I still can't get over the sheer amount of strange sexual infatuations. If it isn't getting a high off of being swindled out of money or popping balloons, it's crushing bugs, food, or small objects.
I'm absolutely terrified of bugs. I think if a lover were to tell me he'd be turned on if I stepped on a spider, as open as I am to things, I think I may have to draw the line there. And then weep silently in a corner as my arachnophobia overpowers me.
There are two sorts of crush fetishists. One is considered a soft crush where small insects, spiders, worms, etc. are crushed. The other is a hard crush where bigger animals maybe stepped on, such as birds and reptiles.
Jeff Valencia is actually a prominent director of crush films and has a small collection of films depicting small insects being crushed. He's claimed to have loved watching bugs being smashed since he was young.
There was a lawsuit that banned the making and selling of crush films that depicted animal cruelty, though it was later uplifted--the ban being too broad to be properly defined legally and interfering with freedom of speech.
The crushing fetish can lead into another fetish known as trampling, which is the act of another person stepping on you. The latter I feel is a bit more common in the BDSM scene, videos of which can be found on youtube. I checked.
Has a lover ever brought up a strange fetish to you? How did you react?

God, I remember hearing about those videos. Sometimes, I really question people's mental health. I also don't really understand rape fantasies.
@laytexduckie@xanga - Really? I'd think rape fantasies would be somewhat common. I mean I personally like when a guy takes the lead, knows what he wants, and is aggressive and dominant, and I think most women enjoy having partners more dominant than they are. And if you just take that to the extreme it would become a rape fantasy, no?
@LightBlue21@xanga - Well, I understand where girls want their guys to be dominant. But, to the idea where they have to feel like they are being raped against their will? I dunno.
you don't know how gross that picture is. like seriously eww. just eww. looked again and just eww.
Actually crush vids depicting animal cruelty are banned again at least in the U.S. Myself as well as a few other people I know and some organizations worked pretty hard to make them illegal in the U.S and we are still trying in other countries. Obama passed the bill in 2010 I believe. I'm not against willing people doing this to themselves. But if people throw in animals or children into fetishes I will definitely have a problem.
...they crush birds? that's horrible. wtf.
britt--were you the one who wrote the post about saying awkward things to an interest? you should write a post about awkward sexual encounters. i've got a couple that i would love to share.
Wtf? Sorry, but this just screaming mentally unstable to me. I'm very open minded to other peoples fantasies, but actually "crushing", or really killing, small animals is a fetish?
I mean I understand you have to squish a few bugs every once in a while, but actually taking PLEASURE in this??? That's something else................
Wow..............I honestly don't even know what to say here haa..
@Erika_Steele@xanga - hahaaa I know! That's how I felt when I saw it..I actually feel sorry for the little bug!
Like @laytexduckie@xanga, I do not understand rape fantasies either.
I did however take a class on paraphilia, fetishes, and partialism. It was to say in the least...interesting. I also took the class at the same time as a class on violent sex offenders. As much of the curriculum for both classes was so connected, I'd probably be really freaked out if my SO were to bring up a strange sexual practice. I'd be too paranoid and think he was a killer on the loose.
@laytexduckie@xanga - I don't get them either. It screams mentally unstable to me, and I'd be really concerned if a partner of mine told me that was their fantasy :-/
oh no...my first thought wasn't crushing bugs at all
but having multiple crushes on actual people
I have another crush at work
he is so cute
of course he's cute; why would I have a crush on a guy, who isn't. he seemed nervous around me as he stumbled to pick up this piece of paper, which I thought was sooo adorable for some dreamy reason
he accidentally dropped a pen that landed right in front of me and I pretended that I didn't see it. we were standing there awkwardly as the pen lay unpicked
I wasn't sure if I should bend over to pick it up because then he'd see inside my shirt
and I don't want to seem skanky
then I graciously bent my knee to pick up the pen with one hand
and that's how a lovely princess picks up a pen
he SO fell in love with me at that moment
one time my coworker mentioned him in a random conversation and then noticed that my face turned red, so they know that I like him
I crush spiders to destroy them, not for fun, only when they trespass onto my property. I don't like hearing the crushing noises. I usually suffocate bugs in a wad of wet toilet paper and flush them down the toilet
I prefer to use a silencer and be discreet about it
Crushing eh? Not for me. I actually thought this was going to be about that fetish where you like to be stepped on, with heavy boots and such. Not sure what it is called....
I got a strange fetish story though. My long time lady friend and I will occasionally bring home ladies when we go out, and one time we grabbed a nutty one. She had a pretty weird fetish/fantasy of wanting to be scolded by her "mom and dad". We think she was a bit unstable, and needless to say, it was a bit too much for us.
Stomping fluffy warm animals to death is just wrong.
lol could porcelain doll be any cuter?
@LightBlue21@xanga - I'm not so sure about that. As someone who has actually BEEN raped....that wasn't something I had ever wanted, and men who are more dominant, or even equally dominant as me, scare the living daylights out of me. I don't like feeling even slightly out of control.
How funny, I mentioned this very fetish as a comment on a post recently.
A man who I knew only through the BDSM community asked me to step on bugs for him, it was the only thing I have been asked to do that I declined and it was the strangest thing...
Trampling is interesting, I went to a workshop on it. It isn't my thing on either end, but it is interesting none the less.
@laytexduckie@xanga -
As for rape fantasies, they are very common, in and out of the BDSM community.
It is about giving up control in a controlled and loving environment. It is also about the thrill of fear.
@SweetPrincesita@xanga -
You think that is bad... try the snuff fetish..
@Semper_medusa@xanga -
I know women in a small community here who are rape victims and have intense rape fantasies that they play out.
@HopeWithinReach@xanga - Snuff fetish? Lol....Wow, that even just sounds weird..not sure if I want to know what this is hhaha.
@Erika_Steele@xanga - Right? Omg, I don't even want to get into what I saw on Google Images. 0_0
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - I was! And I'll keep that in mind. I love awkwardness.
@HopeWithinReach@xanga - I accidentally texted an interested that I was reading snuff when I really meant to say smut. Talk about awkwarddddddd.
@HopeWithinReach@xanga - that really surprises me. Learn something new every day.
I feel bad for the bugs. Yes, I'm that sensitive, I love bugs. D:
AND WHO THE FUCK WOULD CRUSH A REPTILE?! I'LL CRUSH THEIR COCK!
You forgot ball crushing. I have seen some interesting stuff on the internet. They have gay porn of the lorax movie now! That movie is not even on dvd yet.
@brittmichele -
Lol That would be super awkward! lol.
