Rose, a voluptuous 30-something redhead who stands five-foot-four but adds a foot in attitude, has pied me in the face eight times (actually, seven, because the last two pies were delivered concurrently). But I suppose it\u2019s been for a good cause. Within two or three months, hundreds of guys with a specific sexual proclivity will have paid $8.99 to watch \u2013 and probably rewatch \u2013 a video of my humiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fetish, which is called WAM (wet and messy) or \u201csploshing,\u201d involves the smearing of food or another liquid or sticky substance all over a person\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeave it on,\u201d Rose\u2019s roommate-videographer-director, Jen, tells me at one point. \u201cIt\u2019s got to cling. They like the cling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The viewers will know the substance in the pie tins is shaving cream, not pie or even whipped cream, and they\u2019ll be fine with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose\u2019s Clips4Sale page boasts more than 500 ten-minute featurettes showcasing WAM and other things most people have no idea are things, including \u201cDirty Scrunched Tube Socks,\u201d \u201cFull Blast Gassing\u201d and \u201cChewing All the Gum.\u201d As the famous internet maxim, Rule 34, puts it, \u201cIf it exists, there is porn of it \u2014 no exceptions.\u201d Rose\u2019s livelihood appears to owe something to Rule 34. She takes special requests from regular customers, and the variety of fetishes never ceases to astonish her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve vacuumed on cam before,\u201d Rose says, \u201cwhich is like, sure I\u2019ll clean my living room. It needs to be done anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also the sliced-cheese guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat he wanted me to do is to tear it into tiny squares,\u201d Rose says. \u201cAnd he specifically needed it to be sliced American cheese. But I was out, because my kids eat it. So I\u2019m like, I have Gouda, Swiss \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fetish is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as the reliance on non-living objects, or non-genital body parts, for arousal and satisfaction. The most popular of several scientific theories advanced to explain the phenomenon is cross-wiring between the brain\u2019s sex center and adjacent regions controlling other body parts and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose has her own theory: that fetishes are nonsexual activities experienced in childhood that, because of a pleasant or unpleasant association, take on a sexual twist beginning in puberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe getting told not to play with your food is how this one happens,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guess is an educated one; Rose graduated from college with a psychology degree. \u201cIt helps me get into their mind-set and figure out what they\u2019re looking for in a scene,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose won\u2019t say how much she earns per year; however, she hints that the number could top six figures. \u201cI just had a guy pay me $1,000 the other day,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it takes time to build up, it\u2019s not an overnight thing at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShould I put a bikini or bra on?\u201d Rose wonders aloud. \u201cA bikini might make it too bubble-gummy.\u201d She opts for a demure blue dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s now two minutes before we roll. The walls and floor are lined with enough protective plastic for a Dexter episode. Rose and Jen confer, working out last-minute details \u2014 motivation, mise-en-sc\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need a story line,\u201d Rose says. \u201cEverything has to have a story line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first idea \u2014 that I\u2019m getting pied in the face after losing a bet \u2014 is voted down in favor of a concept more based in reality: I\u2019m a reporter for a magazine seeking to interview Rose, who demands I get pied in the face first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the first pie hits, it feels more like being in a Three Stooges short than a fetish porn. I laugh a little to myself. (Some WAM compilation videos, especially those on YouTube, include pie-in-the-face content from vintage slapstick films, since they\u2019re not sexual in nature, and, therefore, permitted.) My laughter turns briefly to panic, however, when \u2013 after leaving the pie on my face for 30 seconds, as instructed \u2013 I take it off to breathe and draw wisps of lemony Barbasol into my lungs instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By my fourth face pie, having learned to quickly clear nostril holes into the foam, I begin enjoying the experience a little. Maybe more than I want to admit. In fact, I won\u2019t lie \u2013 I notice myself chubbing up. By the double-whammy of pies No. 7 and 8, I resemble a slightly puffed Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. It hardly feels like punishment anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t pinpoint exactly what\u2019s so arousing about it \u2013 being cackled at by a hot babe, being in my underwear while she and Jen are fully dressed, or being on camera. Or maybe it\u2019s the memory of the cover of Herb Alpert\u2019s Whipped Cream &amp; Other Delights in my parents\u2019 record cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 2011 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 24.5 percent of men reported engaging in fetishism, with 30 percent saying they fantasize about it. The World Health Organization says fetishes are common and only pose a problem when they impede normal sex or cause distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I guess it\u2019s cool, then, to come clean and admit mine \u2026 I have always loved the look of a female butt encased in spandex, which explains why I spent way too much time in roller-skating rinks during the \u201980s and why there\u2019s a pair of shiny pants with the crotch cut out in my sex drawer that my wife would only wear for me once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe that wasn\u2019t cool to admit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGreat job!\u201d Rose says. \u201cWho knew you\u2019d be such a natural? Congratulations!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, I\u2019m struck by a possibility I hadn\u2019t considered: How much more prominent my fetish porn video is likely to be online than this explanation of my journalistic reason for agreeing to appear in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, a week later, I discover that bots are automatically spreading a GIF of the video to sites I\u2019ll never get them off. Ever. On the plus side, when I look at in Clips4Sale\u2019s \u201cWet &amp; Messy\u201d fetish category, \u201cJournalist Gets Creamed\u201d is the top-selling video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreylevitan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/6582b4bc412f7d9503f7dedaebc3e79479-24-whipped-cream-fetish-gif.2x.h473.w710-1024x682.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.coreylevitan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/6582b4bc412f7d9503f7dedaebc3e79479-24-whipped-cream-fetish-gif.2x.h473.w710-1024x682.gif 1024w, http:\/\/www.coreylevitan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/6582b4bc412f7d9503f7dedaebc3e79479-24-whipped-cream-fetish-gif.2x.h473.w710-300x200.gif 300w, http:\/\/www.coreylevitan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/6582b4bc412f7d9503f7dedaebc3e79479-24-whipped-cream-fetish-gif.2x.h473.w710-768x512.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;COREY LEVITAN I\u2019m standing in my underwear in the Las Vegas living room of fetish porn star Olivia Rose, dripping with shaving cream.
