I have a foot fetish, but I suppose I’d settle for maybe seven or eight inches.
What’s your fetish?
Does eating macaroni off your lover’s belly button turn you on?
Do you quiver from the very thought of your lover in a judge’s robe hitting you with a gavel?
You may be weird, but you’re not alone. In fact, fetishes are more common than a child star from the ’80s ending up in jail.
Since fetishes range from mild (an “ass-man”) to very extreme (50 ways to include peanut butter in bed), everyone has at least one sexual fetish.
According to Dr. Susan Block, in her lecture, “Fetishes 101” at USC, fetishes are thought of as a common way to spice up our sex lives.
Joan Rivers once said, “It’s so long since I’ve had sex, I’ve forgotten who ties up whom.”
Not only do we all have a sexual fetish, but they are like the cast members of “Real World” — no two are alike.
Curious about the things LSU students do when the doors are closed? I asked fellow students about their fetishes.
And let’s just say LSU students put the “grrr” in “tiger.”
“I wish my girlfriend would handcuff me,” one guy told me. “I know my fetish is widely used, but the thought of it pitches my tent.”
Dr. Block also says, “Fetishes stem from our childhood or intense personal experiences that left an impression.”
I guess the bondage fetish takes the childish game of “cops and robbers” to an adult level — Peter Pan is not the only one who doesn’t want to grow up.
I wonder what kind of personal experiences using your lover’s chest as a toilet stem from…
Others ask their lover to wear “costumes” such as high heels, chastity belts, or diapers — I’m not mentioning names.
What’s the prognosis for that?
Dr. Block also says, “Fashion can be a source of fetishes, and fetishes can be very fashionable.” — Where’s Joan Rivers’ comment on that?
Although your mother probably always told you never to play with your food, another popular fetish is the use of food in the bedroom.
I’ve heard men enjoy sex in the same way they enjoy food (fast), but turning your end table into the produce section is a whole other level.
Does this give Emeril’s “BAM” a deeper meaning?
Whatever your fetish is, Dr. Block says no one should have “fetish guilt,” and there is a whole Web site in support of sexual freedom: http://www.ncsfreedom.org.
And no matter what prop you use for your fetish, condoms should always be included because no one fetishizes (is that a word?) about STDs.
