In the sexy new book Deviant Desires, a researcher explores sexual fetishes and kinks in all their vast and complex forms. BuzzFeed explains, “At the center of the book is her ‘kink map,’ a visual outline as complex as the human psyche which connects every kink from feet fetishes to superhero bondage.” Here’s a sneak peak into the nature of the erotic imagination.

1. Foot fetish
   This is the most common kink—so common in fact that loving feet is not even considered that “kinky” anymore. One lesser known subset involves people who are into “gas pedal pumping,” or getting off on watching their partner “pump” the gas pedal.
2. Ponyplay and Critter Play
   “Ponyplay is a variation of BDSM in which one partner takes on the role of horse and the other takes on the role of trainer. There are few rules to the play, but in general the horse may not speak or use their hands.” Neigh-ty!
3. Balloon Fetish
   These fetishists, also known as looners, get off on a combination of the smell and feel of latex and the excitement of a balloon popping. “Balloon fans may enjoy watching their partners orally inflate them, or they may want to pop the balloons in a variety of ways using other core kinks such as cigarettes or feet. Partner play can involve bouncing on large balloons.” Kinky!
4. Macrophiles
   Macrophiles like to fantasize about extreme sizes between partners—like a 50-foot woman and a normal sized man, or a tiny woman and an ordinary sized man. Basically, it’s an imaginative form of extreme power play.
5. Trample and Crush
   This is a variation of footplay, where the fetishist wants to be “crushed” or trampled under feet while orgasmically “exploding under the pressure.”
6. Wet and Messy, or WAM
   These kinksters like to play with their food, literally. WAM involves gooey, liquid substances being poured over the body—things like mud, baked beans, or pies.
7. Superheroes in Bondage
   This BDSM superhero fantasy involves wearing spandex costumes and roleplaying. It’s primarily found in the gay male kink community.
