People have fetishes about anything. Some people like redheads, some people like overweight guys, some people like amputees, some people like transexuals. People can have relationships with redheads because they like the actual person, but that’s not going to stop someone from fetishizing them.

I am desperately waiting to get home from work so I can figure out what the heck you guys were talking about.

Of course, but the map doesn’t say “transsexual fetish,” as it does for lots of other kinds of people (of various races, etc.) It just says that “sex with transsexuals” is a fetish, end of story.

If you think of sex as being nothing more than a necessary biological function for the existence of our species, I suppose it might seem glitchy.

If you think of it as a profound component of human expression, however …

(Sure, it can go horribly wrong, but what human endeavor doesn’t sometimes?)

Perhaps you need to get out more.

Cripes. Ever since that movie [Crash](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115964/), Canada’s had this reputation as a land of total perverted sickos. This map doesn’t help. However, I’m here to fight that. I live in whitest Mundania. [sub]Except for the voyages to the land of BBWs…[/sub]QUOTE]  
I’m gonna guess that’s meant to be Siberia and not Canada.

Wow, D&s land is huge! I miss it there…

> Wow, who knew Middle Earth was so kinky. You see it right? The Citadel of Chastity is Barad-dur. Mount Doom is just a little bit to the SE. In the far west of the map you see a boat heading off to the Undying Lands. The Shire is in-between Odor Fetishes and Sploshing. Moria is Sensation Play. It all fits.

You know, you’ve just given me more fuel to tease you the next time I see you in person. 😉

I’ve got a smattering of green dots in some areas while a large portion of the map is vacant. Somehow\*, I have more green dots in Terra Del Solo than the Land of Mundania; however, there are more green dots outside of both areas than within both of them, and only a smattering of purple dots overall. I’ve tried and liked quite a few things, and am curious about a handful of stuff on there.

\*I say this like I had suddenly forgotten that I was a teenager at one point and in long distance relationships at other points.

There were far too many terms I didn’t want to Google, and most of my less vanilla interests were not represented, as far as I can tell (and what the heck is a strap-in? Don’t answer that; I’m going to assume they mean strap-on, so that I will not be shocked by whatever the horrible truth is.). And I was somewhat offended that the country of Hentai has only chibi, guro and futanari (pedophilia, gore and hermaphrodites, for those who are mystified - although chibi really shouldn’t be used with that meaning, it’s not correct by any usage), while Writing is represented by fiction, texting and sex blogging. That leaves an awful lot of things to be stuffed under “fiction”.
