Sexual fetishism or erotic fetishism is a sexual fixation on an item, object or body part. In technical terms the item of interest itself is called the fetish and the person who has a fetish for that object is a fetishist. In non technical terms it's the thing that turns you on and you've hot the hots for it. A sexual fetish is an aid to sexual excitement. Paraphilia (previously known as sexual perversion and sexual deviation) is the experience of intense sexual arousal to atypical objects, situations, fantasies, behaviors, or individuals. Sexual arousal from a particular body part is also called partialism. The word fetish is used to refer to any sexually arousing stimuli, and the broader usage of the term fetish covers parts or features of the body including body modifications, objects, situations and activities such as smoking or BDSM.
You probably have, we all 'probably' have one to some degree - what turns someone on might not be to someone else's taste. What you can be sure of is that you're probably not alone and your particular fetish is probably being enjoyed by someone else right now.
Some of the more widely known or 'popular' ones first :-
Mazophilia - Breast fetish - Breast fetishism (also known as mastofact, breast partialism, or mazophilia) is an extremely popular and highly atypical sexual interest focused on female breasts.
Scientists have hypothesized that sexual attraction to breasts is the result of their function as a secondary sex characteristic. For instance, zoologist and ethologist Desmond Morris theorises that breast cleavage is a sexual signal that imitates the image of the cleft between the buttocks, which according to Morris in The Naked Ape is also unique to humans. Not sure about that but either sounds nice, whether you're a tits or arse man, their physical similarities seem to have a similar effect on the todger.
Exhibitionism - Exhibitionism is the act of exposing in a public or semi-public context those parts of one's body that are not normally exposed – for example, the breasts, genitals or buttocks.
Alvinophilia - Navel or Belly Button fetish - Navel fetishism, belly button fetishism, or alvinophilia to give it it's technical term, is a partialism in which an individual is sexually attracted to the human navel. A navel fetishist can be sexually aroused by a variety of stimuli, including key words, thoughts or specific forms of physical interaction with the navel or belly button.
Some navel fetishists find physical acts involving the navel to be turn-ons. Physical acts can include licking the navel with the tongue or rubbing body lotion or suntan oil. Some fetishists get a turn-on from pouring drops of champagne, honey, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, etc., into and around the navel and then licking or sucking it up. Similarly, licking or rolling the tongue into the navel while underwater can produce erotic sensations. An ice cube when rubbed over or rested over the navel can produce erotic sensations.
The navel is an erogenous zone with a heightened sensitivity. The navel and the region below when touched by the finger or the tip of the tongue result in the production of erotic sensations, and some people are very ticklish to touch in that area. Some people can be aroused by tickling, licking, blowing raspberries/zerberts (blowing air with lips), and teasing with a feather, flower or a piece of grass, especially when the person is ticklish in the navel. Fingering the navel is also a common act. This attention is usually directed at a partner's navel,but may include a fixation on the fetishist's own navel.
Some navel fetishists can be aroused by viewing a navel. In the case of a heterosexual man, women in bikini is one such example. Also women dressed in low-rise clothing like jeans, shorts etc., that reveals the navel is also considered sexually arousing. Belly dancers often have navel piercings or insert sequins into their navels to make it look attractive when they perform. Many young women also have them to add a charm to their navels and such decorations also arouse when seen. Sometimes just the thought of the navel is enough to stimulate excitement and some navel fetishists sexually fantasize about performing physical acts on a person's navel to attain sexual pleasure.
Alvinolagnia - Belly or Stomach fetish - It's not just the navel but the whole belly that excites some fetishists. Alvinolagnia or belly fetish or stomach fetish is a partialism in which an individual is sexually attracted to the stomach or belly. Some fetishists get a turn-on from touching or rubbing the belly region. Some people wear accessories like belly chains, navel piercings, tattoos etc., to enhance the appearance of the belly.
Navel piercing and navel tattoos have become more common among young women. The trend of piercing or tattooing the navel became popular in the 1990s. It is also popular among middle-aged women. Some belly chains attach to a navel piercing; they are called "pierced belly chains". Similar to navel piercings, hip piercings are also popular among women to express a bold personality.
Some get stomach tattoos to attract attentionand some women get tattoos drawn on their lower backs and flaunt them in low-rise jeans, shorts or skirts.
Sometimes, looser clothing such as scarves or skirts around the female waist and curves can be an incredible turn-on. Scarves wrapped around the waist are common among belly dancers.
Masochism - Willingly receiving pain, suffering or humiliation; being beaten, bound or otherwise abused. Intense sexual arousal in response to enduring pain, suffering, or humiliation.
Podophilia - Foot fetish - A very popular kink, foot fetishism has been defined as a pronounced sexual interest in feet. Extensions of this fetish include a liking for shoes and tickling. For a foot fetishist, points of attraction include the shape and size of feet and toes e.g. long toes, short toes, painted toenails, high arches, soles etc.
Foot jewellery (e.g., toe rings, anklets, etc.) Foot treatments (such as massaging, washing partner's feet, or painting partner's toenails) State of dress (barefoot, flip flops, sandals, high heels, hosiery, socked feet, etc.) Smell or odour, and/or sensory interaction (e.g., rubbing the foot, tickling, smelling, kissing, biting, licking, sucking toes, rubbing genitals on foot, etc.).
Pygophilia - Buttocks fetish - Who doesn't love the sight of a nice round arse. A buttocks fetish or buttocks partialism refers to a condition wherein the buttocks becomes a primary focus of sexual attention. It may be associated with coprophilia, panty fetishism, eproctophilia, and sadomasochistic corporal punishment involving the buttocks. Sexualization of the buttocks has occurred throughout history, especially of the female gender. Not too sure of the technicalities but what is sure is that catching sight of a lovely arse does lead to 'sexual arousal caused by the buttocks'.
Wet and messy fetishism - Wet and messy fetish (WAM), also known as sploshing, is a form of sexual fetishism whereby a person becomes aroused when copious amounts of a substance are applied to the naked skin, face, or to clothing. Many people with splosher fetishes are drawn to the tactile sensations of wet or messy substances against their skin. Other individuals simply prefer the sight of others getting messy or wet. A subject will often be pelted with cream pies (sometimes using shaving foam rather than real cream pie filling), have slime dumped on them, or sit on cakes. Another common theme is the pouring of substances inside clothing while it is being worn; clothing chosen for this can vary from swimsuits or underwear to full outfits. Messy substances most commonly focused on by WAM and sploshing participants include whipped cream, raw eggs, milk, lotion, paint, oil, mud, pudding, chocolate sauce, fruit juice, beer, shaving foam, custard, baked beans, treacle, ketchup, ice cream, peanut butter, slime, and cake batter, among others.
Sadism - Sexual sadism is the condition of experiencing sexual arousal in response to the pain, suffering or humiliation of others (the willing recipient is called a 'masochist). Several other terms have been used to describe the condition, and the condition may overlap with other conditions that involve inflicting pain. It is distinct from situations in which consenting individuals use mild or simulated pain or humiliation for sexual excitement.
Trichophilia - Hair fetish - Hair fetishism, also known as hair partialism and trichophilia, is when a person sees hair, most commonly head hair, as particularly erotic and sexually arousing. Arousal may occur from seeing or touching hair, whether head hair, pubic hair, axillary hair, chest hair or fur. Head-hair arousal may come from seeing or touching very long or short hair, wet hair, certain colors of hair or a particular hairstyle. Pubic hair fetishism is a particular form of hair fetishism.
Haircut fetishism is a related paraphilia in which a person is aroused by having their head hair cut or shaved, by cutting the hair of another, by watching someone get a haircut, or by seeing someone with a shaved head or very short hair. The excitement can arise from the texture, color, hairstyle and hair length. Among the most common variants are excitation by long hair and short hair, the excitement of blonde hair (blonde fetishism) and red hair (redhead fetishism) and the excitement of the different textures of hair (straight, curly, wavy, etc.). Hair fetishism manifests itself in a variety of behaviors. A fetishist may enjoy seeing or touching hair, pulling on or cutting the hair of another person. Besides enjoyment they may become sexually aroused from such activities. This fetish seems to affect both men and women.
Voyeurism - Watching others while naked or having sex - also known as scopophilia or scoptophilia. Voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other actions usually considered to be of a private nature. The voyeur does not normally interact directly with the subject of his/her interest. The essence of voyeurism is the observing but may also involve the making of a photograph or video of the subject during an intimate activity.
Quirofilia - Hand fetish - Hand fetishism or hand partialism or also called Quirofilia is the sexual fetish for hands. This may include the sexual attraction to a specific area such as the fingers, palm or nails, or the attraction to a specific action performed by the hands; which may otherwise be considered non-sexual—such as washing or drying dishes. This fetish may manifest itself as a desire to experience physical interaction, or as a source of sexual fantasy.
A hand fetish is a sexual attraction to the hands. This attraction is most commonly expressed with fingering, handjobs, sucking on the fingers and licking the palms. Fingering and Handjobs are an extremely common sexual act, so are not always linked to hand fetishism. However, fingering and handjobs play a major role in hand fetishism. Fingernail fetishism, a sub-type of hand fetishism is often expressed with scratching with the fingernails and painting the fingernails.
