Abstract in brief

  • This study aimed to find out how common different fetishes are by analyzing online discussion groups, estimating that at least 5,000 people were involved.
  • The most common fetishes involved body parts or features and objects related to the body, especially feet; preferences for other people's and one's own behavior were also notable.
  • The study used three different measures to ensure consistency, and found that preferences for specific body parts and objects are the most prevalent, providing valuable new data in an area with little prior research.

@NuriMcBride My piece was about dendrophilia, deriving sexual arousal from trees and plants. (The study I quoted was about the relative prevalence of different fetishes.) So no, hardly any sex toy in sight - dunno, maybe if you count sticks & branches
