In an obviously misguided attempt at mocking the playoff structure of the NCAA tournament, we’re inviting readers of With Leather and Kissing Suzy Kolber to enjoy matchups of actual fetishes in a voter-powered tournament, culminating in April with the Nasty Fetish Final Four. That tournament continues today with Round One action. Remember, you’re voting for what you consider the more nasty fetish.

5. Autoerotic asphyxiation

Literal Meaning: “Hypoxyphilia is a paraphilia which is a sub-category of sexual masochism. Also known by terms such as asphyxiophilia, autoerotic or sexual asphyxia, this potentially lethal sexual practice refers to sexual arousal that is produced while reducing the oxygen supply to the brain.”

Wiki says: “Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper.” Therefore, we can say someone who accidentally dies of this become Gasper the Pervert Ghost.

12. Robot sex

Literal Meaning: “This is a fantasy that involves the thought of having sex with a robot, having sex dressed as robots, or having sex with a person who is transformed into a robot. I’m sure that there are many geeks out there who fantasize about having sex with a perfect android woman, but this fetish can also involve fantasizing about having sex with a non-humanoid robot. I guess someone who really loves technology or science fiction could be into this.”

Wiki Says: “By its enthusiasts, robot fetishism is more commonly referred to by the initials ASFR. This initialism stems from the now defunct newsgroup alt.sex.fetish.robots. Many devotees of this fetish refer to themselves as technosexual, or as ‘ASFRians’”
