Stocking fetishism is a sexual fetish relating to women’s stockings. Stocking fetishists may particularly find sexual partners clothed in sheer nylon or silk stockings to be sexually stimulating, or find the act of a person donning or removing a pair of stockings arousing. This can also be related to pantyhose fetishism or transvestic fetishism. Some men find it arousing to collect and wear stockings, panties and suspender belts sometimes hidden under a pair of trousers.

Pantyhose fetishism is a very common sexual fetish involving women’s pantyhose (known as “tights” in the UK). As with many other common fetishes it can and often does first surface in early childhood and/or during adolescence.
