Can Massage or Cuddling be a fetish ?

[MissBodyrubs]

Asking for a friend lol 

[ks****]

Hell yeah

[A_Bad_Dad]

Hell yeah!
But just to be on the safe side come see me so we can swap massages and cuddles to be sure....

[Deleted Member]

I love both!
Especially cuddles tho

[Tickler101]

Anything CAN be a fetish. Are those things just enjoyable for you or are you very turned on by them alone?

[ey****]

yes - though, a kinda but

can the friend only get aroused from cuddling or massage - if so, it's a fetish

with the term being relaxed a bit, can they get aroused without it, but it heightens the orgasm - some would say is a fetish

is it kinda... it's nice but doesn't have to be every time, even if you love it - then it's at best a kink

not that anything wrong with these 

[ph****]

Only if it’s needed for pleasure/arousal. If it’s something that you’re into because you dig it, it’s a kink.

Yes depends on how you doing that massage

Literal definition being sexual arousal… yes it can be a fetish. But even if it’s not sexual arousal but what “friend” finds most gratifying or gets the most from… it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is it makes them happy. It’s also not detrimental to anyone else. So labels don’t matter.

I respectfully disagree with your final statement. Labels do matter, a sub may not be a bottom and a Dom might not be a Master.

I have a massage and cuddling fetish if that answers your question 🤷🏾‍♂️. I've done it in absence of sex, just to do it. Her Aunt Flow wasn't visiting so it was no excuse, just a reason, to cuddle or give/receive massages. Mental orgasms

Ok… but your definition of those labels will be different from someone else’s. Labels only matter at a very basic generic level. Everyone has their own semantic interpretation based on their own background. Even basic things like the difference between sun and slave, or what any “philia” is or entails varies massively from person to person. So while they’re useful as a ballpark term the actual personal definition only comes about from s’more in depth understanding of the individual.

Sub and slave… auto correct

For fear of hijacking the thread, agree to disagree.

By all means… I’m not the expert or authority. Only my opinion. And welcome all others.

[StrictMaster44]

Absolutely!!

[Driver0143]

Yes it can

[theCobbler77]

Yes x it's one of my main kinks x but lady tied in various positions n me massage and using my mouth exploring n relaxing on sofa x alot of foot play while relaxing to x

[QXX666]

Semantically no. Psychologically yes. To be classified as fetish that person would have to be aroused sexually every time they get a massage or cuddles. Which raise concern when they get that action done by random person or family members…

[si****]

Oh it definitely is

[wr****]

Yes definitely x

No, it's called self control

I'm not sure I'd entirely agree - for example it'd certainly be a fetish if someone couldn't get aroused without it - rather than necessarily uncontrollably getting aroused with it

[J-****]

I don’t think it’s a fetish, I think it’s a common human need.
