What its like living with trichophilia the sexual fetish for hair
Table Of Content
Arousal by head hair may arise from seeing or touching very long or short hair, wet hair, a certain color of hair or a particular hairstyle. Others may find the attraction of literally "having sex with somebody's hair" as a fantasy or fetish.[4] The fetish affects both men and women. Back in November 2011, I read a Daily Mail headline 'Ritualistic hair-fetish killer serving life in British prison is convicted in Italy of 1993 teen murder'. The story concerned Danilo Restivo – a man with a fetish for cutting off women’s hair – who was sentenced to 30 years in prison following his killing of 16-year old Elisa Claps in 1993 (in Potenza, Italy).

Why do hair fetishes exist?
There’s no denying that the sanctity of hair has been around for centuries, both in reality and fiction. You have the likes of Samson, whose strength was in his hair, Rapunzel, made famous by the Brothers Grimm fairytale, and Lady Godiva, who rode through the streets on horseback entirely naked, covered by nothing but her long wavy tresses. And in a multitude of faiths, hair is also considered to be a very important physical trait.

A fetish should enhance your life - if it's not, then there is no shame in seeking help. There are lots of different body hair fetishes and plenty of kinksters who love them. If you're looking to share some hot hair experiences, check out the forum and chat with others all about body hair, haircuts and more. Trichophilia, also known as a hair fetish, is when someone feels sexually aroused by or attracted to human hair. This can be any type of human hair, such as chest hair, armpit hair, or pubic hair.

It’s perfectly fine, as long as you’re not hurting other people. Seide says trichophilia is considered a disorder when it brings dysfunction to daily life or causes distress to the individual. Hey ive been really scared to reach out cause ive always been ashamed of this kink, but haircuts, especially headshaves have always intrigued me, I really want to do it myself but im a bit scared. “If you’re acting on these desires within the confines of a consensual relationship with another adult who’s not bothered by these drives, intervention isn’t indicated,” she explains. If trichophilia changes from a fetish to a disorder, there are things you can do to reduce the urges and better manage the condition. “At that point, it has crossed over into being a pathological condition that is disruptive to life and leading to untoward consequences,” she explains.
“When the patient (a highly placed civil servant now aged 50) was seven years old, it happened one night that when he was already in bed the maid-servant, who was leaving, came up to him and embraced him. The patient still remembers quite clearly how he pushed his fingers through her hair. At the age of puberty he begun to experience sexual excitement whenever he saw or touched nicely dressed hair. He stands behind the other man, applies hair oil, which, together with combs, he always carries with him, then he combs the hair back. As the comb reaches the top of the head, ejaculation takes place…the patient, whose behavior has frequently attracted attention, is known by the nickname ‘The Hairdresser’”. As long as no one gets hurt, physically or emotionally, and it’s practiced between consenting adults, experts say it can be an enjoyable part of your sexual life.
Hair fetishist Josh, a 37-year-old from Manchester, is particularly interested in slick, straight hair, ideally waist-length or longer, and preferably brunette. “I’ve now decided to accept that it is who I am and that I am someone with a hair fetish,” he explains, saying that seeing his ideal hair profile can offer instant arousal. “The blood starts pumping, the heart rate goes up, I get a boner, and so on. Hair is extremely sexual for me, and seeing beautiful long hair on the street will turn me on. Of course, I’d wonder how it smells, what kind of shampoo she’s using, and how it would feel on my skin. Unfortunately, there is very little information provided by Hirschfield in his case study to make any serious informed speculation as to the causes and/or motivations for his fetish.
What can be the downsides of having a body hair fetish?
It obviously started in childhood and developed over the subsequent years. It would also appear that these early experiences appear to have been paired with sexual excitement and that the fetishistic behaviour most likely developed via classically conditioned experiences. Like many other fetishes and paraphilias that I have examined in my blogs, this is yet another one where there is a great need for further research.
Why is it good to have a body hair fetish?
It's always wise to be upfront and honest about your fetishes so everyone involved understands. Also, you can't expect someone to keep their hair forever long to satisfy your fetish, for example. However, open communication will help navigate these issues, and you can make compromises like satisfying your fetish with someone else or the use of false hair etc. If your fetish is negatively affecting you or your relationships, you should talk to a medical professional.
For example, someone with this type of paraphilic disorder may start showing up late to work because they spend an excessive amount of time on fetish websites. “In psychiatry, we call this egodystonic, which means that it’s no longer in alignment with this person’s belief system or in accordance with what they want for themselves,” she explains. That said, she points out that if hair needs to be the number one source of erotic stimulation in order to achieve sexual gratification, then the fetish has turned into something more serious. She also points out that for some people, just touching hair can bring the person to orgasm. Victoria Blisse is an erotic author, a sex-positive Reverend and part of Smut.UK who arranges events for curious and kinky people with a literary bent.
The source of sexual arousal may be derived from viewing, touching, or (in extreme cases) eating hair. Some authors – such as Dr. Brenda Love in her Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices – use the word ‘hirsutophilia’ to refer to fetish for armpit hair only. Dr. Love also claims that some hair fetishes are more favoured by particular genders (e.g., she claims chest hair is more likely to be preferred by females). A fetishist may enjoy seeing or touching hair, pulling on or cutting the hair of another person.[3] Besides enjoyment they may become sexually aroused from such activities. It may also be described as an obsession, as in the case of hair washing or dread of losing hair.
“The drives to act on a fetish can be quite strong and, unfortunately at times, can override the person’s better judgment,” she adds. According to board certified psychiatrist Dr. Margaret Seide, a paraphilia is an erotic focus on anything other than the genitalia of a consenting adult human partner. Here, we go over how it can show up, the ways people experience this type of fetish, and how to live with it. While the actual percentage of people who have trichophilia is unknown, it is a fetish that both men and women can develop.
But in general, having a hair fetish really just means that you get erotic pleasure from the object — in this case, human hair. To Miranda Christophers, a sex and relationship psychotherapist from London, these kind of fetishes are quite common, explaining that between 25 per cent and 50 per cent of people openly admit to possessing one. On the other end of the spectrum is 43-year-old Phil from New York City. He’s into short, shaved hair, as opposed to the long, flowing kind.
As a result, Seide says it can bring considerable shame and anguish to the person, and they can feel tormented or even disgusted by their thoughts. An example, says Seide, would be if a person began to act on urges to touch the hair of a nonconsenting person. According to a 2016 study, nearly half of the 1,040 participants expressed interest in at least one paraphilic category.
Some cultures are ambivalent in relation to body hair, with some being regarded as attractive while others being regarded as unaesthetic. For example, many Muslim women cover their hair in public, and display it only to their family and close friends.[2] Similarly, many Jewish women cover their hair after marriage. During the Middle Ages, European women were expected to cover their hair after they married, and according to the New Testament, a Christian woman should cover her head while in a church or in prayer. Haircut fetishism is a related paraphilia in which a person is aroused by having their head hair cut or shaved, by cutting the hair of another, by watching someone get a haircut, or by seeing someone with a shaved head or very short hair. “Enthusiasts claim an interest since childhood and are especially interested in shampoo commercials on TV. A few hetero voyeurs like the look of women with hairy underarms, or men with hairy chests, but there's also a gay sub-community involving "musclebears" with hairy chests.
