Nail Fetish

Into nails? Love to be scratched?

Scratch beneath the surface of nail fetish

Well-manicured nails have become part of life for many people. They can be painted prettily in different colours, with varying patterns for parties, shaped and sculpted to keep them looking good for work and play. People spend hours making their nails look good. But, some people really love nails and get a sexual thrill from looking at them or feeling them in use. Looking after or painting someone else's nails is thrilling for someone with a nail fetish. It's not just about how they look; it's how they scratch too, which is fabulous fun for kinky playtime. All you need are your fingers and a willing partner or two or more!

What is nail fetish?

Nail fetish is specific sexual arousal connected to fingernails. It can focus on their shape, length, sharpness, or whether they're painted or not. It can also be about how they feel scratching the skin. Nail fetish can be part of a hand fetish or exist on its own.

I like to be scratched with nails, do I have a nail fetish?

Lots of people enjoy the sensation of being scratched but if you're aroused by the nails doing the scratching specifically then you have a nail fetish also known as amychophilia! Enjoy in whatever way you like best. If you just like scratching, that's cool too.

My partner has a nail fetish, what can I do?

Ask your partner what they like about nails. They may like how they look, (known as onychophilia) or it may be more about the masochistic pleasure of being scratched. Once you know, you can discuss ideas for play. Perhaps your partner would like to paint your nails or give you a manicure - maybe they'd like to watch you stroking yourself with your nails. They might want you to scratch them. You can work out what works best for you and your dynamic with some open communication.

Is my nail fetish OK?

Of course! If it brings you fun and sexual fulfilment, it's a fantastic thing indeed. However, fetishes can become obsessional, if you feel you're not in control of your fetish and you're worried about how much you think about it, then contact a medical professional.

    There's a lot of talk about different erogenous zones - but that doesn't mean you should leave out the hardier parts of your physique entirely! Your hands do a great deal of work for you, and the bedroom is no exception. They're your primary tools for masturbation, for manually stimulating your partners and for getting to know a body intimately well - yours or someone else's. Look after them and learn how to use them well, and they will serve you beautifully. Some people also have a kink for other people's hands, of course - the hands can tell you a lot about someone's personality, and there's something extremely erotic about watching someone you're attracted to working with theirs.
    Everyone has veins, but not everyone has a vein fetish. People who are very attracted to visible veins may have this fetish. Some of the most common vein fetishes include visible veins in a man’s hands and arms, veins showing on breasts and cock veins. Vein fetish is the attraction to seeing veins visible under a person’s skin. This particular fetish can connect with medical fetishes, for example, wanting to tap veins to find if they’re suitable for taking blood. Mostly though, vein fetish is all about the look and feel of veins usually on another person’s body. Some vein fetishes especially love varicose veins; others just prefer natural veins that show through the skin. Veins that create ridges above the level of the skin is something that is particularly attractive for people with a vein fetish.
    There are a few ways that a person's hair can interact with various kinks and fetishes. People are often drawn to bright peroxide blonde hair, for example, while a lot of people find redheads instinctively attractive. Submissives into femdoms might look out for dark, glossy brunettes, while unnatural dyed colours can be appealing in age play or cg/l circles. Then there's hairstyle: pigtails, shaved heads and more unusual cuts have all been involved in a variety of fetishes before now! The most important thing of all, of course, is not to let your partner pressure you into changing your appearance in ways you're not happy with. If the thought of having them pick a hairstyle or dye colour for you fits in with how you want to do BDSM, then that's great - but if not, don't feel you need to change yourself just to please them.
