Top 10 Unusual Gay Fetishes (You’re Not Alone If You’re Into These)

Let’s Get Weird (And Hot): Unusual Gay Fetishes You’ll Totally Relate To

We all know about feet, leather, and dom/sub play—but what about the more rare, specific, or totally unexpected gay fetishes? From the oddly satisfying to the secretly common, this list reveals the top 10 unusual gay fetishes that real men are really into. Spoiler: you might just find yourself in more than one.

1. Armpit Worship (Pit Play)

There’s something raw and primal about a guy’s pits—especially when they’re musky and untouched. Armpit lovers are all about scent, tongue action, and even gentle biting. Pit sniffers are everywhere—you’re definitely not alone.

2. Sneaker Sniffing

Not just a foot fetish variant—sneaker fetishists are turned on by the smell, design, or wear of shoes. Bonus points if they’re beat-up gym shoes. Some guys even trade pics or collect their fave brands just for the erotic thrill.

3. Wet & Messy (WAM) Play

This involves food, cream, slime, or other messy substances used during foreplay or roleplay. The sensation of mess + the humiliation element = a unique turn-on. Gay men into this often explore it with full-body freedom.

4. Sounding

Not for the faint of heart, sounding is the insertion of smooth objects into the urethra for intense stimulation. It requires experience and proper hygiene, but many kinksters report unmatched pleasure from this advanced fetish.

5. Muscle Worship

It’s more than just liking a guy’s body—it’s about kneeling before it, touching, kissing, and literally worshipping every defined inch. Often paired with dom/sub dynamics, it’s a mental kink as much as a physical one.

6. Belly Fetish

From hairy stomachs to soft bellies, this fetish celebrates the male midsection. Whether it’s rubbing, licking, or simply admiring, belly play is all about vulnerability and comfort. It’s often linked with body positivity.

7. Farts & Scent Play

Yep, it’s a thing—and it’s all about extreme intimacy and trust. Some gay men are turned on by a partner’s natural scent, including gas. It often pairs with other fetishes like pit or sock worship. Total taboo, totally real.

8. Objectification & Human Furniture

Ever fantasize about being a footstool? Or turning your partner into your personal bench? Human furniture play is all about power exchange and erotic objectification—literally.

9. Medical Play

Think stethoscopes, latex gloves, roleplay exams, and even controlled discomfort. Gay medical fetishists love the clean, clinical power dynamic and the mix of fantasy + vulnerability.

10. Giant/Tiny Roleplay (Macrophilia)

This is all about scale. Some gay men fantasize about being dominated by a giant partner or shrinking down to sub size. Often explored through erotica or size-difference roleplay, it’s surreal—and super hot.

Unusual Doesn’t Mean Uncommon

Most of these fetishes have entire communities behind them. The internet has made it easier than ever to find guys who are into the exact same thing you are. So if you’ve been hiding your belly kink or pit obsession—don’t. You’re definitely not the only one.

Why These Fetishes Are So Hot

What makes these “unusual” kinks so appealing? Simple: they break the mold. They challenge what’s considered sexy by society and replace it with something deeply personal, intimate, and wild. When you connect with someone over a niche turn-on, the chemistry can feel electric—because it’s not just sex, it’s vulnerability. Sharing your weirdest kink and having someone say “same” is one of the hottest things ever.

Fantasy vs Reality: Exploring Safely

Some unusual fetishes are best explored through roleplay or imagination first. Not all partners will be immediately open to fart play or macrophilia—but many are curious if you’re confident and respectful about how you bring it up. Use erotica, porn, or online chat to test the waters and understand your turn-on fully before acting it out.

Tips to Bring Up Unusual Fetishes With a Partner

• Say it like a fun fact, not a confession. “I’m super into pit worship. You ever tried it?”
• Share a fantasy or porn clip that turns you on—see how they react.
• Be clear that it’s a turn-on, not a requirement. “I’d love to explore this with someone, but I’m open.”

If a guy shuts it down, don’t take it personally. Just move on. The kink world is full of open-minded, adventurous gays who’ll match your vibe—and may introduce you to new ones too.
