The Fetish: onychophilia

What It Is: attraction to long fingernails; real, or fake

Why It Works: Theories abound on this. For most people, it recalls a time of glamor and raw sexuality, specifically it seems like the 1960′s are of particular reverence given the societal attitudes and the blending of glamor and open sexuality. For most admirers of this fetish, it’s mostly about the whole package and the nails are just one part of it. Nail fetishists often tend to have other fetishes that are similarly tied to glamor that include, but are not limited to:

• high heel fetish
• makeup fetish
• lipstick fetish

For devotees, it truly is all about the glamor and the look. Yes, there is a BDSM tie-in because of the pain and torment aspects. For those guys with a BDSM leaning, it typically hovers around CBT (cock and ball torture). However, the more traditional uses of fingernails -scratching the back of someone during a particularly thrilling sexual escapade- tends to be the greatest expression of the fetish.
