Fetishes

Everybody has something they like to think about when masturbating.  Maybe you like feet, or spanking, or something darker.  This is what is broadly known as a fetish.  It’s what helps tip us over the edge in self-gratification, or played out in fantasy roles with our partners.  Unfortunately for most people their fetish is kept as a secret as they feel that others might not accept what turns them on. 

There are a lot of people out there that might not even realise they have a fetish.  This is due to the stigma attached to the word.  You mention it and immediately an image pops into your mind of a dungeon with some bloke tied up and being whipped by a midget dressed in rubber.  If that’s your kind of kink well great, but that’s not the whole picture when it comes to fetishism.

Just having a thing for breasts is a fetish too, and that doesn’t sound offbeat or so kinky you wouldn’t there.  Some of the most normal things that turn us on fall under the banner of having a fetish.  Here are the top ten fetishes out there today.  You may be surprised what you will find on this list.

1. Stomachs. They say if you’ve got it then flaunt it, and this doubles if you love the feel of a sexy rigid six-pack.  Or not, but some people out there just can’t get enough of that middle region of our bodies.
2. Piercing.  We don’t just stick holes in our ears anymore. Oh no we are sticking holes in any part of the body we can. From our eyebrows right down to our genitals, people are poking holes in themselves for beauty and sexual stimulation.  We don’t pierce our tongues just because we can right?
3. Latex, leather and rubber.  The biggest thing about these 3 materials is no matter how you design the outfit; it will never look good unless it is skintight.  This is a huge turn on for men and women alike.  To see a body clad in latex creates a sense of mystery for the viewer as their minds wander about what’s under all that latex.
4. Domination.  There are 2 sides to this one. You are either dominant or submissive, and both of these can be a role reversal from our working lives.  For example, you might be an executive in a large company and have great responsibility in your work.  Playing a submissive role for someone like that is liberating, as they have no responsibility to handle, they just do what they get told to do by their master or mistress. 
5. Feet.  This is quite a popular fetish.  Feet are just an extra tool for love making according to its followers.  They are licked or used in foreplay.
6. Lipstick/ fingernails.  Lipstick for some men can be a huge turn on.  Just the thought of the mark it is going to leave on them just about puts them over the edge.  The same goes for a good raking of the fingernails down your back.
7. Hair.  The trends today are more towards a clean shave, but there are still people out there that scream for bush. 
8. Water.  Having sex in a pool or spa bath is a big turn on for those who like to get wet while getting down and dirty.
9. Golden showers.  Very different to most fetishes, golden showers involve urinating on your partner.  It’s a bit of a dominance thing really, and can be enjoyed by both partners
10. Voyeurism.  Watching someone, or being watched is one of the most popular fetishes around.  Where do you think the porn movie industry came from?

These are just a few fetishes out there, but whatever drives you crazy for love is basically a fetish.  We shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed (unless its completely illegal and disturbing) but embrace these thoughts and urges and try to incorporate them into our love making when we can.
