*Caution: this article contains some sexual themes. Viewer discretion is advised*
Continuing on the topic of unusual sexual fantasies, there are always some that don't end up being well recognized, or even explored by scholars and psychologists. When trying to research the topic, Google provided me with numerous links, most of them to tumblr pages and blogs where Poké philic content is abundant, but did not contain content on the actual background of the sexual fantasy.
So, what is Poké philia? Well, it is obviously about Pokémon, but, to be more specific, according to a post made on the forums of the popular Pokémon related website, Serebii.net , Poképhilia is "sexual feelings directed towards Pokémon. This can qualify as a relationship, sexual contact (including kissing), erotic fan-fiction, and all the way up to describing detailed intercourse with a Pokemon".
The more I look into what the true definition of Poképhilia is, the more unclear it becomes. We not only have the definition above, but there are a multitude of "definitions" or opinions, some even labeling it as a sickness or a disorder. Though, putting that all aside, there is an even bigger question that should be addressed when pertaining to any sexual fantasy or kink, how do people develop an attraction towards it?
Thankfully, I was able to find some insight regarding this question. Marsh Naylor, in his article, "Sexually Attracted to Poké mon? You're Not Alone," includes an article, written by Dan Savage, pertaining to a father who's son is sexually attracted to Poké mon and wants to know what to do. He answers the question by stating this:
For the most part, it seems that a fascination and attraction towards Poképhillia starts in younger individuals, mostly males, during a time when they are fairly sexually imprintable. Though, the article only seems to focus on males over females and this what I wanted to gain a little insight into. I wanted to know the perspective from an actual individual, their story, in short. So, I decided to ask around the Poképhilia community, seeking anyone who was willing to be interviewed on this topic. Luckily, I came across a user who goes under the name "G," confidentiality for interview purposes, and provided me with details on their involvement in the Poképhilia community, as well as helping me better understand Poképhilia.
Now, G, how would you personally define Poképhilia as a whole?
How long have you had an interest or involvement in Poké philia and the community?
I'm curious, how did you initially stumble upon Poké philia?
Pulling from self knowledge, Pokémon in the show, manga, and games, are portrayed as having a much higher thought capacity than normal run of the mill animals do. That being said, is consent something that is a part of Poké philia? Like is it mentioned or implied?
You mention trainers and their Poké mon, but are stories or fiction only restricted between a trainer and their Poké mon team, or their Poké mon with each other, or can it include non-trainers and wild Poké mon?
Yes! There's a ton of fiction involving non-trainers and wild Poké mon. It's all pretty common across the board.
Now, some people may argue that Poké philia is no different than furries, or that Poké -philia is a category of the Furry Fandom. What is your argument against those claims?
That is a fantastic explanation. Thank you. I'd like to do something before we wrap up. I'd like to know a little bit more about how Poké philia has affected you personally and also I'd like to know a bit more about your persona. But first, how has, if at all, Poké philia affected your life?
And as for your team, do you have one and whom does it consist of?
Do you favor any one of them over others?
When black people with afros grow up, we are taught to feel ashamed of our hair. For me, no one specifically said that my hair was unflattering, but everyone implied it. My friends would ask me why my hair didn’t look like theirs. Strangers would approach me and touch my hair before introducing themselves, assuming my hair was soft only to find an unmanaged, crunchy mess that they trapped their fingers in uninvited.
When I was in elementary school, I lived with my father — who is white — and he didn’t know how to take care of his own hair, let alone mine. So I often showed up to school with the top of my head as horizontally flat as a table. It was a regular occurrence for me to be called into the principal’s office because the adults at my school assumed things weren’t well at home, with only my tragic hair as proof.

While there were not many people around me with afros outside of my family, there were even less people with afros in the television shows and movies I turned to for entertainment. There are more white people represented in the media than black people, especially black people with afros. Whether it was blonde, black, brown or red, all of my media influences had silky hair that most often flowed to a long, breezy length, a length that my hair has never achieved without extensions. From what I remember, the people in the media that did have afros were black but were usually shown as destitute, ratchet antagonists to the protagonist with flowing, magnificent locks.

But whether or not people of my race — mulatto — had afros in the few times they were shown in the media, I learned everything I once knew about taking care of my hair from my mother. I’ve lived with my mother — who is black — since I was 13. While my hair had come a long way from the tabletop style of my elementary days, my hair was still crunchy, short and falling out because she didn’t know how to take care of her own afro. Though she had grown up in a different generation, my mom’s media influences were the same as mine. And she grew up with parents that also didn’t know how to take care of their hair.

For the majority of my life, I’ve lived with crunchy, short, dry afro hair that broke off easily the more I tried to style it. I’ve relaxed , straightened and picked my hair. I had grown up learning to do everything that’s wrong for my hair because I was told that these things would take care of it, or at least make it look similar to the fashion icons we had in the media, who were mostly white with silky, long hair.

Relaxing your hair is when you put chemicals in it that immediately give your scalp, forehead and neckline the sensation of knives piercing through your skin to try and puncture your skull. It’s a contemporary torture device intended to make curly — or in my case, crunchy — hair easier to straighten, and it’s something I’ve been subjected to many times throughout my 19 years.
I feel my story reflects that of many black and mulatto women with afros. It’s the lifelong struggle of discovering how to care for our thick hair, and then the journey to embracing our afro head. My journey has been short in comparison to some women, but it has been no less difficult.

In fact, in my senior year of high school, I got into the habit of shaving my hair off. There was still hair all over my head, but it was extremely short and much easier to brush. My hair wasn’t breaking off anymore because there wasn’t enough length for it to break off. While it gave me a very androgynous look, my hair was finally the soft afro that I had worked my entire life to achieve.

The last time I shaved my head was the day before I flew out to Vermont for college. I had the intention of shaving my hair this final time and taking care of it while at school so that it would grow to a length where I could relax and straighten it again. But when I got to Vermont, I couldn’t find any hair products that were intended for afros, so I relied on Suave and other name-brand hair products that promise to get rid of moisture.

Then I met a friend who I’ll call Amber. Amber is half-black and half-white like myself, although her parents are the reverse race to mine, so her mother is white and her father is black. She grew up relying on her mother to teach her how to take care of her hair. And because her mother is white, she knew about as much about how to take care of Amber’s hair as my mother knew how to take care of mine.

Growing up, Amber endured the same struggle I did. But somewhere along the way, she learned that she had been doing all the wrong things to her hair. While products such as Suave and Garnier are usually intended to get rid of moisture, which is a common problem I hear my white friends discussing, people with afros are supposed to lock in moisture because our hair naturally lacks it. Amber eventually discovered such products as Shea Moisture and the ORS Olive Oil lines that are marketed for black and mulatto individuals to maintain our hairstyles, whether that be afro, weave, or any other hairstyle black men and women choose to rock.

Amber and I met in January 2016. One of the first things we talked about — as is normal for most black and mulatto women — was our hair. She asked me what products I used, and at the time I was using Suave. She started laughing at me. After her outburst of giggles subsided she explained to me how Suave takes out moisture and our hair needs to keep it in. She directed me toward the brands I’ve discussed above. She also informed me that our college’s bookstore was bringing in an entire section that was dedicated to people with hair like ours. One side of the cosmetics display would have the products that I was so used to putting in my hair, and another section would have products that would actually help my hair.

When this display was put in, I was extremely happy, and so was every black and mulatto person I talked to about the display at my school. Here was finally a place in Vermont I could purchase products that would make my hair thick, strong, soft and long — everything I’d always wanted my hair to be but could never achieve.

(I did an interview with Dr. Rosalynne Whitaker-Heck who initiated the process of getting these products in the bookstore. You can watch that interview here . It begins 2:22 into the video).
Since then, the bookstore has expanded the display and has added many more products and brands for us to purchase, and my hair has never looked and felt better. My hair is much longer than it has ever been, though it still does not pass my shoulders. It is incredibly thick, which I love, it is softer than any fabric a blanket can be made from, and it is stronger than I could have ever hoped it would be.

Media influences and many of the people surrounding me are still mostly white, so I’m routinely bombarded with pressures to make my hair as long, as thin and as silky as the women I see on Netflix or YouTube. But the other day I was putting the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie into my hair and running my fingers through it, and it was the first time that I was proud of my hair. Although it’s been a lifelong struggle and continues to be one, my hair has made me more conscious of advertisements, and has caused me to form strong bonds with other women of my race and hair type.

The struggle continues, but I’ve finally learned to embrace my afro hair, and that’s a gift I wish for all black and mulatto children and adults still struggling to find the products that work for them.

Some of these places are making me feel like i need to book flights immediately

I sat down this evening to tell you all about Australia; the incredible time I spent gallivanting around Queensland, holding koalas, basking in Byron Bay, drinking with locals in Brisbane, touring the opera house in Sydney. However, I found myself distracted by what you may ask? I couldn’t seem to stop thinking about my wonderful host, Amos’, gorgeous accent. Yea, you heard me.

Listen, ladies, I get it: that boy you swiped right on is super cute and from your first few messages seems really great, but hear me when I say this: D on't let him in easy .

The National Football League is possibly the most polarizing sports league in the country. With amazing games happening every Sunday, the NFL has become known for its dynamic players who can make big plays and deliver big hits on the field.
