Theme: Sexual Fetishism

This topics refers to alternate sexual practices (commonly referred to as philias) that are not covered elsewhere. For discussions of mainstream sexual practices see Sex in Fantastic Cinema and LGBT Themes in Fantastic Cinema. Some of the philias discussed here are so commonplace in their screen depictions that they have been split off as their own topics with the likes of BDSM in Fantastic Cinema and Films About Necrophilia. Films made with the intention of titillating are dealt with under Erotica and Pornography in Fantastic Cinema.

This covers everything from sexual fascination with surgery, cannibalism and bestiality to invented philias. This is simply a catalogue of the ways in which each of these practices is depicted in fantastic cinema and should not be construed as a criticism of anybody’s personal practices nor as matter support for those that are deemed illegal.
