A sex therapist has shared insights into two prevalent fetishes that people often confess to having.
Sex therapist Charlene Douglas discussed the most common fetish she has encountered and a newer one gaining traction among some clients in recent times.
While sex is generally pleasurable, many individuals have unique additions, conditions, and fantasies that can enhance the experience further. There are recurring trends, and Douglas highlighted the most typical fetish she has observed, which might be unexpected for some.
During a conversation with LADbible Stories in an Honesty Box session, Douglas was asked about the most common fetish and its rising popularity.
She explained: “I would say that threesomes are probably the kind of main fantasies that people have, but recently I have found that more and more people are interested in voyeurism.
“So they are getting really turned on by people watching them have sex.
“There was a couple that I was working with that had said that they really enjoy having sex in hotels but it needs to have a window where people can see them. So yeah, anything to do with voyeurism is becoming more and more popular.”
Additionally, the sex therapist mentioned there is a fetish that consistently surprises her due to its rarity, at least among her clients.
She elaborated: “Although, probably the whole time that I have worked as a sex therapist there have been three or four people that have shared the same fetish with me.
“I am probably shocked every time I hear it, only because it is so rare. It is so different.
“There is one particular guy, he said he really enjoys smelling his woman’s vulva, like inside, lips apart, nose right in there.
“He said for him to get really turned on, it needs to be really smelly.”
Douglas noted that the man found humor in sharing this with her, as she tried to contain her own amusement. She further explained how this disclosure altered the couple’s sexual relationship.
She remarked: “What has happened over a period of years is that she has become quite turned on from this fantasy, this fetish as well.
“He doesn’t quite know where this fetish came from but he thinks when he was a teenager, there was a dare that was that he should smell some smelly knickers from a woman and he did it and he noticed from that he became sexually aroused.”
Everyone has their own preferences, after all…
