I only get aroused by stroking a woman’s nose – I’m so embarrassed
DEAR DEIDRE: STROKING a woman on her nose is the only way I can become sexually aroused.
It doesn’t matter how attractive she is, I just have to do it to get into the mood.
I am 44 and currently single. Most women are hesitant initially, but soon get used to me.
Admittedly a few have run a mile and I don’t blame them. I’ve heard of a foot fetish, but never a nose one.
I have been this way for more than 28 years and would love to know if my fixation can be cured.
It’s always so embarrassing telling someone I like that I need to stroke their nose to get turned on.
Would therapy be helpful to help me to change my behaviour?

DEIDRE SAYS: Everyone’s turn-ons are different. What excites one person will fall flat for another. Everyone has individual things that get them going.
Nasophilia is sexual attraction to the nose – and this includes touching, rubbing or stroking it.
Your fetish may have its roots deep in your past, even in your childhood. My fetishes support pack should help you to understand this more.
Generally speaking, nose fetishes are completely harmless. If it gives you pleasure and nobody is forced to participate, then it’s not an issue.
But if you would like to learn more it would help to see a sex therapist. Find details in my Sex Therapy support pack.
