Thigh Fetish

Most men have experienced a powerful attraction to women’s naked thighs but fetishists take the attraction to its furthest extent. Although this fetish is common, it seemed to elude categorisation for a long time. In Western Europe and America, the importance of this area-isolated as it usually is-below the underwear and above stocking tops has become a staple of erotic imagery in films, photography and in advertising.

The enduring importance of lingerie in the erotic imagination of men in general-and fetishists in particular-is based almost solely on this spot. Even if a woman’s body is otherwise covered by a corset, stockings and panties-the one area below the waist that will always be available as a voyeuristic spectacle is the thighs. Suspender straps only heighten their appeal.

A recent poll about the favourite “secret fetishes” of Japanese businessmen found that the most popular one, above all others, was zettai ryouiki, which, when translated means “absolute territory”. In other words, they fantasize most frequently about that piece of exposed flesh between the top of a young woman’s thigh-high socks and the bottom of her mini-skirt. No nudity or overt sexuality is necessary, just an otherwise mundane detail which, when used as a catalyst for arousal, stimulates a significant response.

Blindfold Fantasies

It was just recently that a good friend made an observation about my fetish for blindfolds. “It seems as though the main reason you wear blindfolds is so that you don’t have to see the men that you sleep with” She said. I agreed that sometimes it was true, but that it wasn’t always that simple. Since that night, I’ve been thinking about blindfolds a lot. When my eyes disappear behind one, it isn’t just my ability to see...

Suspension bondage appeals to fetishists because it makes the person being suspended seem more vulnerable if they are unable and unwilling to escape their restraints. By trying to free themselves they could fall to the floor and injure themselves so their anxiety is magnified. Being suspended in a large open space also turns a helpless, submissive subject into an object whose complete powerlessness can be as erotically satisfying for themselves as much as...

The upskirt fetish has never been as popular as it is today, I found this out for myself, accidentally, in London a few weeks ago. I was in Covent Garden when it was windy and, as I walked around a corner, a sudden breeze lifted my short skirt up before I could push it back down. The smiling tourists got a brief glimpse of my panties and, although they were sympathetic, I still felt exposed, on display and vulnerable – it wasn’t like Marilyn...

I am always getting requests for wet clothes fetish sets. Tacky holiday resorts often host wet t-shirt contests to attract an audience. These competitions feature attractive young women wearing thin, white t-shirts being drenched in warm beer or cold water for popular entertainment because – although they’re still dressed – their breasts are completely visible. When we began shooting this set it only took me a few minutes to settle on...

A while ago, I wouldn’t have been seen dead wearing a pair of high-waisted panties. They were so old fashioned and unpopular that I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to own a pair. Now though, retro underwear is so in demand, particularly 1950s bullet – bras, corsets and stockings, that I really felt the lack of a well fitting pair of black, high-waisted, panties. After I found a pair and tried them on for the first time I discovered, very...
