6 Most Common BDSM Fetishes for Beginners
The world of BDSM is very big with more fetishes than most people can name, let alone count. Just the word fetish will also evoke a different image for every person that hears it. When it comes to BDSM, a fetish is a sexual activity that a person enjoys doing. Sometimes it is an activity that they cannot go without when engaging in BDSM.
As we mentioned there are quite a lot of fetishes out there. Today we are going to take a look at some of the most common fetishes that are out there.
Impact Play
Impact play is one of the most common fetishes in the world of BDSM. The name impact play isn't very descriptive at first of what the category covers but it is a broad category and once you start to learn about it, the name makes more sense. The world of impact play covers any activity that involves hitting in a sexual way such as spanking, whipping, slapping, etc. Impact play can include both impacts with the hand or impacts with toys such as whips or crops.
When engaging in impact play it is important to be safe and to set limits. Limits help your partner to know what they can do and what they can't do. One of the limits you should set is how hard or what level of impact is okay.
Roleplay
Roleplay is the act of engaging in what some people might call make believe. Some of the most well known role play scenes are teacher/student, cop/criminal, and doctor/patient. In BDSM one role takes the responsibility of being in charge while the other is submissive and this is true in roleplay too. An easy way to think of BDSM roleplay is like playing doctor as a kid, just with adult play.
Roleplaying is a very popular fetish and it can be combined with any number of fetishes or kinks. One of the popular aspects of roleplay is the fact that you can try things that wouldn't be possible in the real world.
Foot Fetishes
For those that are not into foot fetishes it may be a surprise that they are one of the most popular fetishes in the world. Foot fetishes involve anything that has to do with the desire to worship feet. Sometimes this involves massages, while other times kissing, smelling, or licking may be what they desire. A partner with a foot fetish may at first be hesitant to talk about it due to fear of people judging them but these fetishes are perfectly normal, just different.
Anal Play
Anal play happens in relationships without it being BDSM or a fetish but it is still a very popular fetish that many people around the world have. The term anal play includes a lot of various anal-related activities from something as simple as fingering to playing with toys, even anal sex falls into the category of anal play. Both men and women engage in anal play on the receiving and giving sides.
In the last ten or so years anal play has become a lot more socially acceptable and people from all walks of life have tried it even during vanilla sexual encounters. When engaging in anal play of any kind it is important to use lubricant and clean thoroughly after.
Clothing
Clothing can be a big fetish for people and while many people associate clothing fetishes with lingerie but there are a wide variety of clothing interests. Some people enjoy lingerie while others enjoy school girl clothes, women's clothes in general, or any other number of clothing that they can get off on. Because so many different specific interests fit into the category of clothing fetishes, so many people fall into the category of enjoying clothing fetishes.
While it is never okay to expose someone to BDSM who doesn't consent to participate, clothing fetishes can be snuck into everyday life by wearing the clothing under regular clothing or by integrating it into your normal outfits. So much is possible with a clothing fetish that it will give you plenty of things to try.
Group Play
Group play is one of the more controversial types of play in the world of BDSM as many people are uncomfortable with the idea of including more people with their activities, that being said, group play is still a very popular activity. Group play could be involving another person in your BDSM scene or could also include what is known as a gang bang where multiple people join. Orgies are also included in group play. No matter what group play style you like, it can introduce a lot of interesting activities and sensations into your experience.
