Smoking fetish, also called capnolagnia<\/i>, is where someone finds sexual gratification in watching someone smoke (or smoking themselves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also the undeniable parallel to a phallic shape near a vaginal shape (mouth). Add other elements like licking lips, playing with the smoking item, or even wearing enticing lipstick and it can be quite enticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REASONS FOR CAPNOLAGNIA<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

APPEARANCE<\/b><\/span>: It can be as simple as loving how the act of smoking looks in and of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONFIDENCE<\/b><\/span>: Some might link it to feeling powerful or self-confident (or confidence in others). Such things can easily be linked to arousal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVELOPMENT<\/b><\/span>: It could have something connected to childhood. Perhaps also a link to psychosexual oral and phallic during developmental years (Freud).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORBIDDEN<\/b><\/span>: Because smoking has become more and more stigmatized, some might find eroticism in doing something \u201cbad\u201d \u2013 just like the teenager sneaking out to be with a boy or girl when their parents have told them not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEDIA<\/b><\/span>: We\u2019ve all seen the \u201cI need a cigarette\u201d after sex on countless television shows, movies, commercials, and other media. Smoking has been linked to sex for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOVEMENT<\/b><\/span>: Unlike \u201cappearance\u201d, there are some who love the body language around smoking \u2013 the parting of the lips, the movement of the chest upon in\/exhale etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POWER<\/b><\/span>: In BDSM, or even regular sex, there is a power dynamic. Forcing someone to smoke (or be an ashtray) can be linked to power exchange and therefore eroticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SADOMASOCHISM<\/b><\/span>: Smoking can cause lung damage. The part of BDSM that likes to doll out pain might like this aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEALTH<\/b><\/span>: In line with media, some cultures also link smoking to wealth \u2013 e.g. cigars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
