List : Paraphilia


from here on in, every blog post i do for my label is going to have a number, so that i can keep track of the number of releases i do. Other posts i make wont have a number this is the first un numbered post.
i wanted to write a bit about perversion. the reason is: i was googling 'pervert' because gultskra artikler's new album out in august has a track on it called 'Pervie' you can listen to it here. anyway along the way. As you do, i ended up looking up Paraphilia. there is a really ace track by dopplereffekt called Plastiphilia Lyrics well i dont think that Plastiphilia is actually a valid paraphilia but its quite a good word anyhow. There are lots and lots of really good paraphilias that are actually real words. i found it incredibly interesting so i decided to do a top ten but it then turned into fifteen because there were so so many on the list.

Keswicklemon's Top Ten Paraphilias

15: Telephone scatologia: being sexually aroused by making obscene phone calls to strangers (tempting...see Lukas Moodysson's short film 'talk')
14: Dacryphilia: sexual pleasure in eliciting tears from others or oneself (i dont get any pleasure from seeing people crying but i can understand the idea..
13: Erotophonophilia: or lust murder :sexual arousal from committing (or trying to commit) murder (a bit obvious but interesting all the same)
12: Olfactophilia: sexual stimulus with smells or odors (see also Jock sniffing)
11: Plushophilia: sexual attraction to stuffed animals and/or people dressed in animal costumes
10: Erotic lactation: (also galactophilia or lactophilia): sexual attraction to human milk or lactating women (the next black toothed grin release will be related to this one)
9 : Agalmatophilia: sexual attraction to statues or mannequins or immobility (Listen to Dopplereffekt : Plastiphilia)
8 : Aquaphilia: arousal from water and/or in watery environments, including bathtubs and swimming pools (think about that next time you go swimming)
7 : Autassassinophilia: sexual arousal from staging one's own murder (see Harold and Maude)
6 : Autonepiophilia: sexual arousal from wearing diapers (everyone likes to feel safe and warm)
4 : Subligāculumophilia: sexual interest in aprons (wild! anyone want to buy a used soiled apron)
3 : Abasiophilia: love of (or sexual attraction to) people who are lame or crippled and/or who use leg braces or other orthopaedic appliances (see David Cronenberg 'crash')
2 : Knismolagnia: sexual arousal from being tickled (a personal favorite of mine)
1 : Nasophilia: sexual arousal from touching the nose of a person (its a delicate untouched and special place you just want to stick your tongue in, well some people do)

some of these are particularly interesting and i think the tickling one and the nose one are probably a joint top position but since i like noses so much i think that Nasophilia just gets it. Only just... by a nose.
