I’ve got a cluster of helium-filled balloons tied to the end of my cock right now. It’s fucking tricky getting through to the kitchen though.  
[/QUOTE]

Careful! When you cut it off, you don’t want to have the balloons and cock fly out through the window. Just think how you’d be horrifying some poor kid who found your balloons and junk.

I once saw a cock fly out a window. Didn’t bother me in the least.

I was thinking more about those release and track balloons that kids do for various class projects. And how most kids expect, when they see a balloon losing its lift, that if they find such a balloon, they’ll be able to turn in the accompanying coupon for a burger or something.

Hence the shock and horror of finding a balloon and junk, instead.

For some reason this reminds me about that old John Bobbit joke:  
An old couple are driving along behind Lorena Bobbit when she throws her husband’s severed member out the window. It lands on the elderly couple’s windshield and quickly rolls off. The man, in shock, says to his wife, “did you see the size of that bug?”

To which the old woman replies, _Yeah, did you see the size of its dick?!_

Anything involving bodily waste products. Followed by, in decreasing order of revulsion: bestiality, necrophelia, asphyxiation, flagellation, lesser S&M/bondage. Oh, and the picnic table thing sounds pretty bad too, so I’ll add that and any other kind of sex that might involve splinters.

Hey, [globophobia](http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2006/balloon-phobia-p1.php) (video link) is no laughing matter!

Okay, maybe it is.

As far as non-erotic fetishes go, how about a medical equipment fetish?

Wacky, random fetishes like that are always good for a laugh, IMHO.

I have never encountered a fetish (and believe me, I’ve encountered virtually all of them) that I couldn’t wrap my mind around theoretically, if not enjoying it in practice. But in reality, the one thing that has always turned me immediately off is cross-dressing (or “transvestic fetishism”). It’s far more common than most of the others, but I really can’t relate sexually to anything that’s feminine.
