Fetish Anniversary | The Home of Kink Turns 2!

On the 13th February, otherwise known as Anti-Valentine’s day, we’re celebrating. Fetish.com, the dark and devilish corner of the web that we call home sweet home, is turning two. We know lots of you have been with us from the very beginning; others are just starting to dabble your kinky feet - and as we mark our 2nd birthday, we want to say ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made Fetish.com your kinky home and contributed to our success. 

 

Fetish.com - Our kinky vision

Back in 2017, the site launched with a simple vision - to create the world’s most trusted Fetish and BDSM community. How? By demystifying and promoting alternative lifestyles as we go - providing a safe, sane and consensual home, and a user-friendly dating solution for kinksters and the kink-curious. But, as we’re sure you’ll agree, Fetish.com has become so much more than that.

There are now 600k registered kinksters in our worldwide, fetish family. On average, that number grows around 19k each month. How’s that for pickings? There’s ‘sub-one’ for everyone here.

Shaping the home of Fetish

Over the past two years, we’ve ‘decorated the dungeon’ together making this a kinktastic place of our own. Through providing thoughtful insights, helping us build the best list of kinks and fetishes, and playing in our treasure hunt to spread our BDSM roles and archetypes far and wide - all activities designed to help you match with other kinksters in the process. We even put together the perfect soundtrack to the fetish lifestyle by gathering everyone’s favourite songs in an exclusive playlist for kinksters by kinksters!

 

 

Remember the sex blogger’s competition we held too? There is some serious talent amongst us. What’s more, we recently introduced a new feature; kinky gifts. Now you’re able to send someone a cheeky little present that says, for example, ‘Bite me’. Talk about breaking the ice. Don’t trade in all your points at once - though they’re easy enough to accumulate again.

Sharing your individual Fetish stories

In these past few weeks, we’ve asked you to tell us your naughty tales of fetish love, friendship and overall success on the site. We received hundreds of messages via *** and some of you even shared your stories in the public fetish forum.

 

Our #kinktastic member @LilMonster told us:

Quote

“I currently have a play partner who I met on here he is showing me things that I didn't even think I could do and opening my eyes to kink and I've never felt more sexual and confident since meeting him! ... One thing that fetish is great for is the forum where you can ask questions and learn from other kinksters.”

We also have amazing tales such as this one by German kinkster @Sharyana:

Quote

“In 2017 I met my partner here. In the beginning we were just writing in the chat, then privately. At one point I even deleted my profile but when I came back he was still there. As was the intimacy. Our talks became more and more private. We started calling each other every day for hours. On 23.11.2017 he came to visit me. Back then I still lived in Switzerland. We spent five wonderful days together and when he went back home I was sure: I loved him. My sweetheart however wasn’t that sure at the beginning. But since 9.12.2017 we are in a relationship and since the end of July we live together in Brandenburg. Thank you for this site. Without you we’d have never met.”

However, our favourite success story has got to be from @Jed:

Quote

“We encourage all of you to enjoy your time here, and we wish all of you the best in your personal journey. We have had wonderful news to announce, we are expecting a wee baby come October so another step on our journey together all thanks to Fetish! Thanks Fetish.com.”

How amazing is that!

In the anonymous survey we ran up to our birthday, we received lots of interesting info that we’ll be sure to use to make the site better for all of us.

  • 24% of you said they had 'found what they were looking for' (yay!) and 21% said they found 'something they weren’t expecting' (even better!).

  • Over 60% of all members said they had joined Fetish.com to find real-life dates and if our success stories are anything to go by - we’re moving in the right direction!

    KINK: THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT

    The psychology and Glitchcore Would kink still be desirable if it were no longer forbidden? Does one desire something because it genuinely appeals to them, or does knowing it is forbidden make it more appealing? Consider taboo. The act itself may be ordinary. Introduce a restriction, attach a consequence, surround it with secrecy, and suddenly it acquires a different psychological weight. Within the lifestyle (BDSMk), it becomes rather interesting. Before the body, there is the mind. Kink does not necessarily begin with physical contact. It can begin with curiosity, imagination, anticipation and the meaning one attaches to an experience. A Dominant establishes a protocol. A submissive chooses to follow it. A Caregiver offers structure and reassurance. A Little finds comfort in a chosen headspace, familiar routines, praise or playful rules. Even online, two people can develop rituals, expectations, boundaries and an exchange of power. There may be no physical collar, yet its symbolism can carry meaning. No hand holding the leash, yet the anticipation of "await further instructions" can be tantalizing. Physical intimacy does add a dimensional element, but it does not create the psychological foundation. The psychology of temptation Psychologists call one relevant mechanism psychological reactance. When people feel their freedom of choice is being restricted, the restricted option can become more attractive. Trying to suppress a thought can also make it more persistent. But this does not mean prohibition creates a kink. It may intensify an existing curiosity, give it a narrative or make it more difficult to ignore. Perhaps the same question applies to power exchange. Is a submissive drawn to obedience itself, or to the trust and respect behind it? Does a little enjoy the rule, or the reassurance of having a Caregiver who provides structure? Does a Dominant find satisfaction in bringing structure, or in being trusted with the responsibility that comes with authority? And sometimes, the attraction is simply to the fantasy. Remove the anticipation, and the experience may lose its appeal. A negotiated limit is not an invitation to push. A safeword is not disobedience. Submission remains a choice. Glitch's observation' Perhaps the forbidden fruit does not always change its flavour. Perhaps it changes the mind of the one looking at it. An online dynamic can be meaningful without physical contact. A protocol is more than a list of instructions. A command is more than a sentence. A Caregiver is more than someone who establishes rules. Their significance comes from the understanding between the people who create that dynamic. Glitch suspects that the body is sometimes given too much credit for a conversation the mind started long before. Join the madness: Intrigue: Does kink start with physical exploration, or does the mind develop the curiosity long before the first experience? Space: If trust, protocol, authority, submission and emotional intimacy can develop online, what exactly is missing? Dynamic: Is the appeal in the act itself, or in what it represents: surrender, structure, nurturing, praise, service, reassurance or being trusted? Desire: If a particular kink or dynamic suddenly became socially ordinary, would the attraction remain, diminish or disappear? No confessions required. Glitch is interested in the psychology, not anyone's private inventory. Perhaps kink does not begin when one person touches another. Perhaps it begins when the mind recognizes a possibility, assigns it meaning, and wonders what it would feel like to explore it. Glitch suspects there are a few beautiful contradictions waiting in the comments, considerably more interesting than His code. 57 Likes 8 Replies· about 22 hours ago

    🔥 Let’s talk body types, attraction, and body confidence in BDSM.🔥

    I’m genuinely curious about something, and I’d love to hear different perspectives from both Doms and subs. When it comes to physical attraction, what body types really catch your attention? Do you love curves with a flat tummy? A soft belly that you can grab, hold, and love on? A full, thick body that moves with every touch, kiss, and thrust? Or do you gravitate toward someone small and petite who makes you want to handle them gently, like something precious? Maybe your preference is something entirely different. Is it about a specific body type, or is it more about the way someone carries themselves, their confidence, their energy, and the chemistry between you? 👀 But here’s the part I’m even more interested in discussing: How do you help a partner who struggles with body insecurities truly "feel" desired? It’s one thing to tell someone they’re beautiful, but it’s another to make them believe you when their mind tells them otherwise. For those in a D/s dynamic, how do you use your words, actions, affection, and intimacy to help your partner feel safe enough to let go of those insecurities? How do you show them that your attraction isn’t conditional on a flat stomach, perfect proportions, or fitting some unrealistic standard? That you see the person beneath the skin, and that their body is something you appreciate rather than something they need to apologize for? I’d love to hear from everyone: What’s your physical preference, and how do you make your partner feel genuinely wanted, especially on the days they struggle to see their own beauty? Let’s keep it respectful, honest, and open-minded. ❤️‍🔥 246 Likes 123 Replies· about 5 hours ago

    Favorite Seasonal Kink Play

    What's your favorite seasonal Kink/ scene to play this time of year? Wandering into a corn maze and getting stalked then dragged off by a masked man? Pumpkin picking and then squishing the guts inside? Wearing the pumpkin? 21 Likes 13 Replies· 4 days ago

    What kink is huge for everyone else but just "fine" for you?

    No shaming anyone's thing here, everyone's kink is valid!!!!!! This is about the ones that are clearly massive, whole communities built on them, and for you they're just... fine. Mine is feet. Nothing against them, tried it, enjoyable enough. But there's a whole universe of people for whom feet are THE thing, and I've never felt whatever that is. The gap between "sure, that's nice" and "this is my entire fetish" is what I don't get. What's yours? Bonus points if the thing that's just fine for you is something someone above you swears by. 44 Likes 44 Replies· 5 days ago
