Fetish Sock: from Lolita to Britney Spears
Sock fetishism refers to the method of getting sexual pleasure out of
socks. It isn't just a partner wearing socks who embodies a sexual
ideal for a sock fetishist: their pictures or the socks themselves can
also be an object of arousal. Some people with sock fixation prefer
dealing with brand new socks, for others the main sexual stimulator is
the strong smell of worn socks. Strangely enough, but sock fetishists
can have no attraction to fetish
foot despite its relation with fetish
sock. Sometimes these are special shape, color or size of socks that
inspire fetish sock fans with desire.
In the 1970's tubesocks in combination with shorts became an object of fetish fashion, as
well as soccer socks, often coming with such fetish clothing item
as soccer uniform. Actually, uniforms
fetish has many fans all over the world, regardless of their
sex or social status. For example, schoolgirl uniform
fetish
was popularized both by literature and pop-music: everyone must
remember Britney Spears wearing school dress with white socks in
“Baby One More Time”. However, fashion for school
uniform
fetish socks spread much earlier. Thus, in his famous novel
“Lolita” Vladimir Nabokov not only described a cute
nymphet, but paid particular attention to her socks which were
considered as a real sexual stimulus.
Internet is also used to spread fetish sock subculture. Many websites
refer to fetish sock as a form of fetishism, covering various related
topics and fulfilling fetishists' needs..
Fetish socks are usually opaque nylon, knee high, argyles or
cableknits. Toe socks which gained their popularity in the 1970's,
became fashionable in the 1990's again, often featuring striped color
and knee high length. They are generally worn with flip-flops
representing for some people a kind of fetish
shoes.
Toe socks are also much appreciated by non-fetishists, because they
have fashionable design, prevent the formation of blisters or athlete
foot, absorb sweat and are warmer. Today they are available in plain
colors and different sizes.
