Expertise
If your fetish involves gear I can take it on. From electrosex to medical play I'll give you the best shot I can. I deal with some of the strangest things on an everyday basis and would be glad to help answer any question you might have, no matter how crazy or mundane. *New* If you're under 18, I'm no longer answering your questions. I understand that most people lose their virginities before they're 18, and that getting good advice, or even treated seriously as a sexual being can be problematic, but I'm not comfortable that the 12 year olds or such who are asking questions are always really 12 year olds and not strange old men or FBI agents. So, for any underage kids thinking of asking questions, here's my response up front: Use condoms (you aren't ready to have sex if you can't buy condoms), and don't do anything you're uncomfortable with.

We spent a lot of time finding quality kink gear to carry and make sure that it's all high quality and consistently satisfying, so we should know our stuff.

Fetishism - exposing fettish to daughters


Expert: XR - 1/18/2009

Question
My husband has a nylon / women's bathing suit fettish.  We have 2 daughters, now just turned 6 and 2 1/2.  From the time the oldest was 2 years old, I asked my husband to please stop weating nylons and/or woman's bathing suits in front of her.  She is now 6 and he is still doing this!  I don't make a big issue of it in front of the girls but he knows that I don't like it and refuses to understand that this is not good for the girls.  I feel that this is his (our) secret and he should not burden the girls with this secret.  Also, when they are old enough to understand that most men don't wear this, they may become confused and maybe even ashamed.  And finally, I believe that his fettish is a private thing that should not be shared outside of the bedroom...What do you think?  Is it harmful for our daughters to regularly see their father wearing this?

Answer
Harmful, I don't know, very awkward, yes.
 As I see it, I feel that as fetishes tend to be sexual they should be kept from one's kids. If this were a lifestyle that he is living and everyone in the neighborhood and at work gets to see him in a swim suit, then no problem. However, if this was previously between him and you, and now he's involving your daughters, I believe that to be creepy. So I'm backing you up on this. Either he wears the bathing suits to work and to the supermarket, or he keeps them just for you. Otherwise creepiness and awkwardness are sure to ensue.
