When you look beyond the world of “classic sex”, there is another world of fetishes. Fetishes are defined as an obsession with a specific act or feeling that generates arousal. These come in many forms. Some are basic, like foot or hand fetishes, while others involve intense role-playing. These are the most secret types of fetishes. They involve slavery, domination and/or parenting by a person to the person who has the fetish.
Bondage is one of the most active types of fetishes. Many couples enjoy light bondage at home during sex. This involves tying one or both hands and/or feet to a bedpost or blindfolding a person. The idea behind slavery is that one person is in full or partial control of the other. There is a great deal of excitement with having full control or no control at all. Some people can play both the submissive and the dominant roles, while others only experience arousal from one role or the other. There are other people who like to be completely bound, gagged, and possibly even tortured. While the fetish world is most often portrayed as men being dominated by female lovers, there are also women who enjoy this particular fetish.
Dominance fetishes involve two roles and can incorporate other fetishes. Acts of servitude are considered domination; however, role-play can be done with teacher/student, parent/child, or boss/employee scenarios. Typically, during these sessions, the “servant” will perform whatever “duty” he is told to do. Usually an “encouragement” is included, such as spanking, gagging, or other forms of light torture. The couple can perform fetish scenarios at home, but most turn to fetish dungeons to satisfy their arousal needs. Fetish domains can be found online and their location is revealed to the client when an appointment is confirmed. There is no sex involved when a person chooses to visit one of these facilities; the acts are strictly for excitement purposes. Some also specialize in certain types of lovers (Asian, plus size, etc.) and offer unique styles of torture (electric shock, mummification, etc.).
Parenting fetishes are drastically different from bondage and domination fetishes. Usually these center around the idea of ​​reconnecting with an estranged parent or lover. Some of these involve a person as a “horse” or other animal as the companion. Another common parenting fetish involves a person acting as a parent to another person wearing diapers, pretending to breastfeed, and being cared for.
Indulging in one type of fetish does not make a person “weird” or some kind of “freak.” If anything, it identifies the people who are comfortable enough with their sexuality and what turns them on to embrace a different kind of sexual stimulation.
