Underwear Fetish?

...Chill and ask Salome Mitter all your questions on sex.

My boyfriend has a weird fetish. He likes slipping on my underwear sometimes when we are in bed. Now he wants me to gift him some of my own so he can wear them when he feels like, to supposedly feel closer to me. Should I be worried here?

So, that’s a tad unusual but like you yourself mentioned, it’s a fetish that turns him on. And who is the world to define what’s normal and what’s not if you both are turned on by it? Point is, sex play or activities that are consensual and do no harm, are normal even if they are not the norm. And yes, this includes his fondness for your underwear. It could simply be the sensory experience of your lacy or silk underwear as compared to his own, which is probably simple cotton. Now he wants a few of your items so he can have you close to him in a way, when he’s out on his own without you.
