Generally things that don't cause pain or belittle a person are turn-ons. Fetishes, I don't know. Maybe oral sex. If it's not a fetish, it's definitely a turn on. I guess another is I like seeing ladies undressing and fondling guys (pictures or my wife doing it with me) and, guys tenderly undressing and fondling ladies.

I've heard a lot of preferences, but no fetishes, as I understand them.

My understanding of a fetish is something without which it doesn't happen, or happens in a vastly inferior experience.

I think you're right, OF. I really don't think I have any true fetishes. Good point.

As I suspected:

a sexual fetish is linked to a 'non-sexual' part of the body or inanimate object, therefore a love of nipples or arses cannot be considered a fetish. If you were inexplicably aroused by a woman whose body was, say, covered in beermats for example, then THAT would be a fetish.

I found myself nodding in agreement throughout most of your list. The main fetishes are definately shared completely. The seasonal ones, less so. Glasses on girls/guys is definately a turn on.

And the peeing fetish is something I've often been interested in. I'm not sure whether I'd fully enjoy it but I want to try it sometime, understand it better.

I have a strange... well since the definition of "fetish" has been explicitly stated I'll have to call it... an "attraction", to guys being sexually involved with each other. Seeing a guy give another guy a bj, or anything along those lines, really seems to get me hot, fast.

i think in general conversation, any compulsion or hang-up a person has about a body part, object, physical characteristic or sex act can be called a fetish.

but even the "less general" people, like shrinks and sexologists, have some disagreement about the terms sexual fetishism (different from just plain fetishism) and paraphilia, i.e. whether it can only be an inanimate object, a practice that is just considered unusual in said fetishists culture, something that must be used if the fetishists is going to feel any sort of gratification, something that is harmful or dysfunctional, or whether it's just that little bit of extra kink some of us crave, whether it needs to be a hang-up for a long period of time, say longer than a year, or if it can just be something we get off on only for a little while, etc.

in the strictest sense, definitions of (just plain)fetishism even apply to religion, idolatry, totemism, vodoo … there's even commodity fetishism (a term karl marx coined as a sort of ironic description of the social importance capitalist societies place on property and other inanimate objects.)

anyway, we’re just a bunch of pervs shootin the shit so, speaking for myself, i think fetish is a perfectly acceptable term to describe anything that gets you off just that little bit more than the "normal" genital stimulation. this is just my two cents, not meant to be confrontational.

Lou,

What's not to love with a woman covered in beer mats?

I wouldn't describe my wants, needs & desires as fetishes. They're more like "cravings". I don't know that any are unusual, though I suppose that depends on who I'm talking to. What is an entertainable concept here is shockingly unacceptable in some venues, though most likely taking place under cover of darkness.

I've made no secret of my love of licking a cum-filled vagina, but it's not something that I pine away my days desiring. It's something I get in the mood for.

I love pampering Mrs. WI's feet and I've had them bring me to orgasm a few times. I've become suprisingly (and very strongly) aroused while helping her try on a pair of sandals. I enjoy giving her gentle foot rubs and have been known to place soft kisses about them. My cum across her painted toenails is quite sexy in my mind. But I don't want every sexual encounter to be focused on or necessarily even include footplay. It's an arsenal in my cache of sexual weapons.

Everyone knows I really love breasts, and large diameter & pale nipples as well. Kissing them and watching the areola crinkle up as the nipple rises...wow, it's surreal. Climaxing upon them and then bringing her to orgasm with my hands while continuing to kiss them is very gratifying to both of us. But we each need to be in the mood for it.

I've been interested in watching Mrs. WI pee, but I don't necessarily crave for her to urinate on me. Like ReaperWoman, it's just something I'm interested in learning more about.

I long to be tied down and sexually teased. I want you to hover your panty clad pussy inches from my nose, my tongue. I want to see wisps of pubic hair peaking from the edges, and smell the strong musk of your femininity. I want to see you reach into your panties and touch yourself, then remove your hand and waft it over my tongue...making me strain for the slightest taste of your wetness. When you tire of this game, lower yourself onto me and let me worry your panties aside to get to my treasure. When I've had my thirst quenched, you can begin your onslaught on my genitals. Bring me to the brink of climax and deny my release. Rub your nipples on my cock and lick them both together. Bring me back to the edge and change your mind yet again. Make me scream for it! And give it to me.

I guess the best way to describe it is that I desire the satisfaction of my cravings, fetishes or not.
