Episode 2: What is a fetish?

0:04 Speaker 1: Hey there, it's your girl, kay love and welcome to

0:06 Speaker 1: another episode of Taboo, Fetish or Kink. Today, we're delving

0:10 Speaker 1: into a subject that we get questions about all the time,

0:13 Speaker 1: sexual fetishes. We're talking what they are, why they happen,

0:18 Speaker 1: and which ones are the most common. So stick around

0:20 Speaker 1: because it's going to be an insightful ride. All right,

0:25 Speaker 1: So let's start with the basics. What exactly is a

0:28 Speaker 1: sexual fetish? Well, in simple terms, a fetish is when

0:32 Speaker 1: someone finds sexual excitement in response to an object or

0:35 Speaker 1: body part that's not typically considered sexual. We're talking about

0:40 Speaker 1: things like shoes, feet, or even certain fabrics. Interestingly, fetishes

0:44 Speaker 1: are more common in men than in women. Many people

0:46 Speaker 1: with fetishes feel they must have the object of their

0:49 Speaker 1: attraction at hand, or at least be fantasizing about it,

0:52 Speaker 1: in order to become sexually aroused, get an erection, and

0:56 Speaker 1: have an orgasm. Imagine someone holding, smelling, or even tasting

1:01 Speaker 1: the object while masturbating, or they might ask their partner

1:05 Speaker 1: to wear or use the object during sex for that

1:08 Speaker 1: extra kick. So which fetishes are the most common? According

1:12 Speaker 1: to a study, body parts top the list, specifically feet, feet.

1:16 Speaker 1: Fetishes really take the cake. But they're not alone. Other

1:20 Speaker 1: common fetishes involve body features like obesity, piercings or tattoos,

1:24 Speaker 1: body fluids, body size, and hair fetishes aren't too far

1:28 Speaker 1: behind either. Now, let's talk about things you wear. Close

1:32 Speaker 1: on the heels of body part fetishes, we have objects

1:35 Speaker 1: like clothes worn on the hips and legs, such as

1:38 Speaker 1: stockings and skirts. These are incredibly popular, and footwear and

1:42 Speaker 1: underwear aren't far behind. And it's not just about the look.

1:47 Speaker 1: The feel of certain materials like leather or rubber can

1:50 Speaker 1: also be a big turn on for some people. Ever

1:53 Speaker 1: heard of furries? Yep, some folks get a huge thrill

1:56 Speaker 1: from dressing themselves or their partners in furry animal costumes.

2:01 Speaker 1: But wait, our fetish is always problematic, well, not necessarily.

2:05 Speaker 1: Take adult baby diaper lovers, for example. A recent study

2:08 Speaker 1: found that among nearly one eight hundred men and one

2:11 Speaker 1: hundred and forty women who reported having this fetish, most

2:15 Speaker 1: said they were comfortable with it and didn't see it

2:17 Speaker 1: as a problem. How about BDSM, bondage discipline, dominance, submissions,

2:22 Speaker 1: sadism and masochism. Experts say that as long as everyone

2:26 Speaker 1: involved is in agreement and no one's getting hurt in

2:28 Speaker 1: an extreme or permanent way. It's all good. Consent and

2:32 Speaker 1: communication are key, all right, folks. That does it for

2:35 Speaker 1: today's deep dive into the world of sexual fetishes. It's

2:38 Speaker 1: been enlightening, to say the least. If you're curious to

2:41 Speaker 1: learn more, or if you have any questions, feel free
