(Possibly NSFW) Fifty Shades of Grey leads the way for fifty shades of fetish?


Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James has women all over the world getting hot and bothered and sales at adult stores around the globe have skyrocketed, many stores completely selling out of items mentioned in the book trilogy.

BDSM paraphernalia seems to me, to be be the new "Rabbit" a woodland friend styled personal vibrator that rose to fame after being featured in THAT episode of "Sex and the City" (If you haven't seen it have you been living under a rock??!)

What Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha did did for self pleasure and exploration, E L James has done for BDSM, made it mainstream.

Whether or not E L James has created a catalyst for a new sexual revolution or not, kinky sex is now being talked about. Book clubs, mothers groups, girls nights out, Facebook pages and on twitter.
The flame has been lit under many a woman's libido and there is expected to be a population boom in 9 months time of "grey babies"

If vibrators and now BDSM are common place what will be the next big craze that will become fashionable? I have prepared a list of possibilities, some are pretty far out of left field. (I have also included BDSM for those who are unsure of the details.)


BDSM-  Is knows as the combination of two acronyms B&Dbondage and discipline, and S&M- sadism and masochism it is essentially people who use experiences of pain and power to create sexual tension, pleasure, and release. Its not all just whips, leather and being ties up. The 'mind fuck' is the key focus point. Anyone can spank but its the games that come before during and after are an intricate part of the "play"

Plushies- Fetish for soft toys (plushies) I found that there were two 'groups' of plushies...ones who just love to cuddle hold and sleep with them or ones who used them for sexual gratification buy rubbing against them or by creating specially placed holes in them or adding specifically placed appendages on them. Interesting fact, the most popular plushie is Meeko, the raccoon from Pocahontas  Depending on what series it is, they can sell for as much as $180!

FluffiesThose who like to dress as stuffed animals. The costumes are carefully chosen and once they are fluffie-fied the wearer takes on a new persona they create to go with the costume.

Sploshing- In a nut shell...super messy sex, usually with  food items. Sploshing is basically the act of playing with body chocolate on steroids.

SmokingThe fetish for watching people smoke.....explains its self really :)

FeetFoot and/or shoe fetish is apparently the most common of all fetishes it  is basically worship and/or sexual preference toward feet or shoes. many of the sites i researched on talked about foot jobs ( a hand job using feet) I think i got ripped off here, many foot fetishists are insistent on their partner having frequent professional pedicures....I dont think i would mind that at all!

Feeders/gainers- People who like their women and men BIG and enjoy feeding them up and watching them gain weight. Some feeders are very scientific in recording their "results" by regular weighing ins and measurements being taken and recorded....Much like the Biggest Loser backwards.   

Infantilism(also includes diaper fetish) dressing and acting as an infant.

Anime porn/fetish (hentai)- Sexually explicit or pornographic comics and animation (usually of Japanese origin) Japanese origin such as anime, manga and computer games

Latex- Latex and rubber come under the same  heading, dressing in and feeling rubber/latex is sexually gratifying 

Voyeurism/exhibitionism- Watching/ being watched in sexual situations or otherwise, some like to watch or be watched whilst performing mundane tasks.

Water sports/scat- Wee play (weeing on or being wee'ed on) scat is similar except replace wee with poo. 

Blood fetishes- There are HEAPS of different types, including blood letting menstrual blood and vampiric fetishes. EEEK!

Old people- Large age gaps and attraction to the elderly this is the reason why wrinkle porn is so popular 

Asphixiation (autoerotic or with help)Being strangled or suffocated with by your own doing or with help. (I'm surprised about the number of people I know personally who are open about being into this.) 

 Mummifiction- Part of bdsm play to remove power and ability to move. 

 Amputation- People who are sexually aroused by the sight of an amputation usually of a whole arm or leg. Some would like their own limbs removed and with go to drastic lengths if unable to get a medical professional to preform the medically unnecessary limb removal.

BukkakeSexual practice that features a person (usually female) being ejaculated on by several men. Gokkun is similar in which several men ejaculate into a container for the receiver to drink

BalloonsLooners are into balloons, EVERYTHING about balloons, the texture, the smell, the feel, rubbing against them for sexual release. There are those that are poppers and those who dislike the popping.  


What are your thoughts on "alternative" sexual lifestyles and fetishes becoming mainstream? 

Have you ever tried anything a bit kinky?

Have you read the Fifty shades of grey books? (Care to share your thoughts? Read Where's My Glow's take on E L James' bestsellers here)


(Remember you can leave a comment under an alternative name if you are feeling a bit shy!)

  1. BDSM is combination of three interlinking acronyms, the middle two are Dominant/Submissive. But I think 50 Shades showed such a watered down version that people who now think they're in to BDSM will get a MASSIVE shock if they try to find video/images of it ;-)

    I think if people started talking openly about what they find arousing it would turn out that a lot of people like so called kinky stuff if the amount of websites dedicated to them is anything to go by.

    1. You learn something every day! I didn't know about the 3rd acronym. Thanks :)

      If anyone wanted to read a less "watered down" BDSM novel the only other one I could suggest is the "Beauty" series by Anne Rice (The claiming of sleeping beauty, Beauty's punishment and Beauty's release)


      Definitely agree on people talking openly, everyone has a kinky desire of some sort. I'm just curious about which one will be next to hit the mainstream and become "socially acceptable" (for want of a better term.... Little Madam is currently talking to me about cake so my brain is a bit focused on cake now...lol)

  2. I worked in an adult store and it all really fascinates me.
    The mumification one I find really interesting, I myself wouldn't be comfortable with it but we used to sell the black rolls of packing plastic for people who enjoyed that sort of thing.
    I thought that the bondage was beautiful and there was always a real art if you actually read the books and did it properly.
    The pain play (not so much blood - more candles) intrigues me also as we used to sell candles made of a special wax that burned at a lower heat so it would not scar if it was dropped onto your skin.
    One of those things I have never tried but maybe one day :)

  3. Glow is right on the money about it being three interlinking acronyms - bondage and discipline (B&D or B/D), dominance and submission (D&S or D/s), and sadomasochism or sadism and masochism.

    The BDSM community has been scathing of it's reviews of 50 Shades and how inaccurate and lame it is and as with anything, they suggest anyone looking to really "get into it" to research it properly rather than just go off the "fantasy" of a middle aged woman who admits to doing hardly any research on the topic herself.

    The Book of O [or The Story of O] could be a decent starting point for someone wanting to explore something a bit more hardcore in regards to BDSM than 50 Shades!

  4. Ha! *wrinkle porn*! Not that I give much thought to this stuff (also some people's ideas of turn on are kind of vomitous- I mean, *poo*!!) somehow I think there's a couple not there. 'Dogging' is the thing I keep hearing about from the UK- people go to specific haunts to either have or perve on display sex in cars. Voyeurism for the outdoorsy, automotive types! Also, leather should've been up there too ;) What about straight women watching gay male porn? I don't know what the name for that is? "Fag-Shag-Hagging"?

  6. When I read about Fluffies I started to think of John Wayne Gacey, the serial killer. He didn't dress up as animals, but a clown for kids. He was into some weird stuff, aside from the killing thing. Ugh

    Otherwise, this has been both educational and disturbing. All those abused stuffed animals....

  7. I do feel a bit sorry for the stuffed animals, I have to say! 50 Shades is to BDSM as McDonalds is to food!

  8. All I can say is ... the books have not much connection to reality AT ALL! nice money spinner though. ~Bella :)
