Fetish of the Month Sept 2021: Amaurophilia
One of the secrets to an incredible sexual experience is the imagination. With your own imagination you can create and enjoy your own personal fantasy or even your own personal choice for a partner, just don’t admit to it. One way to deepen the fantasy is by using a blindfold. It’s a simple tool that will allow your mind to anticipate what will happen next. With a covering over the eyes you hand over the power to your partner to surprise you with their next move whether it is oral pleasures, natural sex, ice cubes, tickling, sexual tools or whips, anything could be on the table so you may want to have a safe word handy. The use of a blindfold is the first step into the exploration into bondage or BDSM fantasies. It is known as Amaurophilia which is defined as a fetish or preference concerning blindness, either real or simulated.
Most of the time amaurophilia is used as a form of bondage and fantasy but is also could be described as having sex in total darkness due to religious guilt or low self-esteem as described in the urbandictionary. There is related paraphilia described in a very interesting article posted by Dr. Mark Griffiths called Blindness Fetishes Defined. In this article Dr. Brenda Love describes lugerastia which refers to those who only experience arousal in darkness. Dr. Love goes on to say that amaurophilia may be conditioned to respond sexually when a partner is asleep or has their eyes closed. She even goes as far to say that this may be due to childhood experiences with those who may be “acting asleep”. The article states that is based on her opinion from her own studies and is debatable among those in that field.
