Panty fetishism
Panty fetishism is a
sexual fetish relating to women's
panties. It can also involve printed or electronic material depicting exposure of panties, usually of a
softcore nature.
Those affected regard the panties (
knickers in the UK) as a
sex object and the female sex organs as another. The panties become a central source of
desire, and
fetishists frequently amass large collections of panties. They can be used or unused, depending on the individual's preference. The connection between the wearer and the panties is important and can be essential. This is not always the case, but it often is.
Usually, the
fetishist will first look at them, touch them, imagine the woman wearing them, etc. The next stage normally involves
masturbation, and
ejaculation onto one pair of panties, frequently while sniffing or even wearing a second pair. The mental link between the panties and their true owner will usually be present, and the fetishist will imagine as he masturbates that he is actually ejaculating over the panties as if they were still being worn by the real owner.
There is another form of what may be considered a panty fetish which involves no sexual desire. This is expressed as the the desire or need for a male to wear panties. The vast majority of these men wear panties for differing reasons. Most find panties are more comfortable to wear compared to typical male briefs or boxers. They also enjoy the variety of styles and fabrics available. Others may use them as a method to express their softer or "feminine" side. They do not necessarily see them as sexual objects, but simply as another form of clothing. Some men may also wear panties and other female attire in cross-dressing.
