Crush fetish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A crush fetish is a paraphilia which primarily consists of the desire to see others (generally a desirable potential partner) crush or step on an object.
Crushing by feet can be the main focus (although other methods are implemented, such as sitting on the target object). The foot (barefoot or in shoes) is thus often idolised in crush erotica such as magazines, audio tapes and crush films.
[edit] Crush films
Also known as " crush films", crush films are basically footage of small insects, food,or objects being crushed by being stepped on..[1][2] Jeff Vilencia is one known director of crush films, such as Smush![3]
There are underground productions which people supposedly buy for sexual pleasure, but due to some videos involving small creatures, some films have been made illegal in certain regions. The legality of crush erotica and the actual practice of crushing varies by region. There are currently no known laws forbidding the crushing of live vertebrates, however the production or trade of crush erotica involving rodents is condemned by animal rights activists and is illegal in many countries, including the United States and Great Britain.[4]
As witnessed on online message boards and chat rooms, crush fetishists usually take a firm stance for or against what they define as hard crush (crush erotica containing the death and torture of animals).[2]
In 1999, the United States Congress enacted a statute specifically directed at crush films which criminalized the creation, sale and possession of depictions of animal cruelty. In 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit invalidated the ban on the sale and possession of such films (if not otherwise obscene) under the Freedom of Speech Clause of First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[5]
