Pregnancy fetishism
|
Pregnancy fetishism, also known as maiesiophilia, is a sexual fetish for women who are or appear pregnant. Amongst those who have the fetish there are many subtle distinctions and sub-fetishes, so not all are the same. In some cases it coincides with an affectation for lactation, and can be connected to inflation fetishism. It is not, however, at all connected to paedophilia (despite the apparently-common assumption). Impregnation fetish is another related paraphilia.
Pregnancy fetishism in television and movies
- In "Malcolm in the Middle", Hal is turned on by his wife's pregnant body, and tries to secretly fatten her up.
- In a "Nip/Tuck" episode, a salesman convinces Christian's impregnated girlfriend to have sex with him and talks at length about why he fetishizes pregnant women.
- In an episode of "House, M.D.", a patient tells Dr. House that he was most turned on by his wife while she was pregnant.
- In "Beloved", a pregnant woman is ogled and fondled by several men.
- In "Munich" a man has sex with his pregnant wife, which is becoming common in movies in western countries.
- In "Two and a Half Men", one of the characters revealed that he had a pregnancy fetish when his housemaid's pregnant daughter comes to visit. He says that it began when his ex-wife was pregnant, and her hormones put her in an amorous mood (His exact words on her condition were, "When the bar is only open nine months out of the year, you drink 'till you puke").
- The "Angel" episode "Expecting" (in which Cordelia is impregnated with demon-children and grows to term in approximately a day) is widely popular with the online pregnancy fetish community as it represents a common fantasy/fiction storyline. It is debated, but unknown, by those in the community, whether the episode was written by fetishists or not.
- "Galactica 1980", a late 70s/early 80s sci-fi television series that was spun off of Battlestar Galactica. It seemingly depicts pregnancy fetishism not in an erotic manner. Lieutenant Starbuck and a Cylon are stranded on a desert planet accompanied by a beautiful pregnant woman (she gives birth in the episode) from another dimension, who falls in love with Starbuck. She resembles a bright "goddess", intelligent and compassionate. But may appeal to some fetishists to find that sexually arousing.
Britney Spears pregnant nude statue controversy
In 2006, artists and activists were stunned to find Britney Spears' face and body was used in a sculpture depicts a woman squatting (arms on floor) on a bear rug, with her buttocks high in the air to signify childbirth (the baby's head and the vulva are visible). The New York-based artist, Daniel Edwards, (who had no permission from Spears) claimed his choice of Spears was to beautify and sexualize pregnancy, but was originally a pro-life political statement. The sculpture depicts Spears in the process of natural birth, although in reality, she opted for caesarian section.
Feminists are divided over whether the work is degrading or patronizing to pregnant women, but some artists and hobbyists consider the statute as unethical and distasteful. Other art critics compared his sculpture to pregnancy fetishism, or with pagan "goddess" statutes as in "earth mothers" (i.e. Demeter or Ishtar) and the Christian Virgin Mary, whom the statues sometimes have a child on their lap or their large bellies depicted earth as a life source.
Britney Spears was either unaware that her image had been used in the controversial sculpture, or declined to comment. Rumor has it the art sculpture went on sale at a New York auction and some reporters asked Britney Spears if she was comfortable that her face was used or if she had any interest in owning the sculpture. According to this story, Spears refused to answer. The pop star is a mother of two sons, and Spears had posed nude in a front cover of the September, 2006 Vogue magazine, hence another pregnant Britney picture controversy.
Pregnant Bondage
Another variant of pregnancy fetishism theme is viewing, photographing or sexual activity with pregnant women in bondage.
