A fetish is defined as any inanimate object given unreasonable attention, or any part of the body not of a sexual nature that arouses erotic feelings.
A fetish is also when an individual is sexually aroused by a object or objects and is generally unable to achieve sexual satisfaction without that object being present. In the context of the website the most common fetishes are rubber and leather.
Many people in the community enjoy the thrill of wearing rubber without having a strictly
fetishistic attraction to it. Particularly people who are into BDSM use
fetish imagery to enhance their deeper sexual need for
dominance and submission.See Also
