List of Fetishes

This list of fetishes is intended to help users understand terms found in the description of scenes. It is not intended as an exhaustive list of stuff that turns people on.

It is recommended that the user use the search function of a browser to comb through the list and find a sought after fetish. In many cases, a fetish will direct the user to a category where a list of movies containing depictions of said fetish can be found (usually quite prominently).

What Goes Where

While people can be attracted to the way a penis goes into a vagina (and those are listed as sex positions), others are attracted by other objects or parts of male or female anatomy going into a number of different orifices.

• A2M: An acronym for "ass to mouth", this indicates that a participant takes a penis or a strap-on dildo from another participant's anus and places it in the first participant's mouth for oral sex. P2M ("pussy to mouth") is sometimes used to indicate the same but going from the vagina to the mouth but it is so common as to be rarely denoted.

• Anal: This indicates the penetration of the anus. This is usually a penis going into an anus, but toys (see the toys entry for more information) can be used as well for anal sex.

• DP: An acronym for "double penetration". This indicates that a participant is penetrated simultaneously by two others. In most cases, this is used to indicate a woman receiving a penis in her vagina and another in her anus, but other variations exist. DPP ("double pussy penetration") is sometimes used to indicate the practice of a woman receiving two penis simultaneously in her vagina. DAP ("double anal penetration") can be used to denote a scene in which two participants penetrate another participant's anus simultaneously.

• Fingering: This is used to indicate a scene in which fingers were used to penetrate the vagina or the anus. This is usually used only when the penetration lasted for some time and, most often, when it is the only penetration at that time. When a finger is used to stimulate a participant during vagina, anal or oral sex, it is not necessary to use this tag.

• Oral: Oral sex is hardly a fetish, but since it can be something a user may look for specifically in a scene, it is listed here for convenience. This, most often, denotes fellatio, but cunnilingus or anilingus could also be described by this label. A oral only tag is sometimes used to indicate a performer only practiced oral sex in a scene. See also the A2M entry.

• Toys: Sex toys are common accessories in porn. Dildos, strap-on, butt plugs, beads, aneros, vibrators and cock rings all fall in this category. Those can be used on the ass, on the vagina, on the cock or in the mouth. Gags are usually featured in BDSM scenes (see the bondage entry for more information). A more comprehensive list can be found here.

• Vaginal: The opposite of a fetish, the penetration of a vagina is supposed to be the vanilla of sex acts. Currently, however, there is no guarantee at all that vaginal sex will be part of a sex scene, so it is appropriate to use this tag to indicate when it occurs. This can be used appropriately to describe a penis going into a vagina, but also may indicate a toy (see the toys entry for more information) going into a vagina.

BDSM

Domination and submission games are very common in porn. A large parcel of porn features some level of rough treatment of one or more of the participants. Here are some specific fetishes that may attract viewers in a scene.

• Bondage: The restricting of a participant's movements with a velvet rope, cuffs, chains, ropes, adhesive tape or even plastic can be found in a large number of porn features. It is a classic fetish and use in a number of scenes even in non-specific movies. Bondage often involves accessories and, in addition, to classic restraints, gags (ball gags, bits and others) are often used.
• Hair Pulling: A common feature of rough sex (even lightly rough sex), this can be featured prominently in some scenes. It is a form of domination and most often used on a woman. If it is a single, gentle tug in the middle of a sex scene, it is usually unnecessary to denote it with this tag.
• Spanking: A couple of slaps on buttocks or a long session of spanking using a hairbrush. Spanking can take a variety of forms. Some movies simply use a little spanking for spice while there are others that are entirely dedicated to spanking. Sometimes with no sex at all featured, just one or more naked participant being spanked. If a hand, a hair brush, a shoe or a cane is used, all could fall under this category.
• Spitting: While saliva is often used as a lubricant in sex scenes (at least performers pretend it is so), this tag indicates spitting used to assert dominance. It is not unusual for a dominant participant to spit on a submissive participant's face during a BDSM scene. Spitting can also be directed to another's open mouth (and at times it is returned to the initiator or passed on to another submissive participant).

Number of Participants

• Gangbang: This label is used to describe a scene in which one participant has sex with a large number (usually more than three) of other participants. Most commonly a group of males (the gang) has sex with a single female or male. Some movies use the term reverse gangbang to describe scenes in which a single male has sex with a large number of females. Some movies also feature a single female with a strap-on having sex with a large number of other females and also describe those scenes as gangbangs.
• Orgy: Scenes featuring more than four participants are often classified as orgies or as gangbangs (see the gangbang entry for more detail). Orgies usually feature more than one couple having sex simultaneously, while gangbang most often describes a scene in which a single individual has sex with a large collection of other individuals but those do not have sex between them.
• Threesome: Movies will mention threesome or foursome when sex acts featuring three or four participants are involved. More than that is usually classified as an orgy (see the orgy entry for more information). This label may be used to indicate female-female-male or female-male-male scenes, it is unusual to use to describe female-female-female or male-male-male scenes, although it would be appropriate too.

Fluids

The male ejaculation (sometimes called the money shot) is quite commonly the climax of a sex scene. Where and how it lands can be a matter of fetishes. Female ejaculation (called squirting) is rarely the closing element of a scene, but can be a subject of fetish too. Finally, all manner of stuff coming out of a sex performer can be listed here.

• Creampie: In porn movies it is the exception rather than the norm that a male ejaculates inside his partner. When it happens and when the scene is shot in such a way to display part of the semen leaking out of the receiver, it is called a creampie. Both vaginal and anal variants exist. Note that a performer taking an ejaculation wholly in the mouth is not a creampie.
• Facial: If one of the participants takes an ejaculation on the face (and not fully inside the mouth) it is usually described with this tag.
• Milk Squirting: This label denotes the practice of introducing milk (or a white-colored liquid) into a performer's vagina or anus and then having the performer propel it back out (often in a jet).
• Snowballing: This indicates a situation in which a performer takes sperm into the mouth and than passes it to another performer's mouth. This can be from one female to another in a threesome (see the threesome entry for more information) and sometimes it is a performer returning the sperm to the mouth of the one who ejaculated it.
• Squirting: Female orgasm is generally fully internal. Some women, however, project fluids out of their vagina when they climax. This is called squirting in the porn industry. Several movies feature women squirting and some porn stars become renowned for it.

Other

• Bald: In a scene, this usually indicates that a female has no hair on her pubis (her crotch) nor on her labia. It is a common fetish. For a variant, see the entry for hairy below.
• Gaping: The practice of close in with the camera on a stretched asshole is increasingly common in porn. Many film boxes feature 'gaping' as a prominent label. Sometimes participants use fingers to stretch a performer's anus for better gaping.
• Hairy: In a scene, this usually indicates that a female has a lot of hair on her pubis (her crotch) and may or may not have pubic hair on her labia. Note that precisely shaved hair in a line, a triangle or some other design, if short and well delineated does not fit into this fetish.
• Teen: A classic fetish, this indicates the participation of a performer with a youthful appearance. Sometimes, this may be enhanced by clothing that enhance the appearance of youthfulness such as schoolgirl clothes, pigtails or other. It is not unusual for the performer to state her age to indicate she is both above the legal age and still under twenty.
• Uniform: A very common fetish is for a performer to dress in an uniform and pretend to be of a profession. Policeman and women, firemen, doctors and nurses are extremely common. Some may consider schoolgirl (a classic fetish) to be an uniform too, even if it has no standards and is not associated to a profession. Less common ones are clown, ballerina, ringmaster, fighter pilot and many many more.
