  • Abduction is an exotic kink or fetish in BDSM that abducts and or kidnaps the "victim." The abductee is typically blindfolded and bound using wrist and ankle restraints or bondage rope. 
 
  • Acrotomophilia is a fetish for amputees. The person with this fetish is turned on by a lover or partner (or even porn), missing an arm, leg, fingers, or other body parts. A person who enjoys being an amputee has an apotemnophilia kink. 
 
  • Agalmatophilia is the arousal produced by statues, mannequins, life-size sex dolls, or other human figure representations. Experts say that this kink is often closely related to Pygmalionism, an attraction to one's creation.

  • Bondage is a form of restraint play. Not necessarily an exotic fetish for most kinksters. What makes this an exotic fetish in BDSM is the type of material being used to restrain. For more conventional BDSM enthusiasts, the use of wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs, and thigh cuffs can be used. However, for those ardent BDSM partners, some enjoy full-body vacuum beds or suspension rigs. Bondage may also include specially designed furniture to help restrain a partner and keep them immobile.
