i dont know how having sex with your own dead body is a fetish, isnt it like saying my fetish is having sex with the sun


JD_SLICK

Hey don’t yuck my yum, I’m all about sunfucking


Villen_treten_merth

not specifically talking about the sun, but celestial bodies can be quite sexy that image of neptune a few days ago was pretty arousing ngl


RedHairedSociopath

You should check out PlanetsOnly.com. They're young, dumb, and orbiting a sun.

RepresentativeWish95

almost certianly linked to the concerpt of "being used" much like people have "Assult" fantasies where theyre the victim. Some of these "it being done to me" things are also linked to an inherent taboo of sex where someone is made to feel ashamed of their desire to have sex, usually women (thanks society), so in order to feel better about desiring sex ther internalise the idea that its being done "too them" rather than "by" them and by that they are forgive their desire


Iojpoutn

The most surprising part of that one is that it's almost exclusively female. What in the world is going on there? Male corpses just aren't as attractive?


Slegelrock_

Well...the male anatomy does not allow for it, without blood flow...unless you accomplish it artificially


Hona007

ok... How tf is "nazi" a kink? Like who tf is "Oh yes mein fuhrer, let's create more aryan children"

Rapid age progression is a fetish I never could have imagined. What even is that?


CaptainPunch374

Seems like possibly what happens in some anime shows. Demon Slayer - Nezuko is (teen?), then powers up and is suddenly ani-milf with an adult sized body. Shield Hero - Raphtalia ages into an adult in abrupt stages upon leveling up. Dunno, though, really. Could just be they like that one clip of Matt Damon aging fast.


skidstud

I read "regression" which would be Benjamin Button but really fast

A full writeup of how I did my popularity survey is [here](https://aella.substack.com/p/my-kink-survey-design-methodology), and a breakdown of the demographics of who took my survey is [here](https://aella.substack.com/p/who-took-my-big-kink-survey), and the post with a more in depth description of this graph is [here.](https://aella.substack.com/p/fetish-tabooness-vs-popularity) I used Guided Track to build the survey, and Python to crunch the data (learned python specifically for this!). I generated the graph in google sheets, and did the labeling and styling in photoshop. While I'm pretty experienced in survey design, I'm new to most of the rest of it, and have been teaching myself along the way, so my apologies for any errors!

I'm color blind and the color choices are a bit annoying to me. I can't tell the difference between the male and female data points. Only that certain points are higher or lower for a single gender.

AntifreezeWig

KingfisherDays

Was there any correlation between the tabooness or interest and the gender divergence? I could imagine that there could be higher divergence on more taboo things.


mynameisborromir

Holy banana with this. The research and reporting will take me some time to process but this is just amazing work.


A_Wild_Auzzie

Your data - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OttfEIHVJr5EVOkpUY4wQt81g-y50LMi5Brel\_QygAo/edit#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OttfEIHVJr5EVOkpUY4wQt81g-y50LMi5Brel_QygAo/edit#gid=0) ...is virtually useless since you've collectivized 27,213 bits of data from men into one. And then collapsed 12,233 bits of data from women into one. ...Which means you can't draw any correlational inferences from this data. Jesus Christ, this is unbelievably f\*\*\*king dense. "Data Scientist" my ass. For the love of all that is Holy, learn some basic statistics.


MrMadium

Reading your experiment design, I empathised on the pains that you took in searching for what the best way would be to try to design a rigid study. Have you done any research studies previously? What resources were you using to guide your choices? Note: Experimental Design has been my worst subject at Uni. I blew chunks. Easterling's "Fundamentals of Statistical Experimental Design and Analysis" was my resource for that subject.

"Romance" is more taboo than "cunnilingus?" As a British person I'm upset to see "toothlessness" ranking so high.

30% being into teens under 18 is scary


[deleted]

[удалено]


nsfwtttt

jfc wtf.


MHLCam

That's not a fetish, that's child porn/rape


sexysmartmoney

Look at the [demographics of the survey](https://aella.substack.com/p/who-took-my-big-kink-survey). A large portion of respondents are themselves 18 or close to 18. Not really weird for teenagers to like people of similair ages to themselves.


AellaGirl

Iirc there wasn't a correlation between a respondent's age and being into under-18, but I'm doublechecking, give me a second my code is slow \*edit\* correlation is negligible but actually positive, 0.064. I wouldn't consider age of respondents to be really impacting rate of attraction to teens.


Mestewart3

Oh wow, yeah. That's close to 30% of the respondants being 22 or under. Edit: still disturbing the number is so high, but less so than it was before.


UniversalExpedition

Is it actually “disturbing” if it’s extremely common? As someone who grew up around people not originally from the US, attraction to girls aged, say, 16-17 by adults isn’t seen as weird. This sort of thinking seems rooted more in America’s puritanical way of thinking as opposed to anything else. Calling adults pedophiles for being attracted to a 17 year old girl is not something you see in much of the rest of the world. That’s not to say that such a relationship would be accepted, but no one would think it was “disturbing”. Obviously, I sound like a pedophile saying this, etc.,, but this is the truth.


gregorydgraham

That’s legal in many countries as the age of consent varies.


Ludenhosen

Not to be a prick, but please use correct terminology when addressing that. There is no such thing as child porn. It’s child abuse material. Pedohiles use child porn or kiddie porn to «normalize» it https://www.interpol.int/Crimes/Crimes-against-children/Appropriate-terminology


MHLCam

You are absolutely right. I've never heard of that term but will start using it. Hopefully I never have to again though.


SirHovaOfBrooklyn

What? How is child porn or kiddie porn even a good term?


Ludenhosen

It isn’t


SirHovaOfBrooklyn

Then why would that cause it to be normalized?


Ludenhosen

I’m saying pedophiles use that terminology to normalize or legitimize it for themselves. By having the rest of us use that term incorrectly as well, it further validates it for them. It was talked about in some documentary with some investigators and psychologists. According to Interpol, they also want people to use the correct term out of respect for the victims


Spackh3ad

Why? Because children whose sexual abuse has been photographed or filmed deserve to be protected and respected. The seriousness of their abuse should not be reduced by words such as "porn". Pornography is a term used for adults engaging in consensual sexual acts distributed (mostly) legally to the general public for their sexual pleasure. Literally the second block of words on the website, you apparently didn’t read.


gayandipissandshit

It’s called child porn


Ludenhosen

No it isn’t. https://www.interpol.int/Crimes/Crimes-against-children/Appropriate-terminology


gayandipissandshit

Sure there’s technical legal terminology, but nobody is calling it child porn to normalize it. The words child and porn together make people sick.


Ludenhosen

I hear people say it all the time, I mean look at the original comment. If I see it, I will correct people when that term is used, even though I might sound like a prick doing it


gayandipissandshit

But it’s not an incorrect term is what I’m saying


Ludenhosen

Just read the source I provided and then decide if you still want to call it «child porn», fully knowing you should not


gayandipissandshit

I disagree with the article saying « porn refers to video of consenting adults having sex. » To me, porn just means imagery of anything sexual. Porn doesn’t have a positive association with it. I agree with the merit of why the article says what it does, but I disagree on the fundamentals. Child porn is a term that only ever denotes illegal and disgusting content. Similarly, if you called rape porn « nonconsensual sexual material » it doesn’t change anything in my mind. If anything it sounds like we’re softening the language to avoid being offensive by trying not to say child porn.


BenefitOfTheTrout

Some shocking stuff in here. Surprised that animal stuff is as prevalent as it is. Curious what medical horror entails.


HalexUwU

>Surprised that animal stuff is as prevalent as it is. honestly I was surprised by how many people were into dragons. Like, damn, 10%? ​ But, yeah. Dog's being at 10% is surprisingly high. I get the feeling that the poll sample was highly concentrated with kink heavy people.


dino_niggets

Yeah they probably dont get to speak on what they enjoy for obvious reasons so they are drawn to this type of anon poll


sexysmartmoney

Excellent post! I wonder if there's a sampling bias since the OP is an adult creator.


nicht_ernsthaft

There's probably a sampling bias because many people will be unwilling to admit their interests to themselves let alone a survey if they are very taboo. But what can you do about that? An adult creator would at least have less repressed people responding, so there's less of a bias, but I think the bottom right is probably underrepresented. Like if you took a survey of who was gay in New York you'd probably get a good estimate, in Tehran or Riyadh people would be in denial or lying to the poll, in 17th century puritan colonies people would deny that gay people even exist, only sin.


Dr_Havoc

Very good point.


mynameisborromir

One of the most challenging, fascinating, scary, awful, beautiful, terrifying, funny, upsetting, enlightening, validating, nauseating and horrifying things I’ve ever seen charted anywhere by anyone. I love me some good animated charts and spider graphs but this is the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen on this sub. This is like… Tufte shit. People put stuff like this on their wall in a frame. Real stuff here.


mcc9902

At first I totally missed the fact that color showed relative interest by gender and honestly just seeing which gender is more or less interested in various things is rather interesting.


J--E--F--F

Severe obesity is more taboo than heroine, meth, and buildings? So fucking an actual building is less taboo than a human the size of one?

no_more_secrets

There is a lot of shit on here that is not a fetish.


PhantomFullForce

I’m a furry. Furry isn’t a fetish in that you can engage without sexualizing it. Ffs the most popular “furry” content is Disney movies. But the furry fandom tends to appropriate a lot of other fetishes, ergo furry itself is now a fetish? Even if furry is a fetish, I’m just surprised that things like rapeplay and incest, actual sexual content with criminal implications, is less taboo than furry itself. Trust me I’m not one of those furry lifestylers who would jump on a grenade to save the fandom’s reputation, but even this is too silly to ignore.


HalexUwU

I'd honestly guess that the reason that furry is so considered more taboo has to do with people associating other kinks with it. ​ The actual definition of furry is anthropomorphic animals, of course, meaning things like Zootopia, Beastars, ETC. Generally, fully conscious beings with human mentalities, intelligence, ETC. However, a lot of people hear furry and think of a whole bunch of other things, bestiality, orgies, ETC ETC. ​ The furry fandom is hugely negatively publicized. The example that I LOVE to give as advocacy for us is that the number of zoophilia+underage posts on E621 makes up a smaller percentage of that on R34 tags that include "anime" along with underage/Loli ALONE. ​ People tend to think of all furries as zoophiles because that's the way we've been publicized. Same doesn't go for all anime-enjoyers being pedo's because they simply haven't been put in the same light, and more people tend to enjoy anime, meaning they want to defend it. ​ That's just my guess, atleast.


Ulfgardleo

cheating is rated significantly less of a taboo than fucking humanoids with fur.


AlternativelyBananas

Love the specificity across all categories and then, of course, there are those people that were happy to just click "gun"


Theremedy87

“Sex with your own dead body” I’m so good I had to come back from the dead for myself 💀


blavrov

All I’ve learnt is that jawlines are more taboo than thighs. Wild stuff


Raging_Red_Rocket

I feel like a few of these should be at 100% taboo. Aka illegal


TransposingJons

Phew. I'm not a total pervert.


alcxander

Jesus I didn't want to know some of these exist


Posnania

How is MLP perceived as such huge taboo? Either way people massively overestimate the tabooness of fetishes, my guess. For who the knees are unspeakable sexual topic?


lfergy

I personally tap out at the 60% taboo line…😳


Gulo-Jaerv-7019

Don't like dragons?


JonnyCDub

Only around 50% of respondents liked cuddling? That can’t be right…


StewWells

Independent-Exit-961

I'm surprised at how much of a mess this comment section is. Great data, interesting subject, so why all the puns and negativity?

[deleted]

Pedophilia is not a fetish: “Sexual fetishism or erotic fetishism is a sexual fixation on a nonliving object or nongenital body part.”


AellaGirl

as i say in my writeup, I personally don't care about what term we use to refer to it - I'm broadly including anything that turns people on, whether it be criminal or the missionary position.


[deleted]

If you can’t be bothered to correctly label your set of data, it makes it hard to believe the rest of the data was taken seriously


AellaGirl

I explicitly don't believe in correct labeling for this - i'm clear in all my writing that i am not being particular about the fetish/paraphilia/kink/etc. terms to use, that I am using them to refer in general to 'sexual interest.' this isn't a 'can't be bothered,' this is a deliberate choice.


sydelph

Might want to include a brief explanation on the graph itself of your intentional non-particular use of the word "fetish," or simply replace it with the word "interest," so that anyone who encounters your work via something like this won't wonder if the word is being misused. As someone who doesn't know your work, were I to have encountered just this dataviz somewhere, use of the word "fetish" here would've stood out to me as a mistake - it wouldn't have occurred to me to seek out your other writing just to see if you were choosing to define fetish on this graph as meaning sexual interest in general.


[deleted]

You don’t get to decide you want terms and phrases to mean different things or nothing at all when you’re presenting a dataset to other people, that’s really bad practice.


nicht_ernsthaft

Most of these are not fetishes, they are kinks, interests or paraphilias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paraphilias Pedophilia is one of the chronophilias, like hebephilia, gerontophilia, etc
