Egyptian woman imprisoned for 3 years for 'sexually harassing' a monkey:
Could have been worse, she could have been spanking the monkey.
Nope. Sorry Mikefule but that's simply not true anymore, it's illegal to pay people of different genders different amounts in the UK .. and the whole 'glass ceiling' argument is bollocks as well in 2019 but this conversation's a contentious one and best left for another thread or even better, a different website altogether.
Oooh, yeah, try bringing that up on Mumsnet and see what sort of reaction it provokes. Hours of fun...
Aren't there journalists who admit to making up fetishes for readers' titillation? Possibly the Sun? Or am I thinking of the Viz?
Trust me, for every journo from the Shit-sheets who thinks he's inventing a new deviant practice, there are hundreds of people out there in the real world, doing it, and now thanks to the wonderful Interwebs, meeting loads of other perves with whom to indulge their passions.
In fact, by the time you read about it in the Press, it's old news, the shine has gone, and all the serious deviants have moved on. The practice will be almost killed off once Fleet St "educates" and titillates its readership, disguising it with shrill outrage (as happened with, for example, "Dogging" - been going on since cars appeared, I imagine, but you'd think it had been invented by the Sun or Stan Collymore in 2004. I do know that's precisely the time that your chances of going out and getting a cheeky BJ in a layby from a stranger became absolutely ZERO, thanks to all the "tourists" the reports encouraged. I mean, what youth thinks he is actually going to get any action by doing handbrake turns in an Audi S3 with 3 of his mates in a popular doggers' car-park? Lots, so it seems...
Strictly speaking, of course, a "fetish" is something that a person simply has to have/do/whatever in order to become sexually aroused. For many, it's a deep-seated mental issue, from when their sexual development became inextricably linked to certain triggers, and now sex is unthinkable, or impossible, without those seemingly bizarre and rather "un-sexy" props to stir them to action. It can't be much fun when you can't get a boner unless your partner is dressed up as your Mum and re-enacts putting a clothes peg on your knob to curb your random hard-ons that destroyed her hosting Book Club meetings when you were 7, can it? Well, not
every time you want to get aroused!
These days, a "fetish" seems to be sex involving anything other than "lights off, missionary position". I have sampled many deviant sexual practices, enjoyed lots of them, and need to try lots more again to see if I might like them better second time round. Plenty more on my "To-do" list...
There is (was?) a magazine called Splosh! from the 1990s I remember seeing ads for which basically featured women getting covered in food, so there was a market for it.
I also recall (and have mentioned before) the lonely soul who used to post stories to Usenet in the 90s about his favourite female celebrities "farting on cake". Because of his I know who Tabitha Soren is (his preferred fantasy farter). Now the Usenet archive is back online you can probably find his deathless prose again.
I have attended a Splosh! themed party in a club. Lidl really shifted a few tins of those 39p Baked beans that weekend! I'm afraid I didn't hang around to help with the clear-up, but it can't have been pleasant. More polythene sheeting than a gangland hit, I recall.
Just look for Cakefarts on Pornhub. Once upon a time you could just go to Cakefarts.com, but the site died and I believe the domain name is now up for grabs. A perfect business opportunity for someone...
