Europe’s most-searched fetishes have been revealed, and some unexpected ones have taken the top spots. After PornHub’s list of the most-search terms of 2023 proved an eye-opening read last year, now Kink and fetish platform Clips4Sale has created a map of Europe based on the continent’s most popular fetishes, with ballbusting, wrestling, and tickling all featuring.
Clips4Sale, which announced 2023’s fetish of the year to be the ‘giantess’, explained that the ‘giantess’ kink – or ‘macrophilia’, which can describe being turned on by the idea of a giant woman, perhaps who stomps or crushes a person, is now taking off in Europe having previously proved popular in the US. As well as ‘giantess’ being the UK’s most popular fetish on the site this year, the platform claimed it was in 10 other European countries’ top five searches.
‘Ballbusting’, which refers to being turned on by painful acts to the testicles, like hitting or squeezing, was also popular across the continent. Clips4Sale said the genre was the most popular search in five countries, including France, Croatia, and Romania. More commonly known kinks, like ‘feet’ and ‘pegging’, were also featured in several European countries.
The site explained that fetishes vary based on area and can be influenced by the country’s culture. For example, Germany’s legendary BDSM scene keeps the faith with bondage searches. “In an era of globalization, with broad access to online kink and fetish culture, you might expect a flattening of fetish – kink without borders,” Clips4Sale wrote in a statement. “But the truth is that the articulation of our sexuality is still very much influenced by the world around us: what we see every day, what’s culturally prized, and what’s forbidden.”
The adult site added: “We’ve learned that European men tend to fantasize about submission nearly twice as much as their North American counterparts, and that interest in fetish changes in reaction to stimuli (for instance, the rise in interest in bimbofication during the lead-up to the Barbie movie). And in the past few years, we’ve seen interest in giantess fetish surge in the United States.”
With ‘giantess’ last year’s most popular kink, 2022’s fetish of the year was named as ‘pegging’, with Clips4Sale describing it as “one of the greatest growth stories in internet history”.
The map created by Clips4Sale shows the diversity of sexual interests across Europe and how they differ from country to country. The data provides insight into the unique fetishes that people are searching for online and highlights trends that are emerging in different regions.
One surprising finding from the map is the popularity of the ‘giantess’ fetish in multiple European countries. This particular kink, which involves fantasies about giant women, has seen a significant increase in interest across the continent. It is interesting to note how cultural influences shape the sexual preferences of different countries, with some fetishes being more prevalent in certain regions due to local customs and practices.
Additionally, the map reveals that ‘ballbusting’ is another popular fetish in several European countries. This particular kink, which involves pain inflicted on the testicles, has garnered a significant following in countries like France, Croatia, and Romania. The diversity of fetishes showcased in the map highlights the wide range of sexual interests that people have and underscores the importance of inclusivity in discussions around sexuality.
Overall, the map created by Clips4Sale offers valuable insights into Europe’s most-searched fetishes and sheds light on the diverse array of sexual interests that exist across the continent. It serves as a reminder that sexual preferences are unique to individuals and can vary widely from one country to another. By providing a glimpse into the world of kink and fetish culture, the map opens up important conversations about sexuality and encourages people to explore their desires in a safe and consensual manner.
