Entering The World Of Sexual Fethishism
Sexual Fetishism has been around for eons. However, human beings often misjudged them. As a result, sexual stimulation via unconventional methods became a taboo subject. However, social awakening and sexual positivity are breaking down the general notions of fetishism. As a result, it is time that we start looking at human sexual activity as a non-tabboo subject.
A Sexual fetish is best explained as a tendency to receive sexual stimulation due to and because of unconventional means. This might sound vague at the moment. However, just trust me and take this journey. You will not regret it.
According to psychology, a sexual fetish works like a sexual trigger. This trigger allows an individual to feel sexually aroused or reach the climax. As a result, the individual might want it during sex or while masturbating. In fact, it functions a lot like other emotional triggers. As a result, psychologists have inferred that these sexual triggers are mental in nature.
Some Common Fetishes
A sexual fetish is not a singular being. It is like a spectrum. While learning about sexual fetishes, you will come across several sexual triggers. In fact, study shows that the list of sexual fetishes is a long one. According to Richard Krueger, MD, sexual fetishes can be broadly classified as “anything you could imagine.”
It is very important to know some of the most common fetishes before we start diving deeper into the main subject of this article.
According to some studies, the most common fetishes include body parts like naval, specific piercings, feet, etc. Sometimes, it can also include body features like obesity, dwarfism, or macrophilia. Subsequently, it can also include certain materials like leather, rubber, fur, etc. Finally, fetishes can also include behaviors like BDSM or bondage, where an individual is subjected to pain or is bound with ropes as a means of sexual arousal.
Are They Okay?
Society might preach otherwise, but having a sexual fetish is not a disorder. However, you need to make this statement more objective manner. Having an unconventional sexual trigger is not a bad thing. In fact, having a kink or a fetish enriches the whole experience.
According to experts, a sexual fetish cannot be called a disorder. However, if the sexual fetish involves dangerous behavior and objects, then it can become concerning. Otherwise, it is perfectly normal for a person to have a sexual fetish.
