Leg Fetish
What if an entire fetish could be described by a famous song?
You’re probably familiar with ZZ Top’s hit song “Legs,” including such iconic lyrics as “She got legs, she knows how to use them.” The band really wrote a famous song about how women’s legs are…and if those lyrics ever made you feel hot under the collar, then you might have a leg fetish.
If you’re not sure, just ask yourself what you think of when you think of legs. Do pictures of long, graceful legs of a girl flash through your head? Or maybe you start fantasizing about running your hands all over a woman’s athletically long legs as you kiss your way down to her feet?
Well, if those mental images got the same erotic reaction from you as the ZZ Top lyrics, then you definitely have a leg fetish. And our guide is here to remind you that if you’ve got a leg fetish, you need to know how to use it.
What is a leg fetish?
Leg Fetishism – which is also known as Crurophilia is a kind of fetish that involves sexual attraction to legs; this could include feet, calves, thighs, knees, and even ankles! Think of it as a close cousin to foot fetishism that just happens to involve more of the body.
Have you been curiously wondering if you have a leg fetish? Maybe you recently realized how much you’d like intimate physical interaction with a nice pair of legs. Maybe you’ve even known you’ve had this fetish for a long time, and you’re just looking for a good, quick read on this kinky sexual interest?
No matter why you find legs highly attractive, we’re not going to judge you. In fact, we’re going to help you learn to worship legs in a way that gives you more pleasure than you ever thought possible.
What the Heck Is Intercrural Sex?
One of the most interesting things about fetishes is that the more you research, the more specialized terms you’ll encounter. For example, someone with a real sexual interest in legs will eventually see people referencing intercrural sex. But what the heck is this form of lovemaking, and what does it have to do with your leg fetish?
In short, this is a type of non-penetrative sex in which the penis is placed between the receiving partner’s thighs, and friction is generated via thrusting. This can be very erotic to anyone who likes a long pair of legs, and it will also be stimulating to those with a thigh fetish.
By the way, Know Your Sins is a real one-stop shop when it comes to all things kink. We’ve already written the definitive guide to intercrural sex and have covered some closely related kinks you might be into. For example, our guides on the foot fetish as well as the body worship fetish can help you explore your partner’s body in ways that will blow both of your minds.
Reasons Why You Might Have a Leg Fetish
Compared to some kinks, a leg fetish is relatively tame. Still, those who get off on gams still find themselves asking the same question the rest of us kinksters do…namely, why the hell they’re into this kink in the first place.
Ironically enough, the exact motivations for a leg fetish have changed over time. Back during the Victorian period, legs were meant to be covered up at all times, a social rule that was enforced even harder among women. As such, it was truly rare to see the bare legs of a female body unless she was your wife, sister, or mother. Some women flouted the rules and bared their legs anyway, which helped them seem like sexy rebels. In turn, they helped create some of the earliest leg fetishists, kinksters who longed for another look at the bare flesh society told them was forbidden.
Fortunately, we live in much more progressive times, and it’s common for men and women alike to wear clothing (including shorts and skirts) that show off their bare legs. Because this body part has always been so damn sexy, Western media has increasingly shown off the long legs of sexy stars and starlets in everything from blockbuster films to music videos. That leads to a kinky little irony: the earliest leg fetishism was born out of a desire to see something forbidden. Modern leg fetishists, however, want to see more of the naked gams they can’t get enough of in movies and television (not to mention online porn).
Getting the Most Out of Your Leg Fetish
A leg fetish is often associated with men, but they aren’t the only ones who get off on this particular body part. Research has proven that many people fantasize about legs; men, women, and non-binary alike. The fetish is so commonplace in part because the legs contain many erogenous zones, so stimulating them can provide some major sensual pleasure.
That’s also why those with this fetish often have fetishes for thighs and feet. Those areas are similarly filled with erogenous zones and just happen to be connected to the legs. And when you’re rubbing, licking, and even sucking on a nice pair of legs, it’s often tempting to move up or down and simply ravage your lover’s entire body.
We’re telling you this because we don’t want you to ever feel ashamed about your kink. For one thing, it’s a wildly commonplace kink. For another thing, your fetishes are your business, and as long as you have your partner’s consent, we’ll never judge how you have fun in the bedroom.
With that in mind, let’s answer the big question for everyone with this particular kink: how can you practice leg fetishes in your sex life?
Your Attraction to Mini Skirts, Shorts, and Other Similar Clothing Has Many Perks.
The display of mini/micro skirts, shorts, and similar outfits has made it even easier to be attracted to legs because they are always on display. Furthermore, this clothing gives you and your partner(s) even more opportunities to roleplay. From cheerleader girls to sexy secretaries, the naughty options are virtually limitless.
You can even get creative and go for a period piece; a Victorian roleplay with hidden legs peeking from the skirt? Not only is this historically accurate to the leg fetish, but it’s damn sexy to peel all those clothes off and get to work!
Include the Trinity of Pleasure Sucking, Rubbing, and Kissing.
Really get into your leg worship by sucking, rubbing, and kissing your partner’s feet, thigh, knee, etc. You can even include some soft bites and licks along their long feet for extra effect. Alternatively, learn more about how to worship in our worship kink guide.
Always remember that the leg is an erogenous zone, so what this will result in is sensual feelings of tickles, thrilling runs of electricity through the body, and even pleasing groans in anticipation of what you’ll do next. And it doesn’t get much hotter than those groans!
To make them go wilder, lick and suck their legs close to their genitals area, without really getting there. If you thought the moans were loud before, you might need to muffle your ears, ideally with your partner’s thighs!
Run Objects and Toys Over Your Legs of Affection.
Using an object that makes one’s legs sensitive to touch and pleasure, like a feather, is a sure way to make your partner’s body come alive with fire.
You can also gently blow a soft and gentle breeze along the length of their long legs. Additionally, using a toy like a vibrator can have an interestingly pleasurable effect on their thighs.
Power Play is an Ingredient that Never Gets Old.
Role-play with power and control; worship the feet, knees, or calves of your dominant partner and receive their praise of well done with much anticipation and excitement. Praise kink activated!
You can even include BDSM toys like handcuffs, whips and gags to bind you or your partner as you both practice this fetish. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but whips and chains are exciting for all sorts of sexy reasons.
Ever Heard of a Leg Job?
A leg job happens when a woman (or whoever you’re into) folds her knee with the penis in between and uses her folded thighs to massage the dick of the male.
This can be a very intense and interesting thing to experience when done right. Either way, it’s something exciting for you and your partner to try!
Before Sucking on Anyone’s Legs, Make Sure You Have Their Consent
As with every other kind of fetish, having a discussion with your partner(s) on what is acceptable and what is not is vital before you begin anything in leg fetishism. Consent is paramount; never anything without it.
Also, pay attention to your partner’s body language before, during, and after your fetish play. At any sign of discomfort or pain, stop immediately.
Lack of consent is a serious turn-off. Conversely, once you have it, both you and your partner can enjoy your fetish in the healthiest (and naughtiest!) ways possible.
Leg Fetish Takeaways
Wanting to give your sex life a real (ahem) step up? This leg fetish can be just what you and your partner need to remove you from the bland complacency of boring, vanilla sex.
Experimenting with leg fetishism is a great way to add some dynamic spice to your relationship. In addition to providing killer orgasms, this can really heighten the intimacy, love, and trust between you and your lover.
If people say you’re too much of a freak, remember…everyone’s got kinks, and the haters don’t have a leg to stand on. But neither will your partner once you pin them down to the bed and begin kissing all over their body, starting with those gorgeous gams!
