The sexual attraction to trees, shrubs, bushes, etc.
So you like your tree...a lot. There are people out there that would prefer to have a tree as a spouse then a person. Some people will talk to their trees, read to them, whisper sweet nothings and make love to them. Some of the risks (besides being embarrassed if you're caught) are sap, chafing, splinters, insects, etc.

The desire to have sex with animals
Zoophilia is the sexual and romantic love of animals. This is also called bestiality and is usually illegal. And it is more popular then you think, just google it.

Some people are very attracted to fur, going beyond the love of a fur coat. Doraphilia is not the enjoyment of wearing a fur coat. It becomes a part of sex, usually rubbed or worn during the act or is the focus of the sexual act.

Costumes and Make Believe Fetishes
Fursuit Fetish
The desire to have sex dressed up as animals
Some people like to dress up as animals and have sex. There are often conventions or gatherings where people can meet in their costumes and have sex. Just to note, apparently the costumes are expensive and quite hot inside and have strategically placed holes. This sometimes evolves from Plushophilia (see above).
Ponyplay or Ponism or Petplay
The desire to be treated like an animal
Some people want to be treated like animals, they want to be given orders, fed, groomed, and be the submissive. There are different roles in Ponyplay. One is to be the horse the "riding pony", this person allows the other person to ride them like a horse. A "cart pony" is someone who acts as a horse and pulls the other person around in a small riding cart. The "show pony" acts as a horse who is groomed and given commands. Safety is very important, especially if the "pony" is smaller then the "owner". Make sure you have a safe word and practise before you go all out.
