Trichophilia

Trichophilia, also known as a hair fetish, is a sexual attraction to hair, particularly long, flowing hair. It is a form of partialism, where a specific body part becomes the primary focus of sexual arousal. ### Why People Are Into It A survey of more than 6,000 fetishists found that about 7% were into hair. Why? Lots of reasons! Here are a few common ones: ### Sensory Appeal Many people with a hair fetish have a "type," like long, curly, or a certain color. Others may be aroused by the scent, softness, or feel of hair on their skin. ### Sexual Tool Hair can be used in many ways in sexual play. It can be sensually washed, braided, used for tickling, or even for acts like hairjobs and bunfucks. ### Early Life Experiences Sometimes people can tie their hair fetish to an early childhood experience, which can create an association between hair and sexual excitement. ### Ways to Play There are so many ways that people with trichophilia enjoy hair as part of their sexual lives. Here are just a few: ### Touching Touching the right kind of hair can do the trick for some hair fetishists. This includes stroking it, running their fingers through it, or pulling it during kinky play. They might also enjoy having someone's hair touching them in a sensual way, or even resting in or being enveloped by long hair. ### Grooming Someone with trichophilia might be into brushing, combing, or braiding a partner's hair. Other grooming such as washing, drying, oiling, or styling could be included here too. ### Kinky Stuff People might incorporate hair into their sex play. They might wrap the hair around their penis (a hairjob), or rub against or be penetrated by bound hair (a bunfuck.) Braids or long hair can also be used as restraints, blindfolds, or tickle toys in BDSM play. ### Visual Fun For some people, watching haircut scenes, hair-styling videos, or pornography featuring hair play is their source of fun. ### Roleplay Some people roleplay scenes involving hair salons, hairdressing, or barbershop fantasies. They might participate in haircut scenes. This can be done as part of a power exchange dynamic. ### Safety and Consent Hair play is relatively low risk, but there are still physical, emotional, and boundary-related factors to keep in mind. It's important to always gain consent before interacting with someone's hair. It's also a good idea to discuss specifics, especially if venturing into more kinky play.
