Well this is handy! Things learned: being turned on by muscles is called Sthenolagnia, people turned on by their periods have a case of Menophilia, and Andrew McCarthy's obsession in Mannequin was just a classic case of Agalmatophilia all along! More »

Is this ever okay? We're gonna go with "no," but at the same time, we feel for this writer's dilemma: the truth is, in her situation, we'd probably do the same thing. More »

On today's episode, Tyra interviewed men who are "obsessed" with obese women. However, it seemed a lot more like a fetish than an obsession. One guest, Scott has been attracted to 400-pound women ever since he was a little boy. More »

We don't really know what to think of this video, in which one man rides on the shoulders of another hooded guy. User "Ralphmunic" has dozens of these clips uploaded; apparently, shoulder-riding is a real fetish (link NSFW). [Buzzfeed] More »

The happy fetishists at the realsneeze YouTube channel love sneezes. Allergy sneezes. Cold sneezes. "Wet" and "uncovered" sneezes especially. But there's one type they're divided on: fake sneezers. More »

The sad story of the pregnant hooker doing a brisk trade in Brisbane, Australia's pregnancy fetish has raised the question for some: just how prevalent is this proclivity? Jeanne Sager muses that, while her husband found her attractive when carrying his child, this doesn't necessarily translate: "Attracted to her because she's pregnant? Hello, McFly, she just made it with another guy and it's staring you in the face!" Well, no one said fetishes were logical, Jeanne. And by the way, a guy who could be into the idea of a woman so desperate she has to turn tricks during advanced pregnancy? That's a whole different level of pathology. [Babble] More »

As the sun rises on the debate day but sets on John McCain, one is forced to wonder: where are the racists at? And, it turns out they're at McCain-Palin rallies! Swampland's Ana Marie Cox and I aren't surprised, any more than we're surprised that Dick Morris still sucks hooker's toes, and Todd Palin might be "borrowing" Sarah's underwear. Oh, and John McCain is probably losing and wants people the fuck off his lawn, you cunt. More »

Hey, so, Moe's locked out of her house and I get to write the intro, which means it'll be less stream-of-consciousness and more... something else, I don't know I haven't had any coffee but I'm definitely less hung over than yesterday and not nearly as screwed as Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley and Secretary Michael W. Wynne who got fired yesterday because no one in the Air Force knows how to keep our nuclear technology safe or to themselves. We also parse PegNoo, talk about Crazy Dana Rohrabacher and his used underwear fetish, the Bridge to Nowhere, how to get out of nowhere, Lincoln and the syph, and how Moe is going to make her escape from Brooklyn (hint: it probably involves a bridge). All that is after the jump! More »

Yesterday's Tyra was supposed to be about "unlikely couples" who fall in love, but it ended up being about people with fetishes who happen to find one another and make it work. One of the couples featured was Eddie and Gem. Eddie, is an average-sized dude who has always been into plus-sized — or rather, morbidly obese — women, found his soul mate in Gem, who indulges his fantasy of watching her eat (carbs, in particular), and also engages in "squashing," which is when she plops down on his body repeatedly, or just lays on top of him, applying large amounts of pressure to his body with her own weight. As for Tyra herself, well, she seemed completely freaked out, but she's weird about sex even when it's at its most vanilla. Clip above. More »

Well, I mean, what were you THINKING they meant by "foot fetish"? Feather dusters and arch massage? A little light toe-suckling? That scene in Boomerang where Eddie Murphy looks down at that girl's busted pedi and loses his boner? Wherein you're like, "DUDE, so gay, right?" No way it would actually mean FUCKING A FOOT, right?
