Are you naughty or nice?

Thoughts from Courtney Bauer

Behind closed doors would you rather "squash" your partner or massage their feet? Squashing is a fetish well publicized by the Tyra Banks show. It involves one of the partners (typically one who is overweight) falling onto the other partner and in essence "squashing" them. The pain involved in the squashing can increase feelings of arousal, much the same way people are aroused by S&M.

Are you turned on yet? If not then read on. So maybe squashing is a little too nice for you? Well then can I interest you in some hand cuffs and whips? S&M is sadomasochism. The sadism is if you derive pleasure from inflicting pain while the masochism is deriving pleasure from receiving the pain. This fetish as opposed to squashing, requires a few more toys. Luckily, there are plenty of good adult stores in Buffalo.

So naughty fetishes aren’t for you? How about something like podophilia? No not PEDophilia, PODophilia, or more commonly known as a foot fetish. Partners who have a love of feet are turned on by gentle foot massages and perhaps a nice little kiss on the toe. A foot fetish can be very loving and sensual, especially if there is massaging involved. Luckily this fetish doesn’t require toys and the safety risk is lower than that of squashing, but it may require getting a pedicure.

If even a foot massage is too risqué for you then maybe you are better off sticking to your teddy bears and stuffed crocodiles. What could be better than the feel of soft synthetic fur on your skin? In that case you can consider yourself a plushophile. So take your partner, or just yourself, and head to the carnival to win yourself a brand new toy!!

Fetishes are fun and arousing but make sure you always talk to your partner before breaking out the whip or costumes. You may scare them off. Also with things that involve any kind of bondage or pain make sure you and your partner have a safe word or safe action. Make sure your safe word or action is not in any way related to sex or what you are doing.
