Relative prevalence of garment fetishism

The relative prevalences were estimated based on (a) the number of groups devoted to a particular fetish, (b) the number of individuals participating in the groups and (c) the number of messages exchanged. Within the sample population, for example, 12 percent were turned on by underwear. The top garment fetish was footwear related (high heels). ^[3][4]
