According to a recent study conducted by adult products manufacturer, CalExotics, during Harvard Sex Week, “fetishes are much more common than we think. Nearly half of those surveyed say they either have a sexual fetish or believe they have a sexual fetish, and more than 50 percent have told a partner about a fetish they find interesting.” The survey was conducted by Dr. Jill McDevitt during an interactive “Fetishes A-Z” course by approximately 50 students.

Key Fetish Findings:

• When asked about attitudes toward fetishes, 22% said “yes please,” and another 40% said “I’m intrigued.”
• Only 18% thought fetishes were “kinda weird”
• 43% said they either have or believe they have a fetish
• 45% said that a partner has expressed interest in a specific fetish
• 53% have told a partner about a fetish they are interested in
• When compared side-by-side with a list of existing fetishes, the ones that emerged as most interesting to the students were humiliation and power

Fetishes – Other Survey Findings:

• More than 80% said they were confident or somewhat confident with their sexual abilities
• Individuals favoring a submissive role outnumbered those preferring a dominant role two to one
• 40% have tried anal sex before; approximately 24% had participated in an orgy or threesome
• 46% and 37% have engaged in BDSM and role/fantasy play, respectively

“Our mission is to create a safe space for the community where sex is discussed in a positive and educational way, and fetishes are definitely part of that conversation,” said Harvard Sex Week Co-Chair and college senior, Lita Peña. “Similar to CalExotics, we want to promote the concept that sex doesn’t have to be a ‘one-size-fits-all’ topic or something we should scorn.”
