More About Velvet Fetish

Some people who have a velvet fetish are also attracted by similar textiles, including velour, despite purists' belief that velvet is the only material that may generate sexual desire.

Velvet fetishists are usually drawn to the fabric's smooth, silky texture and the way it feels against their skin, just like silk and satin fetishists. According to many velvet fetishists, these characteristics are improved when the fabric is damp.

Many people have a childhood velvet fetish that develops into adolescence and maturity. According to Freud, Velvet was not all that different from pubic hair. This sexual connotation could explain the origins of a velvet fetish.
