Is it normal to have a nail fetish (long, unpolished)?

Firstly, I'm unsure whether to put this under the "sex" section, or "urges and desires" section. Sorry if it's in the wrong section.

I'm a straight male and I have a nail fetish. I'm attracted to nails that are long (anything above the fingertip) (nothing more than ~2cm above the fingertip either), and they must be unpainted; completely bare (and natural). Anything else is a turn off to me. I'm currently not sure whether the nails just "get me going" or I'm outright attracted to them, but it's definitely a fetish, and also probably partialism.

I've looked on various websites and I've found only the one single mention of this fetish, so already it seems *fairly* uncommon.

So my question is this: Is this fetish a common one? If not, does it even exist for anyone else at all? Thank you (read on for further info)

(More detailed information) (Explicit): If I'm having sex, I can still reach orgasm and not be sexually frustrated from someone with bitten nails (my only other experience so far), but when I do it with someone who fits my fetish, it's a lot better and I come away a lot more relieved.

What spurred me to write this post is that when my girlfriend (who fits my fetish absolutely perfectly) cut her nails, it affected me inside and I don't think someone without a fetish can understand that. We haven't done anything yet, but already I'm sexually frustrated and I know the next time won't be as great. My girlfriend does know about my fetish. Thanks again.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • I just found this post. I'm in the same boat. Especially when you said it actually hurt you or effected you on an emotional level when she cut them. I understand completely. I have had several relationships end for nail related issue, unbeknownst to my partner. I just had to understand what I actually wanted and find a girl that fits.

  • You'd love my nails, but I'm cutting soon here.

  • At least it's a safe fetish. You should tell her you like her nails long, not necessarily that it's a fetish (yet). On a side note, my nails are usually pretty long since they're strong and I forget about them.

    • She already knows about my fetish, just not how much it affects me, I think. We haven't been in a relationship *that* long, so I'll just bring it up maybe when they grow back to how I like them.
      God forbid, but should I ever get a new girlfriend, how can you tell them without sounding like a weirdo? My current girlfriend understood when I said a fetish and she tries to do all she can.
      Thanks for the side note lol.
      :)

  • Nail fetish is not common fetish but not rare either. I know people who have nail fetish too.

    • The same as mine though? I've seen people who like back scratching etc but not how I like them

  • Nah, I don't think nail fetishes are common. It definitely exists for other people, there's never just one of anything in the world. But normal? I don't think so.

    Most people have a fetish of some type, pretty much everyone can understand what you mean.
