22 Terrifying Sexual
Fantasies That Must Be
Talked About
Feeling kinky? Memorize SSC and RACK.
SSC stands for “Safe, Sane, and Consensual.”
RACK stands for “Risk Aware Consensual
Kink.” Your sex play must meet these
requirements — no exceptions.

Not every fantasy or fetish is safe, legal, or


right to act upon. “Safe, Sane, and
Consensual” was the universal safety mantra
until we admitted that some acceptable sex
practices are implicitly not “safe,” although
their risks can be alleviated by playing
smartly. Then RACK — “Risk Aware
Consensual Kink” — was coined.

Are you interested in fisting, suspension


bondage, gut-punching, ball-busting, or
heavy BDSM? That’s fine. You can do these
things as long as you do them consensually
and fully prepared for the risks. SSC and
RACK draw a hard line at consent. You’re not
allowed to cross this line. Ever. You may
never do anything to anyone without their
permission. While these rules sound obvious,
they exist for a reason. There are many
terrifying fetishes in the world — fetishes
that fall far outside these limits. Acting on
them will land you in prison, hurt you, hurt
others, or worse.

These need to be talked about because they’re


real and many people have them. Knowledge
is power — talking about them keeps
everyone safer. Browse these 22 terrifying
fantasies that you need to be aware of.

A word of warning from


Alex Cheves.
My name is Alexander Cheves, and I am
known by friends in the kink and leather
community as Beastly. I am a sex-positive
writer and blogger. The views in this
slideshow do not reflect those of The
Advocate and are based solely o" of my own
experiences. Like everything I write, the
intent of this piece is to break down the
stigmas surrounding the sex lives of gay men.

Those who are sensitive to frank discussions


about sex are invited to click elsewhere, but
consider this: If you are outraged by content
that address sex openly and honestly, I invite
you to examine this outrage and ask yourself
whether it should instead be directed at those
who oppress us by policing our sexuality.

For all others, enjoy the slideshow. And feel


free to leave your own suggestions of sex and
dating topics in the comments.

1. Autoerotic asphyxiation.
MedicineNet.com states that around 1,000
Americans annually find loved ones dead of
self-inflicted autoerotic asphyxiation. These
deaths are rarely seen as suicides. Most are
simply dangerous acts of self-pleasure gone
wrong.

When you cut o" oxygen to your brain, the


result can be a euphoric high. Some attempt
this during masturbation — with rope, cords,
and plastic bags over their heads. Doing so is
deadly. It’s easy to pass out, su"ocate and die.

The most famous case of autoerotic


asphyxiation is the 2009 death of David
Carradine, who played the title character in
Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volume 2.
Carradine was found dead in his Bangkok
hotel room. Although his death was
immediately assumed a suicide, two separate
pathologists later ruled that it was accidental.
Shortly after, two of his former wives came
forward and said Carradine was into self-
bondage — another dangerous fetish. Never
do bondage solo.

Kinksters (kinky people) know the risks of


breathplay. As a kink, it should only be done
sober and with someone else. If you’re
interested in gas masks and the sexy
accoutrements of breathplay (cigars, rubber,
etc.), you can be one of those healthy, happy
kinksters who enjoy it.

2. The fetish for


disfigurement and/or
permanent bodily injury.
Some submissives get turned on at the
thought of being permanently disfigured by
their dominants.

If consent is given, are you allowed to injure


or disfigure someone? No. The law will not
be understanding. We don’t pardon people
who intentionally, permanently injure
someone else — even if it was done with the
other person’s consent.

3. The fetish of ripping off


your d*ck.
Ederacinism is the fetish practice of ripping
o" your c*ck and b*lls. Some opinions on the
internet, professional and nonprofessional,
say this is less of a fetish and more of a sexual
impulse done as the result of intense sexual
shame. Some folks feel the urge to manually
remove what they perceive to be the source
of their “sinful” sexual impulses (which is not
your genitalia — it’s your brain). The result is
a bloody, self-castrating mess.

If you’re struggling with shame for your


desires and have contemplated ederacinism,
seek a therapist.

4. The fetish of becoming an


amputee.
Acrotomophilia is sexual attraction to
amputees and is actually common among
fetishes. A more concerning fetish is
apotemnophilia — the desire to become an
amputee. If the fantasy of losing your lower
leg turns you on, contact your nearest
psychiatrist.

5. Bug chasing.
Bug chasing is when an HIV-negative person
seeks HIV. “Bug chasing” is Grindr speak — a
casual phrase for a heavily tabooed practice.

I’m HIV-positive. I have been approached by


many men who’ve asked me to “poz” them.
When this happens, I say no — for two
reasons.

The first: HIV criminalization laws are


severe, and no jury is going to believe
someone asked to be infected, even if it’s true.
These laws exist because of widespread
cultural pozphobia and an outdated legal
system, one which refuses to understand the
modern reality of HIV. We easily criminalize
HIV-positive folks while those who willfully
and consensually play with us get an
automatic free pass.

The second reason: I have an undetectable


viral load, so I have almost no chance of
spreading my virus, even if we bareback for
hours.

Many sexperts say bug chasing is formed out


of fear of HIV, an o"shoot of pozphobia
itself. When the fear gets too paralyzing, we
reason, folks develop a fetish for getting it —
to alleviate the fear.

HIV is now a manageable illness and hardly


warrants paralyzing fear. I will attest to such.
But there is a line, however murky, between
eroticizing risky sex and eroticizing the virus
that may come as a result of it. Self-
destructive behavior may sound fun, but
make sure you are eroticizing the behavior,
not the self-destruction. The latter leads
down a dark road, one I’ve seen many folks
get lost on.

6. The fetish for groping


people in crowded places.
Frotteurism is the fetish of touching
strangers in a crowded place, like on public
transportation. Most folks know this as
“groping,” which is nonconsensual and
doesn’t pass SSC or RACK. Not OK.

7. The fetish for touching


someone while they sleep.
Somnophilia is erotic arousal from intruding
on a stranger sleeping or waking someone up
by touching them sexually. Consent cannot be
given when someone is asleep, so acting on
this impulse falls far outside SSC and RACK.
This is molestation and sexual abuse — plain
and simple. It can be deeply scarring to
people. Don’t do it.

8. The fetish for pubescent


children.
Hebephilia (di"erent from pedophilia, see
number 11) is the sexual attraction to children
between the ages of 11 to 14, the general age
of puberty. Children cannot consent to sex as
minors. You’re not allowed to have sex with
kids. Period. This is a serious criminal
o"ense.
