No libido=dead? Really? There are other things in life besides sex, you know.

Braaaaaains…

Is my mind full of sewage or did some _other_ people read the first item on that list and assume the OP was leading off with “having sex with dead people”?

Necrophilia/cannibalism is definitely the top of the list IMO…

Wow. Your med school had much better visual aids than mine did.

1. Dead. Either by having a non-functioning libido or literally dead.
2. Asexual - being aroused by yourself and only masturbating.
3. Viewing Pornography
4. Any sexual orientation towards the same or opposite sexes/Sodomy
5. BDSM/Simulated Rape/Consensual Torture/Vampirism
6. Voyeurism (i.e. actually seeing people get it on live, not thru media)
7. Bukkake.Exhibitionism/Making Pornography (if it’s a genuine turn on, not for money)
8. Incest (unless covered by something lower)
9. Scat/Vomit
10. Bestiality/Necrophilia (if it doesn’t involve murder)
11. Molestation/Groping/Forced Exposure/Trench Coat Flashing/Pedophilia
12. Real Rape/Real Torture
13. Murdering for Pleasure

I put two above 1 because as the saying goes, if you don’t feel dirty it’s not right 🙂 I also put pedophilia with 10 because I consider the ick factor to be about equal to forcing genital contact on someone of age who is factually nonconsenting.

I think from that map I am the vanilla sea… 😉

I think necros are pretty perverted.

Two necropheliacs are walking by a funeral home and one says to the other, “Wanna stop in for a cold one”? :smack:

Question–is the incest in question consensual? I was thinking that incest would be way worse than bestiality but if by incest you mean something like two siblings having sex and both being of sound mind and able to consent without coercion, that’s different. Some might argue that power differentials make incest problematic for the most part–like, is a father having sex with his adult daughter really okay?

The Something Awful Fashion SWAT guys came up with this gem when talking about a fictional character: (paraphrasing) “At this point, he can’t have an orgasm unless a sentient being dies; and they have to _know_ they’re being killed solely for his sexual gratification.”

Well now I’m going to be up all night googling words to find out what they mean.

And I thought I was pretty sex-lingo savvy…

This map has its own thread now, if anyone wishes to follow it and avoid hijacking this thread further.

I’m sitting right about a 6. I’ve dabbled in bukkake, but can’t say I’ve done much of it/liked it much. I have made porn (though I still have the tape; it was for personal use) and I have intentionally walked around naked with the windows open for the hot guy across the parking lot. When I was young and nubile… and he was very well hung…

1. Everything Consensual not otherwise noted - straight, gay, vaginal, oral, anal, threesomes, it all goes here.
2. Vanilla Porn (i.e. porn not tied to later listed paraphilias)
3. Fetishes of the leather/shoes/rubber/corset variety
4. Exhibitionism/Voyeurism/Pegging  
5)Bukkake & extreme gangbangs (roughly \> 3:1 ratio)
5. Hardcore BDSM (i.e. not the tying with silk scarves/mild spanking/blindfold variety)
6. Ephebophilia/Consensual Incest
7. Infantilism - diaper-play etc./Bestiality/Fat fetishism/Crushing/Giantism
8. Anything involving piss, shit, pus, vomit or non-menstrual blood/Necrophilia/Vore
9. Everything non-consensual

Personally, I rate a 7 on my “shit I find morally & aesthetically acceptable” meter.
