Observed annually on the third Friday of January, International Fetish Day is a celebration of diversity in sexual expression and a way to promote understanding and acceptance of consensual adult kinks. International Fetish Day 2025 falls on January 17. Originating in the UK as ‘National Fetish Day,’ it has grown into a global acknowledgment of fetish communities and the importance of safe, sane, and consensual practices. The day also aims to combat stigma surrounding fetishes and encourage open conversations about sexual preferences without judgment. The day is symbolised by the “perverts wear purple” initiative, encouraging supporters to wear purple to show solidarity with the fetish community. It serves as a reminder that everyone has unique desires, and consensual exploration of these can lead to deeper personal and relational fulfillment. Is Cuckolding a Threesome?
