Wrestling fetish

Wrestling is more popular now than ever before. It’s like there’s something in the air, and countless people are suddenly realizing how fun it is to watch powerful fighters battle for superiority in front of the world.

Of course, for every one person who finds wrestling exciting, there’s another who finds it downright exciting. Who can’t help but be turned on by watching beautiful, muscular people fight each other, pin each other, and generally establish their dominance while millions are watching.

And more people than you think want to bring that kind of aggressive energy into the bedroom. For example, have you ever wanted to pin someone to the ground and feel them struggling (consensually, of course) to break free? Or maybe you’re the one who wants to be pinned and feel your adrenaline surge (among other things) as you try to wriggle loose?

If you’ve ever imagined this scenario and how hot sex would be afterward, you have a wrestling fetish. What is it all about, and how can you bring the championship belt to your bedroom? Keep reading to find out!

What Exactly is Erotic Wrestling?

Even in the world of kink, the wrestling fetish is fairly exotic. Just what is this kink all about? Simply put, it’s about a dominant partner utilizing their strength in a play fight with a submissive partner as each one wrestles for dominance.

In this fetish, nobody is supposed to get hurt, and the “wrestling match” is more like a highly physical bit of foreplay. The idea is to explore fantasies of dominance and submission in a safe and playful way that ensures nobody actually gets hurt. But this fantasy does always end with one person overpowering another, and to the right kinksters, there’s nothing quite so sexy as physically exerting dominance via wrestling.

Where Did It Come From?

Even those who love to watch their favorite fighters engage in a new wrestling match each week know the old refrain that the spot is completely fake. With that in mind, why the heck do those with a wrestling fetish want to bring this dynamic into the bedroom? After all, in a world where everyone wants erotic authenticity (aka, real orgasms rather than fake ones), it can be weird to imagine that thousands if not millions of people want such a fake wrestling experience in their love life.

In reality, there is nothing fake about the instincts involved in wrestling…namely, fierce competition, the rush of adrenaline, and close physical contact. For many, especially men, the idea of wrestling with a partner brings out these primitive animal instincts. And primitive though they may be, the combination of power, tension, and physical closeness involved in this “fake” sport can create a truly tangible sense of connection.

What About Emotional Connection?

Wrestling is obviously a very physical sport, but that doesn’t mean that the wrestling fetish is only about physical conquest. At its heart, this fetish is about establishing an emotional connection. As with any good BDSM relationship, you and your partner are trusting each other with dominant and submissive dynamics and the responsibility to navigate these highly intimate and interconnected roles.

Navigating those fetish roles involves trust in each other and extreme faith in the relationship. Ironically enough, by embracing a fantasy where one party must win and one party must lose, you can create the best kind of relationship: one where each of you always wins.

Wrestling Kink Practical Tips

Are you new to the wrestling fetish and want to explore how it makes you feel? Good news…all you have to do is start a playful wrestling match with your partner, a bit like a more physical version of a tickle fight.

Remember, you need your partner’s enthusiastic consent for this fetish…if you suddenly attack them out of nowhere, they may be just as likely to pepper spray you as go along with a wrestling fetish that you may or may not have told them about. However, most couples secure in their relationship are cool with a bit of light horseplay, and a bit of open communication after that will help you discover if your partner is comfortable with making the wrestling fetish a regular part of your relationship.

If you’re into spanking or other forms of physical play, impact play could be just what you need. And of course, if you’re all about appreciating each other’s strength and body, muscle worship or body worship are perfect for you. As with BDSM, this dynamic of control and submission is hottest once you firmly establish who the dominator and who the dominated really are.
