This list of fetishes used in the survey was derived from existing lists in public sources.  It is not exhaustive (think about that for a while!) and is not meant to represent any particular person or persons.  Meaning, just because women engage in such behaviors does not mean any particular person engages in any particular behavior.Kinky Hearts
