What is hand fetishism?

Hand fetishism, also known as cheirophilia or chirophilia, is a sexual attraction or fixation on hands. It is a type of fetish that involves a strong desire for hands or preoccupation with them during sexual activities. This fetish can manifest in many ways, including admiring the shape, size, and texture of hands, touching, licking, or smelling them, or fantasizing about them. Some hand fetishists may also enjoy activities such as handjobs, fingering, or hand licking. Hand fetishism is not limited to one gender or sexual orientation and can be enjoyed by people of all types. While not considered a harmful fetish, it can be problematic if it interferes with someone's daily life or causes distress.
