What's A Favorite Ghost Fetish? Spectro Philia, Obviously

From Succubus to incubus, spectrophilia is one very unique fetish. As much as it sounds delusional, some spectrophiliacs testify to having orgasms from this kind of fetish. Whether it’s a way of reconnecting with their lost loved one or just a fantasy, spectrophilia is a fetish and, to some, quite satisfactory.

You perhaps believed in things like the tooth fairy and Santa when you were a child. But as you grew up, you discovered they weren't real. However, unlike Santa, people still believe in ghosts from stories and movies, and some even testify to their encounters. But what if you feel aroused whenever you hear of or allegedly encounter ghosts like  Spectro philia. It is whereby a person is sexually aroused or attracted to ghosts and spirits. Perhaps you have even heard of people narrating how they've allegedly had sexual encounters with ghosts or spirits. Whether ghosts are real is up to you, some people believe they do, and some don't. It is a fetish, a ghost fetish, and so are their orgasms. Here is a closer look at what it entails.

Ghost Fetish   

Kastenbaum (2015) explained that there is something about ghosts and spirits that give people who believe in them a feeling of comfort and peace, especially if it's that of a lost loved one. You live in what you believe in, and the power of belief makes the impossible possible, whether in one's mind or in real life. Filmmakers also have a big role in making us believe in ghosts and spirits, with most horror movies being based on vengeful ghosts or spirits that come to haunt the living. Callard (2022) stated that spectrophilia is very different from horror scenes, whereby a person craves a sexual encounter with these ghosts. What's even more confusing is that people orgasm from this fetish.

What is Spectrophilia?

HOURAN (2018) explained that spectrophilia is sexual attraction to ghosts or sexual excitement from mirror images along with the alleged episodes of sexual encounters between humans and ghosts. 

Succubus and Incubus

Bet you have heard of the Succubus before, an evil spirit or demon that shows up in the human form to seduce men. In some cases, the spectrophiliacs believe they can be taken to other dimensions if this Succubus visits them. There is also the belief that the Succubus visit men to extract their semen for impregnation. 

An Incubus is the opposite of a Succubus. In this case, a woman fantasizes about an evil spirit or demon in the form of a human man. The belief of impregnation is also here where the incubus wishes to impregnate the lady she visits. These visits often happen at night, whereby those with these fetishes are woken up from sleep.

It Doesn't Make Sense

It doesn't add up, but a fetish is a fetish. It is the case; most spectrophiliacs don't ascertain that they have gone all the way with these demons to 'friends-with-benefits'. Even if they have and their alleged flings are regular, how do you mark out penetrative sex and you are in the land of the living? Most spectrophiliacs state that they often feel weight against them, someone's fingers grazing on their skin and even warm breath over their neck. However, presence and energy have a role to play in this. Some also claim that they also feel penetrations which surprisingly make them have very real and intense orgasms.

It's Beyond Sex    

Of course, this is not your regular kink. How can you have a sexual encounter with an evil spirit? It seems like a fantasy, but it's more than that. Bhardwaj (2015) explained that customarily evil spirits and demons are believed to pose supernatural power they may exercise in the human realm. Some spectrophiliacs testify to being foretold about things about their lives that, in some cases, came to happen in the future. Whether it's fiction or fantasy, you live in what you believe in and whatever they believe in is up to them. Many books and films have explored this weird phenomenon. However, no scientist or scientific study has proved that demons and evil spirits exist or if they visit the living.

Phantom Pregnancies

A phantom pregnancy happens when a woman believes she is pregnant but doesn't display any outward symptoms of pregnancy. However, phantom pregnancy can go a long way even to cause a positive blood pregnancy test, but no cause for alarm; the urine will still test negative. A good explanation of this happening is that it can alter the body system to imitate the characteristics when the brain believes something to a certain extent. Of course, phantom pregnancies are delusional, and psychosis plays a big role in this. You know a human and ghost can't reproduce because it sounds unrealistic.    

Ghost Brides

Did you know that some parents purchase bride corpses for their deceased sons to secure them a family in the afterlife? As many would suggest, this is quite normal in Chinese culture. They believe that being in the afterlife without a spouse can bring misfortune to the family left behind. The world has changed, but surprisingly some people still practice this delusional type of marriage. Faust (2017) explained that sex with ghosts is hard to prove naturally, but everyone believes in what they want.

Reconnection With Loved Ones

Grief over lost loved ones can lead one to believe in contacting the dead. The existence of mediums to do this, however minimum, has led many to visit them in the cause to reconnect with their deceased spouses or family members. Grief propels this fetish, especially for those who want to hold on to a beloved one.   

Satisfying The Ghost Fetish 

When it comes to kinks and fantasies, the fun is always based on your imagination and what it is capable of imploring. The imagination is where all the magic happens to create the impossible, which might sometimes be nearly if not impossible to happen in real life. Some may be due to legal reasons and others because of safety issues, but they can still occur in our minds. To satisfy a ghost fetish, you can deploy role-playing to act out the ghost sex fantasy. You can have your partner play the role of an incubus or Succubus or even play the role yourself. To make things more interesting, you can have sex in a spooky place such as an abandoned building to deploy the feeling of a haunted place. 

Conclusion  

You have encountered many kinks and fantasies, but spectrophilia is one of a kind. Leave alone the fact that it sounds delusional; how can one think of having sex with an evil spirit or demon. It questions the person's mental state, and there might be a need to worry. However, it may be just a fetish if it doesn't go to an extreme extent.
