Fetish Friday: Aquaphilia

Hi everyone! If you are not in San Diego right now, let me tell you that it does not rain often, but when it does, it makes me so happy. I'm from Miami and Costa Rica, so I'm used to heavy rain and heavier humidity. Moving from Costa Rica to San Diego was a major change in terms of weather alone. Today, I wouldn't say it's pouring, but the sprinkling is appreciated. I love the rain, water in general actually, but I don't think I could ever love it as much as the people I'm going to talk about today.

Today's Fetish: Aquaphilia

Aquaphilia is the sexual arousal of water, or under-water activities. This can include the water itself, or in receptacles, such as bathtubs, pools, grottoes, the beach, and lakes, or people doing activities in the water, such as swimming, posing, or having sex. The people in the water can be dressed or nude, depending on preference.

Aquaphiles can be aroused by, images or videos, or having sex in/masturbating with water, but what separates these fetishists from others is there is no need for raunchiness to get them going. Some aquaphiles are aroused by straight-up, hardcore sex under water, but many are stimulated from beautiful images, some of which could be considered art.

The term "aquaphile" was coined in the late 1990's, when Phil Bolton created an online magazine, Aquaphiles Journal of underwater erotica. It has since been studied by doctors and sexologists alike, including Dr. Corinne Lamberth, Brenda Love, Ph.D., Katherine Ramsland, Dr. Adrian Furnham and Dr. Viren Swami.

Because there are so many options when it comes water sex, there are other terms for aquaphilia or its sub-categories:

• Albutophilia: Sexual arousal from water
• Ablutophilia: Sexual arousal from baths or showers
• Antiohilia: Sexual arousal from floods
• Coitobalnism: Sex in a bath tub
• Coitus a unda: Sex under water
• Bidetonism: Using the water spray from a bidet to stimulate a woman's genitals while masturbating

Another genre, or sub-category of aquaphilia is the "wetlook". This is the additional arousal of seeing people wearing clothing in the water. Some specify what type of clothing they like (wedding dresses, suits, white tops, evening gowns, etc.), and others just enjoy the sight of wet fabric clinging to an attractive woman or man. Wetlooks can also be divided into different types (this can apply to the fetishists themselves or the object(s) of their desire):

• Stay wets: These fetishists enjoy being wet themselves. They are not particular about how they get wet, they just enjoy being wet. This can include getting in the shower, a pool, or jumping in the rain. Some are known to go to bed like this.
• Get wets: On the other hand, "Get-wetters" enjoy the act of getting wet. They will often dry off and change into new, dry clothing to experience getting wet over and over again, until achieving an orgasm.
• Jumpers: Jumpers like the surprise of suddenly being soaked. One jumper described it as "being caught in a situation of no way out and no turning back".
• Walkers: Contrasting jumpers, walkers prefer to get wet slowly, as suspense is part of the arousal. They like to know that there is a point of turning back, but they are breaking through some kind of limit. Some can take as long, or longer, than an hour to get completely soaked.

The first time I ever heard of anyone with a water fetish, was while watching The Forty Year Old Virgin's movie commentary. Seth Rogen and Steve Carell mention that their co-star, Elizabeth Banks', favorite sexual fantasy is her lying naked on the beach and having the ocean go down on her. I will admit, that does sound pretty interesting; that's a lot of power on one point. It gives Singing in the Rain a whole new perspective. 

I think aquaphilia "porn" is one of the most graceful and artistically appealing fetishes since water tends to make the body's movement seem ethereal. There is a bunch of images and videos for all you aquaphiles out there, all you have do is look for it. Now, all this water talk makes me want to go take a shower, so I'll see you guys later. Go get your kink on!
