Strap-On Play

Strap-on play involves the use of a dildo attached to a harness worn on the body, allowing the wearer to penetrate their partner. While commonly associated with lesbian sexuality, this practice spans all sexual orientations and relationship configurations, including heterosexual couples engaging in pegging (where a woman penetrates a man anally).

The fetishistic appeal can derive from gender role reversal, dominance/submission dynamics, the visual aesthetic, or the physical sensations for both partners. For wearers, specialized harnesses may include features that provide stimulation or accommodate their anatomy. Many enthusiasts appreciate the psychological aspects of wielding a phallus, the intimacy of role reversal, or the access to prostate stimulation that strap-on play can provide.

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.
