Did you know that 45% of people have a sexual fetish? But over half of those people have never carried out their fantasies.

If you’re one of these people and are interested in learning more about fetishes, then this article is for you.

Some fetishes are caused by biology and others by environment. So you’re likely not alone in your sexual desires.

Here’s a list of fetishes popular around the world.

Foot Fetish

Foot fetishes are one of the most popular fetishes around the world. From foot massages to foot worship, around 1 in 7 people have sexual fantasies about feet.

One theory suggests that foot fetishes are a result of sensory input into the brain. The part of the brain responsible for genital stimulation is next to the part that processes foot stimulation and feeling.

This means that wires get crossed, and our brain associates feet with sexual pleasure. This is why, being a result of biology, foot fetishes come high on this list of fetishes.

High-Heel Shoe Fetish

The cousin of the foot fetish is the high-heal shoe fetish. It’s likely people experience a high-heel fetish for the same reasons as foot fetishes.

The way someone dresses can affect how attracted to them we are. So it’s unsurprising that wearing a pair of high-heels can increase sexual appeal.

People with a high-heel shoe fetish can enjoy it by looking at the shoes, listening to them, or using them as a sex toy. There are many other ways to enjoy a high-heel fetish. All ways are acceptable as long as they’re fun and safe.

Bondage

Another common sexual fetish is bondage. 36% of US adults use bondage or other BDSM toys during sex. This makes America one of the top countries for BDSM in the world.

Bondage is a popular fetish likely thanks to the primal attraction it elicits. When using bondage tools during sex, one person must dominate the other. This makes it somewhat animalistic.

Those who enjoy a sense of power can find an increased sexual drive in restricting their partner. It also helps to create a greater bond of trust between partners.

It’s recommended to use a safe word during bondage.

Sissification

Sissification is a form of BDSM. It’s a fetish typically associated with LBGTQ+ communities. Though it can be enjoyed by anyone.

Sissification involves one person playing the part of the ‘sissy’ and taking on feminine traits. It can be a great way for a person to explore their gender while satisfying sexual urges.

Fulling involving yourself in sissification can be a long process that requires guidance. For those interested, there are many resources available online to help. This includes sissy training.
