We all have intense attractions to a particular object or body part – something that increases our arousal or is necessary for our sexual satisfaction. Just about anything you can think of can be a fetish and probably is for someone out there. Most fetishes are harmless unless they begin to interfere and destroy relationships and your life.
While there are some truly strange things that get people off, there are fetishes that many of us share and that are easy to find and enjoy. An everyday fetish is one that we may run into by accident, something that can be a pleasant distraction that may require attention later on.
Voyeurism
For some, the only way to get turned on, or even to masturbate, is by watching porn or their partner engaging in a little exhibitionism. This is more common with men, but what works is that most women enjoy being watched. I’ll admit, I don’t need porn to get aroused, but I can’t watch porn without wanting to touch myself.
Piercings and Tattoos
These seem to turn most people on, especially those under forty. With the increased popularity of both in the last twenty years, it’s hard not to find someone without metal or ink in them. The process of piercing and tattooing can also be part of the fetish. On the flip side, there are men who have a thing for women that are “free” of any holes or marks on her body.
Hair
Most men have a hair type they’re into, whether it be long, dark, red, short, curly, or straight. A fetish for hair can also include touching, washing, styling, or pulling. For women, we all have a preference of men’s facial hair. Somewhere along the line, I found myself only wanting to sleep with guy’s with stubble – the clean cut look just doesn’t work for me. And let’s not forget about the hair down there. Even though it seems more and more women are going bare, there’s still plenty of men who like the bush.
Shoes and Feet
Women love to have shoes, but that’s an obsession. It’s the men with the fetish – high heels, open toes, and knee-high boots rank high in the titillation department. The ultimate turn on is often a woman wearing nothing but stillettos in bed. And let’s not forget about what’s in the shoes. Lots of men can’t wait for summer when they can browse anonymously at women’s feet. This is definitely a common fetish, I’ve dated plenty of men who want to suck, nibble, lick, massage, and admire my feet, and I have no problem with this.
Leather
Whether it’s a black leather jacket, chaps, boots, gloves, or cuff restraints, this fetish is huge. There are clubs and groups devoted entirely to leather, a material that seems always associated with sex. Any piece of clothing is available in leather as are many sex toys. Maybe it’s the bad boy/girl association, the way it feels against the skin, or the animal nature that makes this irresistible.
