Fetish terms

There are literally thousands of sexual fetishes or kinks as some call them. From the common fetishes such as foot fetishes or spanking to far more obscure kinks such as Formicophilia – sexual arousal to insects!

Many people wouldn’t even consider themselves to have a fetish by simply enjoying a particular activity during sex. Fetishes are a very subjective topic. What we allow our members to do is indulge their sexual interests amongst a community of members who appreciate the kinkier side to sex without fear of humiliation or judgement.

Below you will find some of the more common sexual interests as indicated by our members and their meanings.
