  Fetish and your Brain!

  Fetishes are a topic of intense fascination and mystery in...  moreFetishes are a topic of intense fascination and mystery in popular culture, but their potential effects on the brain are rarely discussed. Understanding these impacts may help us better understand the nature of sexual desire and arousal. Recent research has shown that fetishes can have a variety of effects on brain function.Let's first clarify what is meant by the word "fetish." A fetish is a sexual obsession with an item, body part, or circumstance that is not normally thought to be sexually stimulating. For instance, some individuals might have a fetish for feet, but others might be roused by leather gear or other non-sexual items.Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, a recent study in the Journal of Sex Research looked at the brain activity of people with foot fetishes (fMRI). The researchers discovered that individuals' brain activity in the areas related to sexual desire and reward rose when they were given images of feet. This shows that the fetishistic attraction to feet is a product...    less

  Latex Fetish

People who have a latex fetish could be drawn to the appearance, feel, and tightness of latex clothing as well as love the experience of stroking it. In addition to the sound that latex clothing makes when it rubs against the skin, the fetish can also include an appeal to the act of putting on and taking off latex clothes.Rubber is used to create the synthetic material known as latex. It is renowned for its snug fit and glossy, polished appearance. It can be rather constricting when used as clothes, which might increase its fetishistic appeal. Some latex fetishists might appreciate the way the tight material hugs their bodies, while others might prefer the way it rubs against their flesh.  I personally have a love for latex corsets, so restricting and sexy! Some persons who have a latex fetish find the material's appearance to be particularly alluring. They could like the way it sparkles in the...    less

  Foot and Shoe Fetish!

  People who have a strong sexual attraction to feet and/or shoes...  morePeople who have a strong sexual attraction to feet and/or shoes are said to have a foot and shoe fetish, also known as podophilia. Contrary to popular belief, this desire is more widespread than one might imagine and is not gender or sexually specific, love of feet appears universal!  The appearance, touch, and smell of feet and shoes, as well as the feeling of being in control of or submitting to someone else's feet, are frequently enjoyed by those who engage in this fetish. The feelings connected to this obsession can be anything from excitement and pleasure to security and comfort. Some people could even find the scent of shoes or dirty feet to be seductive.For many, the obsession is with the actual shoe, with a focus on high heels, boots, or other kinds of footwear. The focus on the shoe's material, such as leather or latex, may also be considered a fetish. Some people might also be drawn to the used or worn-in quality of shoes, finding pleasure in the idea that someone else's feet once wore...    less

  What is BDSM

  The BDSM lifestyle, commonly referred to as bondage and...  moreThe BDSM lifestyle, commonly referred to as bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism, is a mutually beneficial form of power struggle between adults. To increase the level of intimacy and connection between lovers, it incorporates the use of various controls, restraints, and sensation play.
  
  
  From gentle spanking and role-playing to more severe types of confinement and impact play, BDSM can take many different forms. It is crucial to remember that BDSM always involves consent, and before beginning any action, all parties should be aware of the rules and restrictions.
  
  
  Communication is one of the most important BDSM components. It is necessary that partners can communicate their needs and limitations in an open and sincere manner. This enables everyone to have a secure and pleasurable experience.
  
  
  The permission component of BDSM is also very important. Each party should be able to stop any activity at any time with a safe word or gesture, and all behaviors should be...    less

  What is Fetish vs BDSM?

       As the world becomes a melting pot, it was inevitable...  more     As the world becomes a melting pot, it was inevitable the expansion of our culture would require adaptation as it grew and became more acceptable into today's society.  As more and more "Vanilla" people find images of BDSM scattered across the internet and becoming more visible in their culture.  Images of their favorite celebrities wrapped in latex, shows like American Horror Stories putting the gimp suit out there, and the ability for us to share fun images across social media to our friends and family members.  Society has become aware we exist!       Our problem is that there is such a blurred line of what the lifestyle is actually about.  You ask 100 people and you get 99 different answers, which in itself is amazing!  The problem is that we as a culture need labels, while I personally hate labels, note my name is Algo "Something", labels to serve a role in trying to explain the vast complexities of the human mind.  Which in reality, BDSM and this lifestyle is all about doing...    less

  Chastity Play
