Menstruation

Menstruation fetishism involves sexual attraction to various aspects of menstrual periods. This may include arousal from engaging in sexual activities during menstruation, specific interest in the visual or olfactory aspects of menstrual blood, or incorporating period products into intimate scenarios.

The attraction might stem from the taboo nature of an often-stigmatized bodily function, the intimate access to a natural process, or the symbolic connections to fertility and femininity. Practitioners typically engage in this fetish with considerations for hygiene and comfort, often using towels, shower settings, or menstrual cups to manage flow during activities. Communication about boundaries is particularly important, as comfort levels with this fetish vary widely among potential partners.

About the category Fetish

Fetish describes a focused arousal response to specific objects, materials, body parts, or scenarios that aren't inherently sexual. These can include attraction to leather, latex, specific clothing items, particular body features, or specialized scenarios that create intense erotic responses beyond what might be expected from their conventional context.

People with fetishes often experience powerful, concentrated arousal from their specific interests that may enhance or even be necessary for sexual satisfaction. Far from being unusual, most people have some degree of fetishistic interest, though the intensity varies widely. Many enjoy exploring these focused desires for the heightened sensation they provide, the mindfulness they create during intimate encounters, and the opportunity to celebrate specific aspects of sexuality that might otherwise be overlooked in more conventional approaches to pleasure.
