Fetishism/Question about a possible fetish.

Question
I'm a gay guy and I've known from a very early age that I was different in that regard. While I was growing up, I noticed that I would get sexually aroused when I would see light shining on the nose of a guy my age I found attractive, and this started happening when I was in 4th grade and still happens sometimes. I'm wondering if there is such thing as a shiny nose fetish for both gay and straight guys?

Answer
Hey David,

You know, that is so funny. Just recently I was an admiring a dinner date. He had a very unique nose, slightly crooked from fighting in the boxing ring. I was so embarrassed because I wanted to touch the prominent arch of his nose (which he finally allowed me to do, thank God, or else I would have burst)! While your nose fetish is exceptionally different, I can understand the attraction very much.

Besides my own pension for an imperfect nose, I really have never heard of someone having a shiny nose fetishist. However, being the internet junkie that I am, and wanting instant gratification (of course), I googled the term "shiny nose fetish". While i couldn't find any erotica directly linked to this particular type of fetish (though, that isn't to say shiny nose porn doesn't exist... I just couldn't find it). But i did find some references, Nasophilia refers to the sexual attraction of the nose. Commonly, the bigger the nose, the hotter the fantasy becomes. However, But, that doesn't mean that your fetish isn't legitimate. Many people can find something about the nose or any other body part highly stimulating, whether it's because of the appearance, scent, feel, or sight of it.

So, I suppose my point is that anyone could enjoy your shiny nose fetish the same way that you do. I would suggest checking in on forums that are visited by other nasophiles. There's one I found (http://forums.pinocchia.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=2) that has some recent activity. They mostly discuss big noses but I noticed an older thread that spoke briefly about shiny noses. If you continue to search, you may also find other nose forums. Just by vocalizing your fetish, you may be able to find others who are curious and you can begin to start a conversation.

Hope you find what you're looking for.
