I don’t know that I’d call them fetishes, as they aren’t required, but the following are really high up on my lists of turn-ons:

1. Shapely feet, with a nice tan, and painted toenails. The way the tan of the arch gives way to the lighter color of her instep and sole. Put those babies in a nice pair of thong sandals, with a little bit of ankle and calf showing and I’m hanging on you like a cheap suit.

2. Upswept hair with a few strands kissing the nape of her neck. Maybe it has been a little warm that day and she’s put her hair up. There’s a little bit of a sheen on her neck where she’s been perspiring. If you’re close you can see the fine down on her neck stand up when a breeze passes over her skin.

3. Just the faintest whiff of a good perfume on her wrists. Not the smell you get when she first applies it, but the trace that’s there after a night out. You’re holding her close and you kiss her palm. That faint smell just sets me off - I have to then kiss her wrists and nibble on the little tendons.

Damn it got hot in here all of a sudden…

I agree, glasses. Most of the guys I have crushes on, I’ve seen in glasses once or twice and they’re incredibly sexy-and of course, Glenn Miller and King Aleksandar both wore glasses-Aleksandar a _pince-nez_.

Not the creepy guys in the news lately, but the genuinely good, unspoilt, high-and-mighty ones who’ll quote scripture at you and do everything they can to resist temptation. I think they have to be genuinely sincere about their beliefs, as well as extremely strong in them. Someone perhaps also a bit sheltered from modern, secular society.

Oh my gosh…I thought I was the only one!  
I watched a movie a couple of weeks ago with Gregory Peck (and perhaps that’s what did it for me, still…), and he played a priest at the Vatican during WWII. Long black cassock, with the scarlett sash, the Roman collar. Of course, it could be just Gregory Peck that was doing it, but I thought he looked even sexier and more alluring in that get up.

Yep, I’m goin’ to Hell!

Yeah … I like feet, too, but I’ll go so far as to _gasp!_ suck toes. Maybe it’s homoerotic and can be compared to fellatio in a way, but dammit … feet are sexy. (and if the toe-sucking favor is returned, it’s even better.)

And **Legomancer** , I have to agree with you on the redhead thing. The girl I’m dating now is a redhead, as was the last serious girlfriend before her (even if they did both get it from a bottle) and I found that to be incredibly sexy.

And I don’t know if this counts as a fetish, but I love to perform cunnilingus. Even if the favor isn’t returned, I still like it.

Oh God, to think … my dad reads this page! :eek:

jinwicked, that kinda sounds like the plot to “For Love of Evil” by Piers Anthony.

Oh, I just remembered one (I don’t get out much any more :))

Collars. Or necklaces or whetever. Pretty much anything hugging a shapely female neck is enough to turn me into a vampire.

I don’t mind telling y’all, that when the **Chess** fetish posts started, I began to sweat a little! 😉

Thanks for chiming in, but I still don’t see any earlobe fetishists in here, so where are ya’, dammit? 😃

**quasimodem** , count me in. I love earlobes, and I’m a neck, nape, and foot gal too. Put me down for teeth as well.

More specifically, however, I love the fine downy hair on the back of a man’s neck, especially if it’s blond or sun-bleached. Rrrrowr. I’m a fan of body hair on men in general, but the nape hair absolutely does it for me.

Ankles. Ankle chains, ankle tattoos, ankle socks. Anything down there emphasising the ankle just makes me melllltttt…

Veins.

Specifically guys or girls with thin/muscly arms [not Arny-style muscly…eww!] with veins showing. Lotsa veins. Mmmm veins.

Oh, and skinny/geeky guys. Delish.

Big tall furry men… gggggggggrrrrrr

Goatees… Just looks so… so… scrumptious! Especially when accompanied by dark skin and an earring… ooh baby!

Long straight hair

If I see a girl with clean, shiny, long straight hair, I’m captivated. The fiance has it, along with every single girl I have ever dated. I would never turn down a girl that doesn’t have it (provided I was single), it just ends up this way.

My fetish is reading about other people’s fetishes.  
Excuse me now…

(ok really it’s women in men’s button down oxford shirts, not tucked in, ideally with librarian glasses, and swept back hair… not truly a fetish as others have pointed out, but a major turn-on)

My boyfriend insists I have a fetish for men in kilts.
