oh baby.

Also screwdrivers with multi-head kits. Phillips screwdrivers.

Strictly speaking, the only thing I truly fetishise is a beating heart/pulse.

Plums: where you stand on ratchet-screwdrivers, eh?

I bought one, and I find myself constantly making it make that "click" sound when you wind it back. Creepy.

Ahh yes, I can definately vouch for the deep satisfaction that well-stocked toolbox can bring. When I get hold of a black Swiss Army knife and a big ol' Maglite, my life will be complete.

Mmm yeah. Am the proud possessor of a lovely chunky-handled multi-headed ratchet screwdriver.

And rothkoid, know exactly what you mean.

Next on my list is a proper toolbox, with drawers for all my different tools...

Swords. Swords are sexy (and not because they could be considered phallic, but more likely because I am a sad David Gemmell fan who likes shiny things). I would collect swords if such a thing were financially possible. I too like marbles...I was very very good at marbles once, and they are so very pretty.

Bags. The bag thing started with a maroon velvet Billy Bag with £30 off (£15 instead of £45). I did not buy it, but I strongly considered it. I think it is about finding the perfect one, much like the notebook thing - I recently got a khaki one from Hennes which I am extremely pleased with... floppy and scruffy enough to be cosy, just the right size and shape to be kinda cuddly on the Tube, and to cart about a book, mobile phone and personal cd player in... Yes, I do like boxes, but they do not really work as comfort blankets, and I think that is what I am after with the bag thing...

I could probably develop a hat fetish if I had the cash. Some of Philip Treacy's hats are very very beautiful. And I've always wanted aviator goggles, but I think I'm getting off the point a bit now...

Aviator goggles, yes! And the leather hat that goes with them. Mmm.

Hang on; I think the Camel's double-parked. Back in a mo, eh what?

chol. with youon the hat thing, if I could afford one-off jobs.

Seen The Hat that Helen Mirren wears in the The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (all two-tone blakc/green feathers...lurvely)? Can never remember the designer

*drooling*

The costumes in that one are all Jean-Paul Gaultier. So it's probably likely that it's one of his - I didn't see another haberdasher listed on the credits at the IMDB.

So lust away, with a direction for that drool!

anything black.

many things red.

demons and blood.

motorbikes as they change gear at high speed, with that little PHUT noise they make.

feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, the entire gluteus family of muscles, midriffs (holy shit, midriff), lower backs, ribs, chests, breats, nipples, necks, collar bones and the little hollows they make, spines and the curve thereof, hair, or lack of it, mouths, eyes, noses.... and ears not so much.

also, hands, forearms, a good taught bicep, shoulders, strong and weak on a woman, and armpits.


clothed bodies look even better thamn naked ones sometimes, if they are dressed well.

and shoes, fucking hell, shoes.

i always wanted to be a girl to gave the option of running through a list of three hundred pairs of strappy shoes before you even get to the boots. i mean, they wouldbnt suit me, but the choice and the fun you can have with a pair of stripper's heels...


i suppose i should mention the gentitals here, but is that just a little too obvious?


i guess what i should really just say is that i like it all.


absoloutely all of it.

well, except scat and snuff.


and it has to be a really pretty car for me to get all 'crash', or even just a pretty girl, i suppose.

a ford falcon, souped up like its the future and there's no guzzle-ine, smashing into a bus full of newly trained nun's on their way to the big convent school up the hill.

that works.

wait, i lied.

i do like snuff, as long as afterwards there is a wee note telling you its not real.

but even then, it terrifies me that i like it.

the question is, do i post on this kink thread, or the other one???

Assuming that this is now a kink thread, it might make sense to lock one of them and provide a link to the other.
 
 
Ganesh
17:35 / 03.06.03
I'd say this thread concerns itself with those inanimate objects we find sexy in a Nigella Lawsony kind of way - whereas the other thread's about those objects/people/situations we find sexy in an Ed Gein kind of way. Mmmm... old lady skin-suits...
 
 
pomegranate
17:41 / 03.06.03
maybe lock this one...i'm just prejudiced cos it has the word "fetus" in it...

I concur with what Ganesh says... it's not like we are generally averse to a bit of redundancy and confusion anyway. Keep 'em both.

jee-sus.


two threads?

surely barbelith can't survive the unstreamlined meanderings of so many PERVERTS?

or maybe it will...




ps
i think its my fault, i went and posted to the kink thread, and then the fetish thread.
and i didnt even mean to! i was researching outfits for my mate faye. honest.

Yuh, huh. That's waht they all say. Then half-an-hour later they're being dragged out of the ladies' changing rooms in Marks and Spencer's, still clutching a flannelette nightie and a hat with cherries on.

I also like sex toys/equipment. Especially really well-made SM stuff, and furniture which I shall never be able to afford, probably (a good reason to take a carpentry course except I'd probably lose a hand or something). I am the proud owner of two beeeautiful floggers with hand-turned wooden handles.

Rocks - semi-precioussss stones and so forth. Also jewellery to some extent. And flowers, growing ones...
 
 
Char Aina
19:35 / 03.06.03
im with you there.
even if you are not going to use it, well made BDSM stuff looks nice.
i was wearing wrist restraints as jewellery long before i 'got' it.

tying up my inner child, or something.

Maps! Ooo, I could (and do) stare at them for hours... Computers are good too.

I saw this horrible movie 'Moscow', where a guy poked a hole in a map of Russia where Moscow was and had sex through it. That wasn't very sexy though. Just odd.

Oh, yes, mapful goodness! I love maps! Back in the dark ages when all we had was woodburning internet, I had the most excellent stationary made out of obsolete ordinance survey maps. Too cool.

Well-made men's button-down shirts. Shell buttons. Dark charcoal grey or dark navy blue wool suiting fabric, pinstriped, lightest possible weight.

Gah, I'm making myself drool.

a really good synthetic-bristle paintbrush fresh out of the wrap. the new longhandled mink are so nice.

fingertape. this could only make sense to a painter or perhaps woodworker - it's cloth tape wrapped in a certain way around the fingertips of one hand to protect them while doing a lot of hand sanding.

paint. but more broadly... all the smells and textures... a high quality interior latex - there's one kind that smells like marzipan, and thinner, and stain, shellac, ooh bowling alley wax - and don't start me on the finishes....

I chose my profession partly because of a strong sensual attraction to the tools and materials. Very satisfying.

Kit-Cat Club: Glass marbles, among other things

YES!!! The bigger the better! It's the noise they make when you rub them together. It comes from childhood when I had marbles to big to use in my marble run so would just play with them in my hand... um... ok... that sounded a lot different in my head...

Um... what else...

Riding boots. I like polishing them. They are so shiny and... and... I really like polishing them and making them shiny. Actually, I like most boots so long as they go way up the calf. Except wellies. They're not anywhere near as fun.

The top of a lady’s hip where it kinda meets their back and their side. Don't know why. I just find that bit intriguing. It's even better if they are wearing tight jeans and a top exposing their mid-drift.

Individual mannerism and the little things people do. Like the certain way that someone might brush their hair out of their face or a way they say something. You get the idea. (Does that count?)

I better stop before I get carried away or think too much about riding boots...

Conkers. Having lived, for the last two years, next to a park full of particularly bountiful horse chestnut trees, September always finds me loitering on the way to and from work, picking up fallen seed cases, and peeling away the spiky green to reveal the gorgeous conker within. There's something so satisfying about that moment of small revelation...

Of course, then I have no idea what to do with the things. I usually fill my pockets and end up with lines of drying chestnuts on my desk or on the window sill at home.

I love the smell of oil-based paint, and turpentine, in the morning. It smells like...
 
 
Sekhmet
12:41 / 21.10.04
The smell of sawdust. Also the smell of rain, basements, caves, old books... cool, damp dustiness. Petrichor!

Small boxes, glass bottles, and drawstring bags.

Goatees and piercings on guys.

Tattoos on girls.

Red hair on anyone.

Cropped hair, long hair, dyed hair, very straight or very curly hair, interesting braids or updo's - actually, any kind of hair that's "unusual" or striking.

Knee-high boots. On me or anyone else. (*drool*)

And for some reason I really have a thing for guys' inside upper arm - like between the armpit and the elbow. That area's usually kind of smooth and pale, and the skin stretches nicely over the muscles, and it's this very human-smelling, comforting thing. I like touching and kissing and licking there.

(*retires, feeling slightly weird*)
 
 
Smoothly
12:46 / 21.10.04
Balls to conkers - it's the velvety lining in the chestnut husk that's the real pervy goodness. Twisting the fresh, waxy nut out of its casing, is there anything more luscious to the touch than the creamy interior of the shell?
 
 
Sekhmet
12:52 / 21.10.04
Okay, the conkers/casing thing just became very Freudian...
 
 
Olulabelle
15:51 / 21.10.04
Freudian indeed. But it's worth having to consider in return for the hugely endearing image of Ganesh hunting down conkers on his way home from work.

I too have a box fetish, or rather a container fetish. I like to put things in things. Neatly.

Yes, boxes and feathers, any kind of paper but especially brand-new, pristine pieces, elegant male hands with clean fingernails, smooth bits of glass, round, tactile pebbles and anything found in or on the ground that feels like treasure. Once I went to an old metal factory and outside the ground was covered with tiny pressed-out metal shapes. It was like gravel there was so much of it and I sat there for ages picking bits out.

Oh. I appear to have just discovered I am actually not a person and probably actually a Magpie.

Um. You like to ... put elegant male hands (with clean fingernails) ... in? boxes?

I was just about to ask the same thing.

It's OK, Ottoline. Your secret is safe with us.

Ahhhhhh! This thread has suddenly made me feel so much more at home and at one with the world. Could it be true that the majority of Barbelithers share my fetishes of office supplies, especially fountain pens and fresh clean paper? Not only that, but also ratcheting screwdrivers and high quality tools of all kinds? Then boxes....

My particular fetishes give me the penchant for creating many things, especially beatiful letters of correspondance written with caligraphy pens on fine unlined stationary, often embossed. It makes me feel so in touch with the universe.... ommmmmm....
