I dont know about you guys, but I am totally fascinated with the idea of fetishes. I dont know what it is that intrigues me
like it does, but it does.
So when does something become a fetish? What is acceptable and what is totally outrageous? I have come to the source
of all wisdom to find out the answers to my questions.... the internet. Now, before you get the wrong idea I am not looking
up animal porn and domenatrix.com, to define fetish the first place I looked was the dictionary.
According to the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary (found at www.m-w.com):
Main Entry: feˇtish
Variant(s): also feˇtich /'fe-tish also 'fE-/
1 a : an object (as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner;
broadly : a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence
b : an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion
c : an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual
gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression
2 : a rite or cult of fetish worshipers
3 : FIXATION
So basically, a fetish (in relation to sex) is a thing that is needed to get you off. So, is something that turns you on
automatically a fetish? Judging from the Merriam-Webster definition I would say no. If there is something you NEED to see
or do during sex in order to "finish" then that is a fetish but not just things you like. BUT This is judging by the Merriam-
Webster definition, not word on the street. So what is the word on the street? Well, I went into a few chat rooms and asked
some random people and here are a few of the definitions I got:
Cuthah: Whats a fetish?
Micheal: something that ur addicted to doing
Cuthah: Whats a fetish?
DMK: a fetish is some kinky act that a person enjoys
Cuthah: Whats a fetish?
BoobieFace: I'm sure you know what a fetish is. A fetish is the liking or need for a particular object or activity which gives a person sexual pleasure and/or excitement.
Cuthah: Whats a fetish?
Belco: i guess something you really like to see or do. im not really sure exaclty. i guess it usually refers to something to do with sex.
Cuthah: Whats a fetish?
Benge: a fetish is a thing that turns a person on eg feet golden showers
From this, I have come to the conclustion that a fetish is something slightly abnormal that someone enjoys during sex.
I asked around more chatrooms and compiled a list of known fetishes:
Feet
Shoes
Dressups
Blood Lust
Bondage
Masochism
Sadism
Golden Showers
Animals
Handcuffs
Toys
Watching
Being watched
Oral
Anal
younger/older
BDSM
Family
Peircings
Leather
Pleather
PVC
Plastic
Monthly Blood
Orgies
Roleplay
Cherry Poping
Knives
Hampsters
Strangers
Public Places
Weird Positions
and a million and one other totally weird specific objects or fantasies that people find sexy. Some of them are weird, and
a few quite disturbingly WRONG but not all are totally freaky.
Personally, I dont think theres anything wrong with enjoying something like peircings or handcuffs or dressups or
weird positions, its just when things become illegal and dirty like incest and beastiality when its WRONG. So feel free to
enjoy yourself, order him around or dress up like a school girl, whatever it takes to get your rocks off I say!
