A fetish in which robes, dressing gowns, or similar loose wrap garments become the central source of sexual arousal or erotic focus. The interest may center on the garment itself, on a specific fabric or texture, or on the act of wearing, removing, or seeing someone else in a robe.
Robes occupy an intimate, liminal position in domestic life, worn right after a shower, before bed, or while lounging, which links them to privacy and undress. Many people with this fetish are drawn to the softness of terry cloth or silk, the suggestion of what the robe conceals, or the ritual of a partner wearing one casually at home.
Also called: dressing gown fetish, bathrobe fetish, silk robe fetish, terry cloth fetish, kimono fetish, satin robe, loungewear fetish, negligee fetish
