變異的性行為

人體的任何部位，從頭到腳，都可能是性戀物癖的對象——頭髮、耳朵、眼睛、鼻子、肩膀、手臂、手與手指、乳房、腹部、性器官、臀部、腿、雙足以及許多大大小小的身體其它部位。在一些情形下，甚至身體畸形，像肥胖，也會成為基本的性刺激物。甚至，可能存在對身體畸形部位甚或喪失的身體部位有戀物興趣——駝背、甲狀腺腫、截肢等等。進一步的可能是，每一種人類的私密活動，像撒尿和排便也會對戀物癖者產生性喚起作用。對身著濕衣服、面具、制服、尿布和拌成嬰兒等也可能有性喚起作用。最後，當戀物對象是無生命的物體的時候，迷戀的對象實際上不勝枚舉。根本上來說，任何東西都會成為戀物癖的癡迷焦點——像帽子、手套、鞋和內衣等衣物，或像毛皮、皮革、橡膠、絲綢等材料，或像馬鞍、拐杖、鞭子、手銬等工具，以及太多太多的舉不勝舉的物品。對一些人來說，列舉實際存在的不勝枚舉的和潛在的戀物癖也許是一種令人感到有趣的消遣活動，不過這終歸是一項愚蠢的冒險計畫。

然而，不管這些限制條件怎樣，我們提供以下簡短而並不完整的戀物癖一覽表，它只是這同一門基礎課程的另一個列表：在人類，性行為不是和不可能是始終如一的。這些戀物癖的性潛能由如此多樣的心理社會影響所塑造，因為心理社會影響必然要在多種多樣的方式中表現出來。正如我們在此可以見到的一樣，深入觀察一下即可知道，甚至像戀物癖這樣單純的“性副態（paraphilia）”也會分為具有不同意義的無數個亞型。

部分戀物癖（ 以字母順序列表）/Some fetishisms (listed in alphabetical order)

Two Examples: 1. Fetishism

A Partial List of Fetishisms

Any part of the human body, from head to toe, can be the object of erotic fetishism - the hair, the ears, the eyes, the nose, the neck, the shoulders, the arms, hands and fingers, the breasts, the stomach, the sex organs, the buttocks, the legs, the feet and many other large and small portions of the body. In some cases, even a physical deformation like obesity provides the essential stimulant. Indeed, there may be a fetishistic interest in misshapen or even missing body parts – a hump, a goiter, or an amputation. It is further possible that very private human activities like urination and defecation become erotically arousing to a fetishist. This may also be true for wearing wet clothes, or masks, or uniforms, or diapers and pretending to be a baby. Finally, when it comes to inanimate objects, the possibilities are virtually endless. Anything at all can become the focus of fetishism – clothing like hats, gloves, shoes, and underwear, or materials like fur, leather, latex, and silk, or instruments like saddles, canes, whips, handcuffs, and many, far too many more. Making a list of the innumerable actual and potential fetishisms may be an amusing pastime for some people, but ultimately it is a ludicrous enterprise.
Nevertheless, in spite of these reservations, we offer the following short and very incomplete list simply as another illustration of the same basic lesson: In humans, sexual behavior is not and cannot be uniform. Their erotic potential is shaped by so many different psychosocial influences that it cannot but find expression in a great variety of ways. As we can see here, upon closer inspection, even a single “paraphilia” like fetishism breaks down into numerous subcategories of different significance.
