats, and a whole lot of sexy data.

So, what did we find in our deep dive into desire?

Exhibitionism
There’s a unique thrill in being seen—whether it’s a cheeky flash or a daring display, it’s about turning vulnerability into power.
Public Sex
When the bedroom walls feel too confining, a hint of danger adds spice. It’s not just sex—it’s performance art with an audience of possibility.
Voyeurism
Watching can be just as intoxicating as doing. For some, desire lives in the shadows—quiet, observant, and undeniably aroused.
Group Sex
Why stop at two? With more hands, lips, and bodies, this is connection turned up to eleven—and then some.
Oral Sex
A classic favorite, and for good reason. It's intimate, generous, and delightfully messy in all the right ways.
Rough Sex
It’s not about harm—it’s about heat, passion, and a safe space to let go and get primal. Think control, not chaos.
Anal
Taboo? Perhaps once. But for many, it’s a delicious detour with its own unique pleasure map—and plenty of eager explorers.
BDSM
An elegant dance of control and trust. It’s not all whips and chains—though those can certainly be part of the fun.
Humiliation
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for some, blush-worthy embarrassment is the spark that ignites arousal.
Submission
The freedom to surrender can be deeply empowering. It’s not about weakness—it’s about trust, intention, and exquisite tension.
Threesome
Twice the pleasure, triple the chemistry. A classic fantasy that turns the dial from “intimate” to “unforgettable.”
Cuckolding
A fascinating cocktail of jealousy, thrill, and arousal. It’s about giving up control—and loving every second of it.
Bondage
Knots, cuffs, and silk ties—bondage is less about restraint and more about release. When you're tied down, the mind can truly let go.
Domination
It’s not just about barking orders—it’s leadership in lingerie (or leather). Powerful, poised, and oh-so-in-control.
Masturbation
The most personal kind of pleasure. A one-person show that never fails to satisfy—and knows all the best moves.
Teasing
It’s the build-up that makes the bang. Teasing stretches anticipation like a taut string—and plucks it at just the right moment.
Creampie
For those who find something irresistibly intimate in staying in to the very end—it’s about connection, mess, and satisfaction.
Dirty Talk
Words matter. And when used right, they can melt inhibitions, ignite desire, and turn a whisper into a full-body shiver.
Power Exchange
A delicious back-and-forth of authority and surrender. When done right, it’s balance in motion—and hot as hell.
Cheating
Fantasy is a safe place to explore the forbidden. It’s not about betrayal—it’s about that electric jolt of “we shouldn’t… but what if?”
Power Dynamics
The undercurrent of who’s really in charge can turn any scene into something charged and unforgettable.
Power Play
Whether it’s CEO and intern or queen and servant, power play thrives on contrast—roles that spark, clash, and burn.
Roleplay
A little imagination goes a long way. Whether it’s the pizza guy or a mythical elf, slipping into character can reveal a lot—especially when the costumes come off.
Size Difference
Big and small, tall and short—opposites attract in the most delightful ways. It’s all about contrast, and the creative positions it inspires.
Cunnilingus
A love letter written with the tongue. It’s attentive, giving, and best when done slowly—with plenty of enthusiasm.

Interracial
Desire knows no borders. This one celebrates attraction across cultures, skin tones, and beautiful differences—with chemistry as the common language.
Public Humiliation
It’s vulnerability turned performance—where blushes, embarrassment, and a touch of shame become thrillingly arousing.
Orgasm Control
It’s not about denying pleasure—it’s about savoring it. Stretching the moment, holding the edge, and knowing exactly when to let go.
Foot Fetish
Often misunderstood, but deeply adored. From arches to ankles, some find the feet to be an elegant and erotic frontier.
Spanking
A sting, a sound, a surge of sensation. Whether playful or punishing, it’s rhythm, tension, and cheeky pleasure—literally.
Blowjob
The classic crowd-pleaser. It’s not just oral—it’s a performance, a power play, and a delicious act of devotion.
Double Penetration
For those who love to feel full—in every sense of the word. It’s intense, advanced, and not for the faint of heart.
Face Sitting
It’s a throne, really. Bold, dominant, and a rather delightful way to demand attention.
Facial
It’s messy, primal, and for many, the perfect exclamation point to a very satisfying sentence.
Lesbian
Tender, passionate, electric—this isn’t about the male gaze, but about genuine connection between women who know exactly what they like.
Breast Play
Sensitive, sensual, and often overlooked—until it isn’t. From gentle caresses to playful bites, it’s all in the touch.
Gangbang
It’s intensity in numbers—a fantasy of total attention, absolute surrender, and overwhelming pleasure.
Taboo
It’s not about breaking the rules—it’s about dancing on the edge of them. Provocative, psychological, and deliciously forbidden.
Degradation
For those who find pleasure in being “bad,” this fetish blends shame and surrender in a safe, consensual space.
Impact Play
It’s not just about pain—it’s sensation with purpose. Thuds, slaps, and stings that awaken the skin and focus the mind.
Femdom
She’s in charge, and everyone knows it. Confident, commanding, and utterly magnetic—Femdom is a love letter to powerful women.
Cum on Face
It’s raw, visual, and undeniably intimate—a bold act that says, “we really went there.”
Body Worship
Every curve, crease, and corner is adored. This is about deep reverence—less lust, more devotion (but still very hot).
Pregnancy
The ultimate symbol of fertility becomes a sensual playground. It’s nurturing, radiant, and ripe with erotic energy.
Cum Play
Sticky, slippery, and boldly unfiltered. It’s about celebrating the mess, not cleaning it up.
Orgasm Denial
It’s not cruel—it’s clever. Withholding pleasure can heighten it tenfold, making the final release all the more explosive.
Mind Control
Fantasy with a twist—where power isn’t taken by force, but by suggestion. It’s hypnotic, surreal, and strangely sexy.
Age Gap
Whether it’s the allure of experience or the thrill of youth, age-gap fantasies are fueled by contrast—and curiosity.
Seduction
The slow burn before the fire. A brush of the hand, a look held a moment too long—seduction is the art of not rushing.
MILF
Confident, experienced, and completely in control of her pleasure. MILFs are the queens of sensual self-assurance.
