Being stuck in a cast isn't usually considered pleasurable, but for those kinksters with a cast fetish, it can be an exciting inconvenience. Victoria Blisse explores why some of us enjoy abasiophilia – a kink for casts and impaired mobility – and offers some practical tips for indulging in it.
‘Break a leg’ might be something you’d say to actors, but some kinksters have an interest in a broken limb – or, more specifically – the cast being worn that helps to heal it. A kink for casts and impaired mobility is known as abasiophilia.
Abasiophilia might involve an aesthetic attraction to the material or colour of a cast. Or maybe the desire is for a certain body part to be held in plaster, such as a specific leg cast fetish. Some people really want to wear the cast and experience that confinement to their movement. Or, reversely, for some kinksters the arousal of casts comes from seeing someone else unable to move easily.
However, a kink for casts isn’t just about a medical fetish or about getting plastered. There’s much more to it than that.
Why do some people find casts a turn-on?
There are many reasons why casts may be a turn-on. Firstly, when a person is in plaster or other orthopedics they are immobilized to some extent. The person becomes reliant on others for lots of things they’d normally be able to do themselves. It becomes a kind of bondage; hobbling the person and making them easy to take advantage of (consensually, of course). Some people with a cast kink may also get off on helping the person who is immobile with their daily chores.
Leg cast fetish? Medical roleplay can be a kink to add into the mix...
This part of the fetish may extend to other aids such as wheelchairs, slings and crutches, adding to both the aesthetic and control elements of leg cast fetish into this kind of play.
“Abasiophilia might involve an aesthetic attraction to the material or color of a cast. Or maybe the desire is for a certain body part to be held in plaster, such as a specific leg cast fetish.”
Secondly, an interest in casts might come from an early childhood experience – as many fetishes do – that link a cast to sexual excitement. This may give rise to a dedication to a certain body part being immobilized, such as an arm or a leg cast fetish. Indeed, the enhancement of the toes of a person may well play into the loves of a foot fetish – a leg cast is just a harder and more permanent stocking after all.
“Kinkiest cross of foot and bondage play I’ve ever found… it’s orgasmic!’’ say’s one fetish.com member in the Toes in a Cast thread. And it’s not just our part of the internet that’s talking about cast fetish, there is a large community online, including a number of reddit threads and forums dedicated to it. And, of course, there’s a big cross over of cast fetish in porn.

How can I explore my fetish for casts?
So, hanging out at a hospital isn’t practical and/or fair, so how can you indulge in a cast fetish? Here are three ideas:
-
Role play Pretending is a great way to enjoy the thrills without any of the pain or broken bones! It’s like playing doctors but for grown-ups. You don’t need anything at all but your imagination to get going. Enjoy your leg cast fetish with a fun bit of make believe.
-
Cast on Clearly you need to have medical expertise to put on a real cast. However, there are many videos online that can show you how to put one on for play purposes. The main thing to remember is to not leave them on too long and know how you’re going to remove it in the end.
- Bandages, crutches, slings and things! You might need more than just your imagination to roleplay your kink. This is where other aids may come into the mix. Pick up some crutches for example and/or some bandages to give a fuller feeling of immobilization. You can even buy second-hand wheelchairs online and in thrift stores if you want to take that extra step to get your kicks.

It isn’t all porn, though. There are many non-sexual videos for cast fetishists too. It’s advisable to find forums created specially to cater to the fetish crowd as this way you know the people in the photos and videos have given their consent to be there for the leg cast fetish lovers to enjoy. Searching through social media for imagery including casts is not a good idea as those people have no idea their content might be used for kink.
