UK
Messy Bessy
The Brits are well known for their lust for corporal punishment, but what's less known here is that our pals across the pond are also proponents of so-called messy sex. Using slimy goop like pudding, mud, lather and beans (remember Tommy?), "sploshers" believe that the wetter the sex, the better. Some enthusiasts prefer edible messes (custard pies, chocolate cakes), while others opt for paints or mud. Though technically soppy rather than sloppy, another group likes nothing more than a fully clothed romp in the shower. MAGAZINE: Splosh!

Japan
Come on Eileen!
With mainstream comics like Rapeman and vending machines stocked with pant-ies previously worn by schoolgirls, Japan may be gunning for Most Perverted Nation status. (Oddly enough by Western standards, pubic hair in porn is taboo.) Translating loosely to "heavy squirt," the bukkake subgenre features anywhere from one to dozens of men wanking off onto a woman's face, hair and body.

But bukkake isn't just for breeders; gay boys and the occasional ejaculating dyke also get in on the action. And, just as sushi grew popular in other parts of the world, bukkake is on its way to becoming a cross-cultural phenom.

Brazil
Treasured trannies
A country with no fewer then three mainstream magazines devoted to the art of plastic surgery, as well as vacation packages specifically geared toward foreigners flying in for bargain-rate boob jobs, Brazil has the world's highest per-capita rate of nip-and-tuck. With resources like that, it stands to figure that the country's she-males are a cut above those found almost anywhere else. Roberta Close (né Luíz Roberto Gambine Moreira) is by far the most famous of her homeland's travestis, having won the title of Miss Gay Brazil while still a pre-op. Her surgically enhanced snipped sisters—when not working the streets of Rio's expansive Lapa district—can be found starring in all sorts of naughty flicks.

Germany
Kaviar
The country that gave us Adolf Hitler and the cute little Volkswagen Beetle has a dirty little secret: a predilection for scat—and we're not talking jazz. In fact, travel website Gridskipper named Berlin the world's most fetish-friendly city, no doubt due in part to a popular hot spot that features a "kaviar" night every month. If you were thinking it's a celebration of fish eggs, you'd be wrong. No, this is where coprophiliacs gather to smear, eat and just plain luxuriate in er, solid waste matter. Sure, shit play is poopular in other parts of the planet, but the Germans seem to have a special fondness for feces.

Italy
Sister act
It's only natural that a nation whose population is roughly 90 percent Catholic would get its kicks religiously, which is why so many Italians were disappointed when it was revealed that the hunky gents adorning the best-selling young-priest-of-the-month "Calendario Romano" were models. The fetishization of the frocked came to light in the '70s and '80s with a B-movie genre called "nunsploitation." While the flicks featured frolicking sisters having all manner of naked fun, the websites (the preferred '00s medium) are a bit more profane. But blasphemy is still against the law in Italy, so the "Pig Madonna" webmaster may be facing some jail time.
