What are fetishes?

Fetishes are sexual preferences or interests that relate to certain objects, materials, body parts or practices that are considered unusual or taboo by society. A fetish can be anything from items of clothing such as leather or latex to certain body features such as feet or hair.

Fetishes can take a variety of forms and can occur in both men and women. Some of the most common types of fetishes include shoes, stockings, underwear, leather and latex. Others may focus on specific body features such as feet, hands, hair or eyes. There are also fetishes that relate to specific practices such as BDSM or role play.
