Fetish Friday: Hierophilia

Well look-y here. I guess I had to make up for slacking on Tuesday. I just realized it's Fetish Friday! My favorite day :)

Today's Fetish: Hierophilia

Hey, if we're going to talk about freaky shit, we might as well get blasphemous. Hierophilia, also referred to as theophilia, is the sexual attraction to religious and sacred objects. Now, this is not a commonly discussed fetish, so finding information on it is very limited. I was not able to find any information on whether this is limited to Christian/Catholic idols/symbols, but from what I have found, it seems so.

Hierophiliacs are aroused by images displayed in churches or scenes depicted in the Bible, and fantasize about having sex with crosses, rosary beads, saints, Jesus, God, and sometimes even clergymen.

The reasons behind this fetish vary:

• The naughty element of doing something taboo or forbidden. These fetishists normally stick to role-play. Nun and priest costumes are commonly used.
• People with severe disdain for the Church. These fetishists get off by extreme blasphemy and receive pleasure in knowing they are desecrating something sacred. Costumes, crosses and rosary beads are popular toy choices for this lot.
• Extremists and fanatics. These people are so devout to their religion, that their fanaticism manifests into sexual desire for an idol and religious objects. Vibrators and butt plugs with the image of Jesus are commonly used.

So next time you see that crazy Church Lady getting a little too excited during Mass, you'll wonder whether Jesus is touching her faith or something else a little more "inspirational". ;)

Now go get your kink on! Amen.
