Objects & Materials

Attraction routed through inanimate objects, textures, and materials.

Interests directed at materials and objects (latex, leather, rubber, silk, nylon) and at the way they look, sound, smell, and feel against the skin. In the classic clinical sense, this is fetishism: arousal attached to a non-living thing or a specific texture.

This category covers attraction mediated by materials and objects rather than by the body directly. It includes the second-skin synthetics (latex, rubber, PVC, spandex), natural and luxury fibres (silk, satin, fur, leather), and object-directed interests from balloons and inflatables to mechanical and everyday things.

Material fetishism is the prototype that gave the whole subject its clinical name. Most expressions are sensory and aesthetic (the gloss, tightness, scent, or sound of a material) and are practised safely between consenting adults.
