Crush fetish

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Crush fetish is a paraphilia involving the sexual arousal from seeing objects (often, but not always, involving living things) being crushed by an individual or a machine. The objects of interest in crush fetish are often items of clothing or body parts.

History

The term "crush fetish" originated in the late 20th century, with the advent of internet communities and online video sharing platforms. These platforms allowed individuals with this fetish to share and consume content related to their fetish.

Psychology

From a psychological perspective, crush fetish is considered a form of sexual fetishism. Sexual fetishism is a sexual focus on a nonliving object or non-genital body part. The fetish is classified as a form of paraphilia, which is a group of sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical or extreme.

Legal and ethical issues

There are significant legal and ethical issues associated with crush fetish, particularly when it involves harm or death to animals. In many jurisdictions, creating or distributing "crush videos" involving animals is illegal. This is due to animal welfare laws, which prohibit causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
