fetish

Tattoo Fetish

A fascination with tattoos and tattooed bodies, where the art itself or the act of getting inked becomes a source of intense arousal and desire.

fetish

Teratophilia

A fetish or romantic fixation on monsters, mutants, and other nonhuman or visibly monstrous beings, where the creature's difference is the source of desire rather than something to overlook. In romance and erotica it covers everything from minotaurs and demons to aliens and beast-shifters who keep their inhuman form.

fetish

Transformation Fetish

A fetish in which the turning of a character's body into something else (often an animal, object, statue, or inanimate form) is itself the erotic charge, rather than a stop on the way to a more conventional payoff.
