Shaved Or Hairy?
Tricophilia
Tricophilia, or to put in simple terms hair fetish, is one of those fetishes that is very poorly represented on the Internet. It’s not so much that there aren’t a large group of people out there who find hair, playing with hair, cutting hair, or even shaving heads stimulating. It’s that the sites are a little amateur in presentation and finding out how people feel about it.
In common with many of the lesser known fetishes Tricophilia on the Web consists most of slightly chaotic sites by devotees and opportunistic pay sites. I can’t even find any scientific papers on this particular philia so even the research community seem to have passed it by. Well, except for one which refers to it as a “delusion” fetish and links it with schizophrenia. Not an entirely sympathetic view on what is not an uncommon fetish.
What have I learned about Tricophilia?
It seems to be about many and varied loves of hair and what you can do with it. It can be looking at hair, brush and combing, styling, cutting, putting it in rollers … the list seems inexhaustible. If you can do it with hair someone will get a buzz out of it.
I can understand it. While not a fetish of mine I do enjoy having my hair played with and my scalp touched. Therefore to that extent I see it as simply fetish based on the undoubted sensory pleasures of hair and the head.
A little more difficult to understand, from the point of view of a non-tricophile is the attraction of seeing someone shaved. Maybe they (those being shaved or those looking-on) find bald heads attractive, or is it the shaving itself? Perhaps it’s the removal of the long hair that so often indicates femininity.
By that I don’t mean that removal of hair automatically creates an androgynous creature. Some women look great with shaved heads – and that coming from someone who loves long hair. It could be that the removal of the clichéd mark of a woman serves to emphasise a woman’s other features.
At the other end of the scale that could be the exact reason why shaven-headed women are intriguing, a removal of their sex, or a subjugation.
This research has produced more questions than answers, so if anyone out there can give their take on Tricophilia I’d be happy to hear it.
I am a tricophile (ugh – sounds creepy) but I really don’t like hair cutting/shaving stuff – that’s odd. Also ‘hair porn’ doesn’t do anything for me really and it’s more about feel and smell and look as well as the person it’s attached to. I find that hair is a big part of someone’s attractiveness and I much prefer brunettes for some reason. Fantasies are along the lines of kissing/hugging/making love to beautiful woman with her hair touching us and playing with it etc… Hopefully that’s given you some insight! Out of interest how much do you notice hair (specifically Alex with Suze’s) when getting intimate?

A lot!
I love long hair, though as I said not to the extent that I’d classify it as a philia. It’s much more the appreciation of her flowing chestnut brown locks and the way they lay on the pillow and the way her hair moves and dances when we’re making love.
The aroma is part of it too, the way it can trap the scent particles, always reminds me of when we first got together. Like I said, good associations rather than a fetish.
:o)
I am a complete tricophile, I love a woman’s hair. Myself, I like dark, long hair that’s at least half-way down the womens’ back. I have thoughts of combing a women’s hair that is long and dark. I don’t know why I like it, people have told me it’s because of my mother, but I know that is not the case because my mother has shorter hair. I am going to be honest I am not atracted to my mother at all, like alot of people that have fetishes are. I like long dark hair to run my fingers through, and honestly I have never played with a women’s hair like i want to.
