Question

How do I approach a female friend about my foot fetish?

Community Answer

Broach the topic of fetishes, and if she seems open to it, talk more specifically about foot fetishes. If she seems uninterested or disgusted by foot fetishes, don't go further. However, if she is not put off by a conversation about foot fetishes, you can tell her about yours.

Question

How do I tell my parents I have a fetish?

Community Answer

You don't. Ever. That's not a conversation I would recommend having. They don't need to know about your sex life.

How can I find someone to share my fetish with if I'm single?

Try online dating. State your fetish in your bio so anyone that swipes right knows what they are getting into.

Question

Should I get rid of my fat fetish or keep it?

Community Answer

You can't really "get rid of" a fetish, but you can try to ignore it if you want. But as long as you're treating people with respect and obtaining consent, I don't see why you should have to.

Question

How can I safely practice a fetish without anyone finding out?

Community Answer

You can just practice it in the comfort of your own home. If you need help or want to talk to people with the same fetish, I would suggest finding an online community centered on that fetish.

Question

A man asked me to take pictures of my feet and I said no, but now he won't leave me alone. What should I do?

Community Answer

If the man is contacting you online, then you should block all of his profiles so he cannot communicate with you. If that doesn't stop him, then you should let him know that if he doesn't stop contacting you, you will file a police report for harassment.

Question

What if fetish material is the only thing that turns you on?

Bluebadee

Community Answer

Nothing is wrong with it unless you think it's a problem. There are numerous online chatrooms and servers dedicated to meeting people with your same tastes. If you feel fetish material is a problem, quitting it cold turkey for a few months should help.

Question

What do I do if a girl doesn't accept my fetishes?

Community Answer

If she does not accept it or is disgusted by your fetishes, you may have to search for someone else who is not turned off by it, or even better has the same fetish. If you stay with this girl, you won't be able to practice your activities and may get bored.

Question

I'm engaged and I have a fat fetish (I'd really like to get fat). Should I accept this fetish or try to ignore it?

Community Answer

Maybe you should try talking to your fiance about this. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and you might find some way that you can indulge this fantasy with him/her. Just remember that obesity can be harmful to your health, so you should proceed with caution if you plan to gain weight.

Question

How do I know if I should tell my friends about my fetish?

Community Answer

Fetishes are usually considered private information. If this is the kind of stuff you usually talk about with your friends, by all means tell them, but if I were you I wouldn't tell them unless a conversation about sex/fetishes came up organically.

Question

How can I stop shaming myself for my kinks and fetishes?

Community Answer

Just remind yourself that kinks and fetishes themselves aren't harmful in any way (as long as you don't harm anyone while acting them out), and you can't control the things you're sexually attracted to, so it's best to accept yourself as you are.

Question

Are vintage or furry fetishes normal?

Community Answer

I don't see why not for either of them. They (especially furry fetishes) are shared by tons of people, and it's not like they're hurting anyone, as long as everything stays consensual and all. If you find that a fetish is getting in the way of a normal lifestyle (for example, you find you're unable to feel sexual attraction without these elements), you might want to consider therapy.

No, but masturbation can be used as a method to enjoy your fetish. Masturbation isn't a "fetish" on its own.

Question

What do I do if I'm too uncomfortable to tell people about my fetish?

Try to find a forum or someplace online to meet with others to discuss it. You'd be surprised just how large some of these communities can be. Learning that others share your fetish may give the confidence you need to bring it up with someone in person.

Question

What do I do if my fetish is really weird?

Community Answer

"Weird" is subjective. It might not be as weird as you think it is. In case you or your partner think it really is odd, don't feel too bad about it: accept yourself and respect your partner and their wishes. If your partner approves, then who cares if other people find it weird? You don't have to go around telling others about your fetish. If you are single, remember: it's just a fetish. Your life isn't just about that, so live normally and enjoy what you like. As long as you're not hurting anyone and you remember the distinction between reality and fantasy, you're fine.

Question

I have a fat fetish, and I would love to gain weight, but I won't be able to without telling my parents, who are probably not going to like it. What should I do?

Community Answer

Wait until you're older and out of the house to do this. Also, obesity can be hazardous to your health, especially when you're young, so you should wait until you're an adult and discuss this with your doctor.
