Have you ever been watching a horror movie, looked at the villain, and thought, “I’d hit that.”
Maybe fallen in love with Dracula or Frankenstein’s Monster during your high school English class?
What about getting a little hot and bothered when Thanos snapped half of the world’s population into oblivion?
Luckily for you, there’s a kink for that.
Teratophilia is a sexual attraction to monsters or inhuman creatures. The word comes from the greek τέρας meaning monster and φιλία meaning love. If it’s got greek roots, it’s gotta be legit.
Usually, people who are into this kink want to be dominated by the monster or beast of their desire. This can involve a monster laying eggs in you, restraining you with tentacles, or using differently-shaped penis(es) to fuck you.
A mild form of teratophilia is on display in urban fantasy narratives like Twilight and Teen Wolf. However, this has become so mainstream that arguably, liking vampires and werewolves isn’t really kinky anymore. We’re going to focus on people who want to have sex with real monsters, ones that would make most people scream (and not in the sexy way).
Monster thirst really came to life on the internet. Now, there’s more erotic monster art, porn, and literature than ever before. And you’ll find an eclectic group of monsters are most popular with these groups.
If you’re into this kink, you can probably guess what some of these winners will be. Even if you’re not, some of it slipped out into popular discourse. If this isn’t your thing, you’re probably wondering how creepy these monsters are gonna get. The answer is, brace yourself.
Here are the top 10 hottest monsters, in no particular order.
Who Is He?: An invader turned good-ish. Also Tom Hardy’s boyfriend, maybe?
What Is He?: An alien Symbiote with an amorphous, liquid-like form. He survives by bonding with a (usually) human host. He can shapeshift to look like other humans and increases the strength of his host.
Why He’s So Hot: Several rows of long teeth. Loooong pointy tongue. Plus, who doesn’t want to watch Tom Hardy and an alien make out?
Who Is He?: The OG American cryptid.
What Is He?: A large ape-like, hairy creature. He’s usually described as 6-9 feet tall, and his footprints can be up to 24 inches long and 8 inches wide.
Why He’s So Hot: First, going out in the wilderness on a hike is always sexy. Second, his feral nature makes people feel like they can give up control to the beast.
Who Is He?: A captured fish man who gets the girl.
What Is He?: Mysterious sea creature captured in a South American river. Half man, half fish.
Why He’s So Hot: The dark, mysterious pull of the sea. Plus, dat ass, tho.
Who Is He?: A monster that came out of a storybook to torment a family. Or, probably, a metaphor for grief or whatever.
What Is He?: A tall, pale-faced humanoid in a tophat. He has (sexy) taloned fingers that he can use to torment his victims (among other things).
Why He’s So Hot: The Babadook is a gay icon, basically. Also, sexy hat.
Who Is He?: The king of Halloweentown who stumbles through a portal into Christmas Town. Not too evil, but admittedly a bit creepy. Maybe misunderstood?
What Is He?: A claymation living skeleton. He wears a pinstripe suit and a dashing bowtie that resembles a bat.
Why He’s So Hot: He’ll buy you gifts for both Halloween and Christmas. Sugar daddy alert!
Who Is He?: He’s described as hideously ugly, but sensitive and emotional.
What Is He?: An eight foot tall monster built in a lab.
Why He’s So Hot: A sweet outcast that can still pound you into the ground? Sign us up!
Who Is He?: If you see the Mothman, it might mean disaster is coming. He was sighted before a bridge collapse and even before 9/11. Is he making these disasters happen, or trying to warn us? Hot either way.
What Is He?: A cryptid that looks like a moth and man hybrid. He has large, glowing red eyes and a brown body and wings.
Why He’s So Hot: The psychic thing is pretty dope. Plus, he could pick you up and literally sweep you off your feet.
Who Is He?: A man turned into a beast by an old woman’s spell. Now super cursed.
What Is He?: A beast, basically. Long hair, pronounced teeth, the works.
Why He’s So Hot: If you’re into the forced captivity thing or a master/slave fetish, The Beast’s got you.
Who Is He?: An ancient cosmic evil who preys upon children roughly every 27 years in some town in Maine.
What Is He?: He primarily takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, but It has a variety of shapeshifting abilities. He can also manipulate people really well and become invisible to adults.
Why He’s So Hot: Razor sharp teeth. Glamorous makeup. Wants kids. The trifecta.
Did any of those monsters get you a little turned on? Then congratulations! You have a new fetish!
As you probably noticed, that list didn’t have any women on it. This is because it seems like most of the people who are into horror creatures are heterosexual women.
Why is that? Some speculate that fantasizing about a monster allows women to leave behind gender norms and the patriarchy. You don’t have to worry about Cthulhu mansplaining to you. Monsters can be masculine, but they’re generally not men, which can let you fantasize about masculinity in a different way. This can be particularly helpful if you have trauma or baggage related to human guys.
Many people are also turned on by the unknown aspect of fucking a monster. What’s going to happen? Will I even like this? What’s even happening to me? Some fear mixed with anticipation can be a powerful aphrodisiac.
Teratophilia can attract people who feel othered by society. Disabled people, queer people, trans people, racial and ethnic minorities, and other marginalized groups may be attracted to monsters because sometimes society makes them feel like they are monsters. They understand the pain that these monsters have gone through.
Venom is a refugee from another planet. Frankenstein’s Monster is disabled and never asked to be made in the first place. Bigfoot and The Shape of Water Monster have to hide from society. Some of these monsters are kept away from society for reasons other than their looks.
Being into monsters might not be the most mainstream fetish, but it’s one that many teenage girls and young women have. The internet has given them a place to express their sexual interest. For some, it might actually be easier to talk about boning a yeti than having sex with a human. Young women are able to explore their sexualities and talk about how sexy Pennywise’s red nose is. That’s dope.
Lastly, teratophilia interacts with other kinks. A monster capturing you and forcing themselves on you might be considered a part of your BDSM lifestyle. These creatures are almost always dominant, with the human happily playing the submissive role. Many of these encounters are non-consensual, or at least start out that way, which works well if you’re into rape play.
If the creature has multiple tentacles/fingers/cocks, you might be able to satisfy a group sex or gang bang fetish with only one creature. Also, if you’re into (really sharp) biting or fire play, there’s a creature for that.
Here are a few different types of monster fetishes. Some people have one main type of monster they go wild for, and others might be game for any baddie out there. You do you.
Some people are super into aliens. They want to have sex with them, and during that experience, they want the alien to lay eggs inside them.
This is actually a fairly popular subset of the fetish. You can find lots of porn on Reddit. It’s probably prompted by the Aliens movies, but people also have pretty creative imaginations.
A lot of teratophilia can’t be replicated in real life because, to date, we haven’t gotten to hook up with any aliens. (Or at least that’s what the government wants you to think.) But you can actually replicate the sensation of an alien or insect laying eggs inside you from your own home without having to wait for any crop circles.
Enter the Ovipositor. It’s a toy made by Primal Herdware that allows you to lay gelatin eggs inside your orifice of choice (or a partner could always help you). Apparently the toy gets a little getting used to, but people experience a unique sensation both when the egg goes in and when its remains ooze out.
It’s not for everyone, but if this is your particular brand of monster play, springing for this toy will bring you a lot of fun.
Most of us have heard of tentacle porn, but usually just because people can’t stop pointing out how “weird” or “sick” it is. Well, those people are wrong.
Tentacle porn actually has a long and storied history, and you’re definitely not the only person who thinks about a Blue-ringed Octopus or Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribean that way.
Tentacle porn dates all the way back to Japanese erotic woodblock carving from the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the earliest examples is Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife, which depicts a woman getting eaten out by an octopus. Some people worry about the octopus being able to consent, but he looks pretty into it.
It took awhile for the genre to actually take off, but when it did, it absolutely exploded. Censorship laws had been rampant in Japan, and they made it so porn couldn’t show penises going into vaginas. This led manga artist Toshio Maeda to write and illustrate the iconic Demon Beast Invasion. If you couldn’t show a penis, why not sub it out for a sexy tentacle?
This trick actually got around the censors, so other anime and manga studios jumped to include them. Tentacles aren’t just featured on sea creatures. They could be added to aliens, robots, or basically anything at all that could possibly have tentacles. So actually, a tentacle fetish can be teratophilia in many different forms.
Genitalia still has to be censored by a pixelated or black bar in Japan, so tentacles never really fell out of fashion. They’re very popular in hentai, which is basically Japanese porn.
The trend started in the United States in 1970, when the movie The Dunwich Horror was released, a horror movie which features a rape by a man with tentacles on his face. In 1981, The Evil Dead featured a woman being penetrated by a tree. (Not exactly the same, but tentacle-ish.) Recently, there has been some tentacle porn in American media, usually in sci-fi movies featuring aliens.
One of the main tropes of the genre is the woman being raped by the tentacles. It’s so prominent that the name for the genre in Japan translates to “tentacle violation.” Some of this media is consensual, though. This kink may overlap some with rape play, but you don’t have to put these two together if that makes you uncomfortable.
Do you want to take a camping trip with Bigfoot? Scuba dive with the Loch Ness Monster? Then maybe you’re a good candidate to read (or write) some cryptid erotica.
Cryptid erotica is sometimes called cryptozoological erotica. A cryptid is a mythical creature that has spotty sightings that the scientific community can’t confirm. Some examples include the yeti, Mothman, Bigfoot, and the Kraken. Some lesser-known cryptids would be a Thunderbird, Lizard Man, and the Jersey Devil.
There’s erotica featuring women getting ambushed by basically any monster imaginable. Mermen, dragons, ogres, leprechauns...you name it. Many of these books aren’t available to purchase anymore (we’ll talk about why) but want to hear some titles?
Here are some books that exist: Seduced By the Ape Men, The Monster in Her Panties, Yielding to the Merman, Punished By the Centaur, Savaged By the Swamp Creature, Taken By the Pterodactyl, Sex With My Husband’s Anatomically Correct Robot, and Bigfoot Did Me From Behind and I Liked It.
If tentacle porn has an exciting story of an upward trend, monster and cryptid erotica has unfortunately had its challenges. The genre was widely popular back around 2011. Most of the books were self-published on Amazon, and well-known authors were making around $30,000 a month. Everyone was flying high on the dirty monster books train.
But then nasty old censorship ruined the party again. After a website called The Kernel ran a pearl-clutching article about the “filth” Amazon published, the corporate giant decided to pull as much monster erotica as it could find because it was considered either rape or beastiality.
Admittedly, forced sex is a plot point in a lot of monster erotica. However, the books generally end consensually. Also, we would argue that books aren’t reality. If women are turned on by the idea of getting plowed by Bigfoot, who are we to judge? It’s not like there’s a chance that that situation could happen in real life.
Also, what makes Amazon qualified to choose what books should be published? They’re not really a publisher, but a place where basically anything can be listed for sale. Unless a book harms someone directly, it seems like it should be allowed to remain for sale.
An article for WYNC Studios describes the issue well:
“So while we can’t know what Amazon's specific criteria for censorship is, from the outside, you can kind of imagine a formula. Something like, "How likely is it people will be offended by this book?" divided by "How commercially significant is it?". You can imagine how someone self-publishing monster erotica for a fringe audience wouldn't do particularly well in that equation.”
Amazon continues to enforce these rules for self-published works, but leaves up traditionally published work that’s similar. Sex with animals isn’t allowed, even if they’re shapeshifters. The couple can only get it on in the hero’s human form.
Given Amazon’s censorship guidelines, you can’t read many of these classic monster erotica books anymore, or at least you can’t find them easily. Luckily, there’s a great deal of this content on blogs and fanfiction sites.
Fucking a monster is—probably—going to be out of reach for you. So how do you scratch this impossible itch?
There are all sorts of ways to enjoy monster porn and erotica.
First, there’s traditionally illustrated and/or animated content. You can find independent creators on Twitter or Tumblr who focus on this. nsfwwerewolf on Tumblr reblogs a bunch of monster porn images, and its-a-laurasaurus-rex posts a bunch of tentacle porn
There are also porn sites that cater to animated porn. MultPorn has some monster content, as well as some fandom stuff. And you can always find what you’re looking for on Pornhub.
Despite Amazon’s censorship, there are still some books you can get. Minotaur: Blooded is a dark fantasy romance between a human girl and a minotaur. We’ve got Seduced by Bigfoot and Ravaged by the Yeti: The Secret Adventures of a Fertile Housewife, which must be exactly what you’d expect.
If you’re into stitches, there’s a Frankenstein erotica called Claimed by the Creature. And lastly, there’s The Alien’s Prize, in which a girl is won as an alien’s mate in a fighting match. Yum!
Just a disclaimer, the writing in these books likely isn’t Shakespeare-level. But that’s not what you need when you’re jerking off, right? (Unless correct grammar and punctuation is your specific fetish.)
Like most scenarios, having sex with a monster can be super hot if the creature is being played by your partner. You just have to roleplay the scene correctly.
If costumes would help you, feel free, but they might make the whole thing feel sort of campy and cheesy. However, sometimes teratophilia overlaps with the furry fandom, so if you and/or your partner wants to wear a fursuit or a mask, feel free.
You could close your eyes and imagine what they would look like as your monster of choice, or simply rely on their body. You might be able to play sounds of the creature to add to the ambiance.
There are other ways to spice up your scene. You can replicate claws with household objects like butter knives. If your partner is playing a merman, maybe try out your scene just after they got out of the shower (or in the bath).
Plus, you can change up the sensation by adding in dildos that are made specifically to replicate monster dicks.
No matter what sort of cock you want to be penetrated by, you can probably find a version made of silicone that you can have at your house within 5-7 business days.
Like we talked about earlier, if an alien laying their eggs inside you sounds sexy, check out the Ovipositor. This could represent an alien, insect, or anything else that lays eggs.
Uberrime has a wide selection of tentacle dildos. Models replicate tentacles that belong to aliens and even Cthulhu. Exotic Erotics has a bunch of robot dildos for cyborgs, mechs, and androids. Don’t worry; you won’t even have to charge them.
If aliens strike your fancy, Uberrime is at it again with all sorts of alien dongs and probes. Lust Arts offers a unicorn horn penis. (It’s not as pointy as it sounds, promise.)
Okay, lightning round, because these sites have a ton of variety. Want to hump a hellhound? Get beat up by an orc? Ride a werehorse? Fuck Frankenstein? Have a raptor chomp down on your nipple? Make love to a reptilian?
If you’re looking for something pop culture focused, Etsy’s got you covered. There’s a sex toy that looks like Pennywise’s tongue. How about Darth Vibrator? If you thought The Night King from Game of Thrones was kinda hot...there’s a glow in the dark dildo for that.
So if you spent your childhood fantasizing about Anakin Skywalker or Scar from The Lion King...you’re not alone. Actually, whether you’re into aliens or Bigfoot or used panties, there’s a whole ton of people out there who are into it, too.
Tagline: So Pennywise and Venom are kinda hot...right?
