A fetish in which swimwear, such as bikinis, one-piece suits, board shorts, or speedos, produces sexual arousal or becomes a central focus of attraction. The garment itself, or the way it fits and clings to the body, carries the erotic charge rather than the person alone.
For many people with this fetish, the appeal is tied to specific details: the wet fabric, the cut of the suit, tan lines, or the contrast between what is covered and exposed. It often overlaps with poolside or beach settings, competitive swimming, and the sense of vulnerability or display that wearing minimal clothing in public can create.
Worth knowing: This fetish usually involves no physical risk, but when it plays into a scene or dynamic, the same basics apply: clear consent about who wears what and in front of whom, plus respect for whichever setting the clothing is worn in.
Also called: bikini fetish, speedo fetish, one-piece swimsuit fetish, wet swimwear fetish, competitive swimwear fetish, beachwear fetish, swim briefs fetish, rash guard fetish
