Biting Fetish (odaxelagnia)
This phenomenon represents a specific sexual interest characterized by the enjoyment of “love-bites,” a practice shared by individuals of various genders. It is often situated within the broader framework of sadomasochism (S&M), where acts of biting can serve as a source of sexual stimulation and gratification. The dynamics of this fetish involve reciprocal exchanges between partners, wherein biting behaviors can escalate beyond mere nibbling. When the actions increase in intensity to the point of potential bloodletting, the necessity for rigorous safety protocols becomes paramount. Participation in this fetish necessitates clear communication, informed consent, and attentiveness to partner comfort and safety, thereby enhancing the overall experience and the pleasure derived from these intimate interactions.
