Victorian physician Albert Haye, who wrote The Science of Life, described spermatorrhoea as “the most dire, excruciating and deadly maladies to which the human frame is subject”. Whatever the reason, Barbara Carrella, a certified sexologist and author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century, says a DIY sex toy (which she calls a pervertible) is never far: “Pervertibles are every day, non-erotic items that can be easily converted into sex toys. They can be found absolutely everywhere, and once you start finding them, it’s hard to stop seeing the erotic potential in all sorts of everyday items.”

George Drysdale was the fourth son of the city treasurer and Tory leader on Edinburgh council, Sir William Drysdale. George’s mother, Lady Drysdale, moved in literary and scientific circles. In around 1835, George discovered masturbation — known as his ‘secret shame’— and at the age of 15 was indulging in the habit 2-3 times a day for about a year. He became increasingly convinced that his wanking would lead to a mental and physical breakdown. When he went to Glasgow University in 1841, he began to have wet dreams (or nocturnal emissions), and he became terrified that he was heading towards madness,” Dr Woolf said.Masturbation for men has always had a difficult history, dogged by shame and embarrassment. “Self-love” was seen as an ultimate evil, but beyond the moralistic arguments, many physicians thought every orgasm drained a man’s energy. As I'm sure many of you guys have already discovered, that means the majority of the contents of your refrigerator, cabinets and most of your personal belongings can be masturbatory tools. Depending on whether you like to “give” or “receive,” the list below is for the penetrators of the residence. The obsession with gloves and attraction to the hands mostly begin in one’s childhood. Some girls get fascinated with latex opera gloves, but no matter your sexual orientation or your age, you may have this obsession with a pair. In the eyes of the Victorian-era doctors, there was only way to stop the spread of “spermatorrhoea”: men needed to stop masturbating. It was as simple and as complicated as that. Jiz brings up a fabulous point that many people might not consider—being able to remove gloves gives you a clean slate.

Manufacturers rushed to construct horrific devices as doctors tried to cure their patients of what was known as the male version of female “hysteria”. Why all the fuss? While it’s widely agreed today that masturbation doesn’t have any dangerous side effects, in the 19th century it was seen as a serious threat to mental and physical health. Perhaps you love the way gloved hands feel as they stroke your lips down to your most private region or just prefer the sight of your partner’s hand wrapped in latex. And if you can’t resist putting your hands into a pair during sex, then you are a fetishist. Cheirophilia or hand fetishism is closely related to glove fetishism, so don’t be surprised if you are so crazy about rubber glove-covered hands that gracefully move. According to Dr Woolf, the word spermatorrhoea was originally coined by French physician Claude-Francoise Lallemard to describe involuntary seminal loss, usually via “nocturnal emissions” (again, wet dreams!) It was basically the word for the male version of female “hysteria”. Take a large cucumber, squash, watermelon, honeydew, or cantaloupe, cut a hole to fit your erection in one side, and a smaller opening the size of a pencil in the other. Hollow out the inside to fit your circumference and then screw the squishy goodness. You can place your finger over the small hole and remove it to adjust the draw to simulate the effect of getting a blowjob. An honest and/or brave man might confess to dabbling in the occasional sport of self-love. This confession would undoubtedly unleash a diagnosis of “spermatorrhoea”— a so-called “illness” that sparked an influx of anti-masturbation devices that looked exactly like penis torture chambers.Gag warning: Emetophilia is a sexual fetish in which one gets aroused by vomit. Yes, it's real, and it’s more common than you think. A lighter version of emetophilia may play out as finding it a turn-on if someone gags during a blow job. A higher octave version is simply getting wet for puke. 27. Klismaphilia Married men were warned by doctors to limit the amount of sex they were having, and unmarried men were urged to conserve their “essence” by avoiding sex altogether, particularly masturbation. Spermatorrhoea was believed to be a serious medical condition causing blushing, crying, breathlessness, melancholy and sensitivity. Masturbation was the primary cause, and impotence was the result. Spermatorrhoea was a popular diagnosis between 1830s and 1860s but then became unfashionable and rare,” Dr Woolf said. Vorarephilia is the infamous cannibal kink. It means getting turned on by fantasies of eating someone, and the subject has made headlines this year due to the sexual assault allegations against actor Armie Hammer. Ejaculation was seen as a sexual dysfunction, and because semen was seen as a man’s “vital heat”, spermatorrhoea was believed to lead to frightening bodily effects.

As for dental dams, they're most commonly used for performing oral sex on a vulva, but that's not their only use.Peel it and remove the fruit or cut the tip off and squirt the inside out, then rinse the rind with warm water and fill it with lube. Wrap the sections around your member, or shove your load into the hole, and pump. Prior to playtime you can put the skin in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up, just be careful not to leave it in too long and burn yourself. Erotic humiliation lets you reclaim embarrassment by getting off on it. "Humiliation play is a consensual power exchange that is a very typical fetish. It can help people heal parts of the self that may have been bullied as a child. There's a sense of mastery over something that may have previously been non-consensual," says Renye. 14. Spectrophilia Spectrophilia refers to having a thing for ghosts because sometimes humans aren't worth it. It usually involves the fantasy of a spirit, but sometimes people believe they actually have sex with one at night or while they sleep. Traditionally, a succubus refers to a female sex ghost, and an incubus is a male ghost that has sex with humans as they sleep. 15. Dominance and Submission

Quirofilia is one of those kinks that sounds more far-out than it is: It simply refers to an attraction to hands. Whether you go for big, hairy hands, or soft, dainty manicured ones, considering how much we use our hands during sex, it's a highly relatable kink. 22. Pregnancy Dominance and submission refer to a consensual erotic power exchange between two (or more) people. Although it may sound scary, due to consent and safety precautions kinkster engage in, a D/S scene can be safer than a vanilla hook-up. "Any time that we are talking about power control, that is the safest kind of sex that partners can have because there's so much communication, trust, and vulnerability built into these kinds of exchanges and sexual experiences," says sex therapist and author of Reclaiming Pleasure: A Sex Positive Guide for Moving Past Sexual Trauma and Living a Passionate Life Dr. Holly Richmond. 16. Autonepiophilia For those concerned about burns, opt for a candle made for sex, such as JimmyJane's afterglow massage candles. These candles burn at a lower temperature, so you can enjoy the heat on your body without worrying about causing injury. 20. Vorarephilia Whether you realize it or not, there are many situations in which knowing how to convert household items into homemade sex toys is a real plus. Maybe you’re away from home and realize you’re without your favorite sex toy; maybe things have gotten heated and you don’t have time to hunt for a vibrator; maybe you’re looking to try a new kink without investing much money. Or maybe you just want to surprise your partner (or yourself).Of course, literally killing and eating someone is wrong. However, kinks and fetishes are already stigmatized; we don't need to pathologize this one if someone is doing no harm. "It is usually metaphorically, or an embodied feeling, rather than a literal translation," Dr. Richmond says. "Partners will often say, 'I could just eat you alive I’m so turned on by you,' but that's driven by an urge to consume the energy of eroticism and arousal more than a real or uncontrollable desire to consume a part of the human body. Obviously, if it moves into a compulsion or biting in a way that is not consensual, this is dangerous, illegal, and certainly not sex-positive," she adds. Whether you are the slave or the dominant in your relationship, a pair of long latex or opera gloves will match up nicely with a sleeveless or strapless top, dress, and swimsuit. These shiny and tight rubber pairs make a nice contrast with your bare shoulder, creating a sexy silhouette. While gloves are helpful for making sure that no ejaculate reaches your genitals during manual sex, the primary benefit is that things are both clean and smooth. There are many types of fetish gloves on the market. Surgical gloves are a necessity in medical-themed scenarios where penis plugs and enemas are the favorite tools. Meanwhile, captivating lingerie gloves designed elegantly make dommes look hotter than hell.
