Do you have a leg fetish?
Let’s take a look at the kink for legs, some related kinks, and most importantly—how to enjoy your leg fetish with some kinky leg play ideas.
What Is Crurophilia?
Crurophilia is the sexual fetish for legs. You may enjoy your leg fetish with intimate physical interaction with someone’s legs or you may just fantasize with what you admire from afar. There are so many beautiful legs out there to watch go by.
Crurophilia is a partialism, as it includes an attraction to a specific body part.
Most men who say they have a thing for women’s legs will not consider it a fetish, just another part of a woman’s body they like to look at and touch.
If they do refer to their interest as a fetish, they may have very specific ways of getting off. They may like the whole package, or there may be one part of the leg that really gets them going such as the thigh or knee or calf.
Why Do People Have Leg Fetish?
What makes a good set of gams is in the eye of the beholder. Some men like women with long, lean, toned legs while others prefer petite ladies with spindly legs. While shape tastes vary, from thick and curvy to sporty and muscular to thin and delicate, most leg fetishists prefer a long leg.
Some men prefer clean shaven and some men have a hairy fetish, though this is not as common.

Most fetishists will concur that the allure is seductive in nature as it is not a part of the body that is overtly sexy, like the breasts or buttocks, but just naturally sexy because of the shape and movement (e.g., a woman crossing her legs).
What kinds of clothes the legs are covered in matters to a fetishist too. Some men just love legs poured into a skin-tight pair of jeans, and we all know that yoga pants are not just popular because they are so comfortable. Short shorts and mini skirts show off as much of the leg as possible, with some guys drooling over bare legs and some preferring to see and feel legs in sheer stockings.
Leg Fetish Types & Crossover Kinks
Pantyhose Fetish
Pantyhose are one of the most popular fetishes that pair perfectly with a leg kink. The problem is, unless you’re dating a flight attendant you may be hard pressed to find a woman wearing these in her day to day. (They’re just not that comfortable, but many gals will don them in the bedroom if that’s your thing.)

Shoe & Foot Fetishes
Of course, a shoe fetish can work well with your love of legs, because heels help to accentuate the length of one’s legs, as well as present toned calves.
If you have a foot fetish and the legs attached are long and beautiful, you’ve hit the jackpot. In the summer months you can enjoy watching women walking by in open-toe sandals and shorts or skirts that reveal her legs. It’s an acceptable form of voyeurism to indulge in.

Leg Cast Fetish
Sometimes it’s not the legs themselves that fuel a kink for legs. Some are specifically aroused by legs in a cast, perhaps with a preference for full-leg casts.
Amputee Fetish
And sometimes the sexiest leg, is the one that isn’t there anymore.

7 Leg Fetish Play Ideas
1. Shave Her Legs
Have you ever shaved a woman’s legs? If she let’s you, it’s worth trying. Just ask her to give you a quick demo (some women like using shaving cream or soap along with a razor, others may use wax or creams to remove hair, and some prefer an electric razor.) You will be able to enjoy your handiwork by caressing her soft smooth skin after.

2. Give a Massage
I don’t know many women who would turn down a massage. Personally I love a full-body, and the legs feel wonderful when being rubbed, especially after a long day on one’s feet. Set a scene with candles and mood music, and use oils or lotions to give your lover a sexy rub down.
3. Undress Her
This will be especially tantalizing if she is wearing stockings, tights, or nylons that you can slowly roll down. Don’t just yank her pants off but kiss and caress her legs as they are revealed. When her legs are bare, spend some time admiring their beauty while stroking or kissing or moisturizing.

4. Let Her Legs Tease You
Have her tie you up, so that she can give you a striptease that will bring you to the brink. Edging a man is up there on my list of top turn-ons. And if having a woman rub herself against you half-naked, but not letting you touch yourself or her as much as you’d like, sounds exciting—it is!
5. Indulge in Sensory Play
Try blindfolding her before you use a variety of tools or substances to stimulate her with. You can run ice cubes up and down her legs or drizzle warm oils or wax for temperature play. You can use feather and silk scarves to tickle and tease. You can drip honey or chocolate or cream along her legs that you can lick off.

6. Play with Ropes
If you already love bondage, why not experiment with different ways to tie up your lover’s legs before dominating her.
This may mean tying her spread eagle on the bed or it could include advanced techniques that are more aesthetic in nature, like Shibari rope bondage.
7. Experiment with Body Paint
Another sensory type of play you can try is painting your partner’s legs—it can feel ticklish or soothing, depending on the types of strokes you use.
You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy decorating her legs with a creative flair, just be sure to use breathable paints if you are going to cover all of her legs or more. And don’t forget to take pictures of your work for the memories!
