We all know them or have them: sexual fantasies. From outdoor sex to golden showers, fantasies come in all shapes and sizes. But when is your fantasy a fetish and what types of fetishes are there? Today we list 10 different fetishes for you...

1. BDSM

Number one is BDSM. Although this is a specific type of sex, it can certainly be considered a fetish. BDSM stands for Bondage & Discipline, Domination & Submission and Sadism Masochism. BDSM play takes place between two partners: the Dominant (dom) and the submissive (sub). The Dom has power over the sub and determines the course of the session. In the past, this form of sex was mainly associated with dark basements and voluntary 'abuse'. Fortunately, this has changed, partly thanks to the book and film series 50 Shades of Grey.

2. Foot fetish

There are a lot more foot fetishists than people think. Think about it; you probably know someone who has some form of foot fetishism. It is the most common fetish that is not directly related to sex. People with this fetish simply love feet and everything that has to do with them. Think socks, shoes, stockings, etc. A foot fetish can develop because the feet and genitals are connected to parts of the somatosensory cortex in the brain that are next to each other. Sigmund Freud thought that it is because feet and a penis look similar… Yes, you may not agree with this comparison, but it is true that people with a foot fetish like to lick and suck someone’s feet or toes. And what else do people like to lick and suck? Exactly.

3. Role play

Yes, this is also a fetish. Just because you’ve tried it doesn’t mean you have this fetish, but if you experience a lot of arousal during roleplay, you may have a roleplay fetish. Sexual roleplay is when two or more people play different roles in a sexual scenario. Roleplay can take on any form of sexual fantasy. For example, you might play nurse and patient, police officer and villain, or teacher and naughty student with your partner. Typically, you also wear clothing or accessories that match your role, so the nurse wears a nurse’s uniform and the police officer wears a police uniform.

4. Rubber, leather and latex

This fetish refers to people who get sexual pleasure from wearing clothing made of rubber, leather or latex. They also find it very exciting to see their partner wearing clothing made of these materials. This fetish can range from wearing a tight catsuit to a leather gas mask.

5. Voyeurism and exhibitionism

Studies have shown that one in three people enjoy watching sex. These people usually get turned on by watching people getting dressed, taking a bath or having sex. Most voyeurs are men who watch porn online. Exhibitionism is when you enjoy being watched in a sexual way, for example on a nudist beach. There are even certain nightclubs where you can have sex in a room while being watched by other people through peepholes. Pretty hot, right?

6. Spanking

Spanking is considered one of the most sexual fetishes. Why do so many people like spanking? Because it is very accessible. Everyone has experienced an erotic spanking of their partner's bottom. It is a fairly simple way to add some pleasurable pain to your sex life. And when the bottom is spanked with certain pressure and force, the vibrations can create an exciting feeling in the genitals. However, spanking can also be part of BDSM where it is humiliating for one partner (who is spanked) and gives the other (who gives the spanking) a feeling of power. You can spank with your hands, but many also use a special whip .

7. Wearing the clothes of the opposite sex

A common fetish involves wearing the clothes of the opposite sex; so men wearing women's clothing and accessories and vice versa. It is mainly men who are interested in this fetish, but there are also plenty of women who find wearing men's clothing very erotic and sensual. Take a look here if you are looking for beautiful lingerie men!

8. Peeing and sex

Golden showers, or urophilia, is a fetish that is more common than you might think. In this fetish, a person urinates on their partner during foreplay or sex. Some people simply call it pee sex. People who practice this type of sex are aroused by the sight, smell, feel, or taste of urine. There are several reasons why people enjoy it: the warm, wet feeling of urine feels good on the body, the taste of urine is arousing, or the taboo surrounding it makes it exciting.

9. Swinging and group sex

Swinging means that a (married) couple has sex with another couple. This always happens with the full consent of all parties involved. Usually, the woman of one couple goes to bed with the man of the other couple and vice versa. So in fact, you are simply swapping partners. Couples who do swinging are called swingers. This fetish can have a positive or negative effect on the relationship: jealousy can arise, partners trust each other less and it is possible that participants develop feelings for their swinging partner. However, this form of partner swapping can also breathe new life into a relationship. Group sex speaks for itself, we think…!

10. Adult Babies

Last but not least, adult babies, is an extremely popular fetish. These adult babies - also called diaper adults - are adults who like to act like babies. They can be both men and women, but it is usually men who are more attracted to this fetish. They love to wear diapers, be bottle-fed, and sometimes even wear baby clothes. Adult babies like it when an adult tells them what they can and cannot do and takes care of them. Some adult babies are looking for the attention they missed when they were younger.
