Panty fetishism is a fetish relating to underwear, particularly worn or soiled underwear. It can also involve printed or electronic material depicting exposure of underwear.
Pornographic magazines in the West have long contained advertisements for "used" women's underwear. However, this fetish has been carried to extremes in Japan.
It is largely a male fetish, as reports of females being excited by panties are extremely rare. In some males the fetish is so strong the man cannot become fully aroused in the absence of the fetish object, in this case, panties. For some, they must be worn, for others they must be held separately, for others still different conditions.
The fetish may cover all types of panties, or particular sorts, for
example only black ones, or satin, lacy or thongs.Japanese panty fetish
Buru sera is a Japanese adopted term (ie, Engrish) from "bloomer sailor" -- a reference to the underwear of teenage schoolgirls in "sailor"-like uniforms. This fetish is expecially popular in Japan where female adolescence is perhaps more prominently revered as the idealized form of beauty than it is even in Western cultures.
The term refers to the sale and exchange of the panties of these
schoolgirls, as independent transactions between female and adult store
and the store and the buyer. Girls who participate in this business
will exchange their panties at adult stores on their way to school, and
returning them soiled for profit. The more soiled they are, the more
they will fetch at sale. Further increasing the value is attaching
girls picture or bio to the panties, personalizing them for the
consumer. At one point, such panties were even made for sale in vending
machines in the Chiba Prefecture, until they were found to be illegal
under "antiques-resale" legislation.Crotchless panties
One variant is '''crotchless panties''', which have a large hole over
the crotch allowing sexual intercourse without removing them. They may
be worn with stockings, which also do
not need to be removed.See also
