Whats your fetish and What caused it?

[jockmaestro]

Well I'd say I used to have a fetish for men's underwear- I grew up without too many opportunities to hang out with my buddies in theirs... and so I guess whenever I saw an older guy (role model) in his underwear it was always kinda cool--- and that was mid 80s when low-rise briefs were the 'cool' alternative to tighty whites. Boxers weren't 'retro cool' yet (they were simply the opposite choice to briefs) and guys were just starting to feel confident buying underwear in tubes with models showing plenty of beefcake.

Totally. Agree.

hot pics, by the way.

Jockstraps! Discovered at age eleven my dad's men's large Johnson & Johnson Blue Ribbon athletic supporter drying after laundering above our bathtub at home. Tried it on. Of course it was much too large. Was intrigued by its design which had erotic overtones for my early adolescent psyche. Got really hooked on jockstraps when I had to buy one for 7th grade PE and got a throbbing hardon which produced precum when I tried it on for the first time.

Athletic cups! Saw BIKE jockstraps, jocks with cups, and swimmer jocks on display in the window of a hobby/sporting goods store bordering our town green. I think they along with jockstraps are perhaps the most quintessentially male erotic items around.

I have lived in Washington, DC over thirty years and collected jocks and cups as a fetish item, sometimes in bulk by the dozen to the point that I may have the one of the large private collections of such in the Washington DC metro area.

Circumcised penises! My dad was a Little League umpire in my hometown when I was growing up. Often he would come home from work, take a nap in his easy chair [with a cup of coffee at his side!] and then join us for dinner. After dinner, he would freshen up in the bathroom and strip out of his work [street] clothes. Then he would leap buck naked through the house to don his jockstrap and Little League umpire uniform. I would get excited as an early adolescent seeing the robust nakedness of his trim body. And, as my older brother told me many years later, he also had a tight muscled ass to die for. But invariably, I would be drawn to his genitals, most notably his circumcised penis, the generative organ which helped to bring me into the world. He was circumcised as a neonatal in early March 1914. My grandmother was trained as a nurse and believed in circumcision. In those years, my circumcised penis was a smaller version of his.

Anyway I inherited his physique, his disposition, and penis. In later years, as I entered my thirties, people in my hometown mistook me for my dad. We also had similar religious, even mystical temperaments, as children of nature and lovers of classical music. He's been dead since late December 1990, but he is still ever close to me in Spirit, in my loving recollections of him.

I am totally on your wavelength. Jockstraps have done it for me since the age of 11.
Great post here, buddy.

Feet, when I was younger I used to feel kinda naked if I took my shoes off in public. About the same time, my cousin's friend was sleeping over and she was in the bed talking on the phone. I was crawling around on the ground and popped up at the foot of the bed, at that time she started laughing (something on the phone) and kicked her feet up and her legs landed on my shoulders. I guess I associated it with sex since I was looking right down her legs at the time and she was wearing tight shorts.
But being barefoot in public don't affect me anymore, and I'm only turn on by the feet in porn, feet in real life creep me out.

small penis humiliation (kind of a cliche around this board, but hey...) and being cuckolded, for obvious reasons.

also, being totally dominated and enslaved by a muscular, well-hung black man. i love the contrast between his dark skin and my pale complexion.

Cut guys - probabaly because I have so much foreskin but 2 of my cloest frineds when I was at primary school were cut and there were my earliest experience.

Piss - not sure why. Just because it's tabboo.

Brothers - same as above. But oddly, not with my brother.

Jockstraps - something new to me, I never encountered these until I was a fully gown man

Straight guys - the risk, the challenge!

You never encountered a jockstrap till you were grown??! Sigh. How old are you? This is what I'm always ranting about: guys NEED to have the jockstrap experience in jr hi and hs and college. I trace many of our social ills to this change in male-male bonding.

Fetish is strong sexual desire or arousal caused by a physical object. Getting turned on by a hot girl in a bikini or a hot guy in a Speedo isn't a fetish. If you get turned on by a bikini or speedo that no one is wearing, or you can't get turned on unless a girl is wearing a bikini or a guy is wearing a speedo - that's a fetish.

Sorry... but that is not current usage.

Fetish is a term early shrinks lifted from anthropology, referring to an object of particularly symbolic ritual import.

In psychology, it was used to characterize certain behaviors as sexually deviant, by suggesting that practitioners had an unhealthy and obsessive fixation on a particular artifact or material , and were incapable of sexual gratification without their fetish being involved.


This was absolutely unsupported hogwash, that never reflected actual human sexuality and currently is in the same realm of disabused nonsense as women suffering from "penis envy" and "hysteria".

Actual human sexuality features lots of behaviors in which particular articles, materials, colors, scents and even circumstances become conflated in the human psyche with arousal... But their absence does not prevent arousal since people can fantasize about them.

Basically... the entire idea of fetishism as you describe it has been debunked... ALL human beings develop conditioned responses to stimuli that they find particularly arousing.
It is simply those that vary dramatically from the most common that draw attention... but whether you are into S&M, or girls in school uniforms, or plain ol garden variety naked women is simply a matter of difference scenarios, and dos not necessarily indicate any kind of pathology.

They are all just different manifestations of the exact same sexualization process.


Today... the term fetish has become, most commonly, the term used to describe any kind of fascination with anything other than primary sexual charcateristics that seems linked to sexual expression and gratification.

Pretty much anything that is not vanilla sex, involves something that can be called a fetish.

From armpit hair, to leather corsets and whips. Hell, even a fixation on gigantic boobs, is considered a form of fetishistic fixation, if its something that helps get you off.



Aside from a minority of hopelessly clueless Freudians and Jungians, no one uses the term strictly as originally coined...

And it is not even considered deviant anymore. Everyone has fetishes. Even Missionary position, if thats the thing that you fantasize about the most, can be a fetish.

In the UK we just don't use jockstraps.

I have a armpit fetish from licking my high school friends armpits when he was sleeping once.

Castration, ballbusting.

I was circumcised one day out of nowhere. Just was playing around at age of 4. Nobody told me what was going on. I grow up with the fear that they will have something more cut of for years. This became a fetish for me.

I am now trying to make a collection of art related to the topic: duck's collection

Note: it is just a fetish, I am trying to be sure that the sub enjoys the process. No blood, etc

Smooth shaved bods especially shaved armpits and pubes.

I think it came with high school. There was this one guy who loved to be shirtless all the time in the cabin while changing clothes for PE lessons. He always had hairy armpits till one day he decided to clean shave it all off and I remember how much that turned me on and that I really wanted to shave my armpits as well. Now I'm shaving them every 3 days and it feels fucking good

I have a huge underwear fetish. Started when I started buying my own underwear. I can’t seem to stop buying them. I get so turned on to look at men in their underwear.
