Here are some common fetishes, described in a respectful and non-explicit way.

In order to further highlight the type of dangerous or fetishes with high risk we put a (!) mark next to each fetish titles if applicapble.

A BDSM

This term stands for bondage, discipline/dominance, submission/sadism, and masochism. This fetish often Involves power dynamics, control, and sometimes pain, with consenting partners.
