QUOTE: “THE ONLY WAY TO RECEIVE A WEDGIE IS WHEN THE GIVER TUGS AND PULLS LIKE IT'S A TUG OF WAR SHE REFUSES TO LOSE.” – DAVE *** So here we go again. Lately I have been conducting some intriguing exploration into the fascinating alternative community fetish of Sexual Wedgies. Words like “TIGHTY WHITIES,” Atomic Wedgie, Frontal, Hanging, Swirly, Ripping, Chilly, Backward, Messy, Scarecrow (really?!), and Breakfast Wedgies - just to name a few - have been swirling through my mind. So, what is all this wedgie pining all about? Let’s delve in a little bit further into the secretive wedgie fetish world. Apparently, Wedgie Kink has been gaining in popularity recently, and has grown into a huge community. Many are highly aroused and derive great pleasure from the kink or fetish of giving and receiving wedgies. Fetishes for wedgies is a sought after niche in the kink/BDSM community that is steeped in ROLE PLAYING, VOYEURISM, PAIN AND HUMILIATION. For some, when RECEIVING A WEDGIE, the TIGHTENING SENSATION in their pelvic area of having their underwear or panties pulled up tightly is PLEASURABLE. For others, it's the sense of POWER AND CONTROL that comes with GIVING A WEDGIE, and watching someone receive a wedgie, SEEING THE UNDERWEAR GET SCRUNCHED UP, that is a turn-on. It should be noted that one can also give themselves a wedgie. There is a large role playing aspect to this kink, reminiscent of high school days, when one was bullied in a painful or humiliating moment, and the dynamic of bully and bullied can now be recreated. The role play can even be reversed, where the bully character is the one receiving the wedgie. This scene could be inspired by a movie, T.V. show or cartoon, where wedgies were always a joke, or perhaps could be a way of reframing a past humiliating or distressing personal experience. Therefore, one can see the wedgie experience in a sexual way. People get so caught up in the bullying, painful aspect of wedgie scenes, but some prefer wedgies to be PLAYFUL AND PLEASURABLE. “The way a wedgie looks is a big turn-on for me.” – Wedgie King. I will refer you to ‘CaptainCadefVos’ extensive ‘List O’ Wedgies’ and their definitions on wattpad.com, where you can investigate them more thoroughly. Notably, some of the most popular wedgies are: ATOMIC WEDGIE: A popular and extreme form of a wedgie, when the back of someone's underwear is pulled up and stretched up past his back, over the top of his head, and wrapped across his forehead. The wedgie aspect of its name derives from the fact that the rest of the underwear is stretched so tightly that it wedges into the person's rear end. It is called an ‘atomic’ wedgie because, unlike a regular wedgie, where the underwear is simply pulled up the back, in this case the result is much more dramatic or devastating, suggesting an extreme or exaggerated level of force or power, emphasizing its intensity and impact. SWIRLY WEDGIE: It’s when your head is in the toilet and your underwear is yanked up your butt at the same time. It was often given by a bully at school. MESSY WEDGIE: A wedgie where honey, hot sauce, oil, soap, shampoo, bananas or maple syrup, etc. are used. PRACTICAL TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS - Go for STRETCHY FABRICS IN UNDERWEAR/ PANTIES, like cotton and polyester; this will provide the painful sensation, getting more intense as you go. If you're doing a Hanging Wedgie - where the recipient is literally hanging in the air by their underwear - it’s important to double up on the underwear to avoid tearing the material. If PAIN is what turns on your partner, go more with FORCE in your playtime. If it is HUMILIATION that turns on your partner, play up a little more TEASING and social bullying in your play scene. How about a SNEAK ATTACK on your partner, SURPRISING THEM when they are not expecting it, where you can WATCH THEIR REACTION with glee. PHYSICAL AND EMOTONAL ASPECTS OF SEXUAL WEDGIES - Physical: The sudden and forceful yanking of the underwear can cause clothing to tear, scratches, bruises, and even bleeding. Wedgies, especially when performed on males, can be dangerous, potentially causing testicular or scrotal damage. New to this fetish? Think safety first, start slowly. Emotional: The victim may feel violated and humiliated, leading to emotional trauma such as anxiety and depression. Many feel shame regarding being turned on by sexual wedgie kink, and feel that it is hard to explain to their partner. Thus they feel the need to keep it a secret from their sexual partners, burying it deep inside, to avoid being labelled a ‘freak.’ This fetish is more common than many think though. It is hoped that there would be open-mindedness and understanding where this fetish is concerned. The more one is educated around the Wedgie Fetish, the less it will be a societal barrier. Self-proclaimed "Wedgie Nerds" are plentiful, claiming to have had this fetish since they were 10 or 12 years old, and have accepted it as being a part of their lives. "No one knows this about me, and probably never will..."
