Reader Feedback on "My Ten Favorite Fetishes"
your comments on peanut butter, reminded me of a young couple who lived below me in the 1960's. They decided to cover his penis and her vergina with orange marmalade. So far so good. The problem arrived when the reached penetative sex and her natural juices, the friction and the marmalade created a glue.They were taken to the hospital on one stretcher

As to your comments on bearded men fetish, as far as I am aware, no one ever said that women's choices were based primarily on the ability to reproduce. In fact that would be evolutionarily absurd. All me have to do is produce sperm. If they can't do that, she can't get pregnant from them so who cares? Being attracted based on the ability to reproduce is men's area, and reasonably so. Women do all the work. Second, no one, so far as I am aware, used evolutionary grounds to explain individual fetishes. Sorry, your argument is absurd.

Is it still called a "-philia" if it isn't a sexual fetish? I love being in small, enclosed spaces. I find it comforting and secure but don't get aroused by it. Do I have claustrophilia?

Re formicophilia - it's a bit smug to say that someone "actually" thought it might be about Formica - especially because the guesser was (in a way) right. Formica is named for formic acid, which is secreted by ants. Also, if this fetish is about insects more generally, the meaning must have generalized from an original focus on ants - rather than ants being just an example of it.

Apotemnophilia doesn't actually seem to be a fetish. there was a really cool New yorker piece on it a few weeks ago.
