Impregnation fetishism

Impregnation fetishism, commonly known as a breeding kink, is the experience of intense sexual attraction at the thought of being impregnated or impregnating someone. This means someone wanting to ejaculate inside their partner or to be ejaculated into without any birth control.

Impregnation fetishism is a paraphilia characterized by sexual excitement when posed with the risk of becoming or getting someone pregnant during intercourse. According to sex expert Gigi Engle, the fetishism is rooted in the fantasy of getting pregnant, but not the desire of raising a baby. Since breeding fetishes are rooted in fantasy, it is not exclusive to people in heterosexual relationships. People in same-sex couples and transgender individuals may have breeding kinks. For some, a breeding kink can include fantastical elements, like getting impregnated with alien eggs. There are sex toys made for this specific fetish, called ovipositors, which resemble dildos and are inserted into the vagina or anus for pleasure likewise. Women may have a breeding kink, but do not necessarily want to get pregnant in real life, whereas men may be turned on by the fantasy of accidentally getting someone pregnant.^[1] For homosexual men, they may enjoy activities such as "cum dumping".^[2]
