Crush Fetish Finally Crushed?

Fetishes

Please note that in this entry I am talking about a scene I am dissatisfied with. I have made a small, limited number of friends within the ‘crush arena’ and don’t want to alienate or judge them. These are general impressions I have been feeling recently.

I used to be proud to be counted as a crush freak - one who derives sexual pleasure from the crushing or witnessing of the crushing of other things. But now many things have contributed to my lack of interest, and at times, disgust in the fetish.

This thing will always be a part of me, but right now I feel very disconnected from it. I have tried to ignore it, but the fact that ‘hardcore’ crush fetishists take the crush act to large organisms and beyond has been playing on my mind.

Perhaps I had better state my preferences for crushing: My favourite things to crush are large fruit, or anything that is juicy or crumbly. Not only is it visually compelling to me, but also I enjoy the feeling of the object crumbling and squishing under my sexy footwear. My biggest thrill is if someone were to be present and enjoy watching me, since it gives the most power rush. It’s not about being sadistic to living creatures.

I do step on bugs, mostly because I can’t stand them (so I stand on them), it’s convenient to kill them, quick, and I don’t want them in my house. Daddy long legs just freak me out and I can’t rest until they are resting in pieces (ho ho!). I admit, I got a quasi-sexual thrill from stomping on a speeding roach in my fetish boots. Now a lot of hardcore fetishists would call me a hypocrite because I ‘draw the line’ at stepping on small bugs and won’t crush, say, a cute little kitty.

And even in the realms of crushing bugs, so many times, a woman going out of her way to step on a bug when there is no need just seems vulgar to me these days. I admit, I have some strange enjoyment of it, which has diminished to almost zero recently, but I seem to want to keep it mostly to fantasy and those bugs who need getting rid of.

Then they have these terms like “Crushbabe” which is effectively a term for an attractive woman who will step on things for the fetishist’s gratification. That’s all fine and dandy but then you hear things like “Only a REAL crushbabe will crush everything in her path for us!” and “REAL crushbabes don’t do x, y, z….”… For sure, the concentration is often on the act rather than the Domina, and the men appear hungry and demanding, almost domineering and manipulative.

Add to this an environment where there are comments such as “I can’t take a woman seriously if she won’t crush ants for me”, and I think it’s easy to see why there are very few females that ever stay at these places. It simply doesn’t appeal to me as a Dominant and it is only the dominance side of the crush meme I was ever really interested in. I’m not interested in looking at bug guts or being cruel to small creatures that can’t escape.

As for the hard crush, I am very hesitant to take the moral high ground. But really, how do the top ‘crushbabes’ manage to sleep at night? That is a genuine concern and not rhetoric.

Some people may think I’m being a hypocrite, because I have posted a lot of positive things about the crush fetish. Perhaps I have just changed - all I can see is a whole bunch of needless suffering, wanking, and people cashing in.

Maybe it’s too much like reality to be interesting anymore.

Comments

(found your site via Richard’s blog). I’m comfortable with my shoe and crushing fetish. But I’m 100% with you on that one. Two things: 1) the whole ‘Only a REAL crushbabe…’ is nonsense. Do people actually say those things? Do they realize how ridiculous it sounds? Just like the ones who say ‘Only a REAL domina/lesbian/gay/ballonlover/furry/insertyourfetishhere would do this and that’. This pseudo intellectualism, where one defines him/herself by how ‘pure’ they are in their kink is as puerile as it is repulsive. Live and let live, people, at the end of the day we are all freaks to someone else! (especially us crush fetish) 2) While I love the idea of a women towering over small insects and teasing them with her footwear before stepping on them, I also realize it’s a fantasy which is linked to the idea of being at the mercy at an all-powerful being. Stomping on insects also happens to be something that men and women all around the world do everyday. How convenient for me! :-D BUT it doesn’t mean I love bathing in bug’s guts or spend my days reading ogrish.com. If someone actually gets off on watching sentient mammals being crushed and tortured, I would recommend to at least take a step (or two) back and reconsider your erm, ‘orientation’.

Hey shoelicker, I’m glad someone like you has stopped by. I do love your ilk so much and I’m glad you weren’t offended by my latest post. I agree with your sentiments a lot, in fact the title for the draft of this post was something like “Crush Fetishism is NOT Animal Snuff!” - Behold my amazing toning-down powers!

But really, I pity, genuinely pity, anyone who needs to witness an animal in agony to achieve ejaculation. Especially those that are becoming impotent in other areas. I was totally absorbed by crush fetishism at one stage of my life, and I did some crazy things to explore my fetish, but never could I bring myself to circulate in the dens of the ‘hardcore crush’ officiandos because it was, to me, totally unsexy and what’s more I’d rather keep my lunch in my stomach.

And do you know what’s even funnier? I caught one of the leaders of the site talking about a transvestite/TS he has to work with, and how she’s a FREAK because she contaminated his (presumably a whole lot less) ‘freaky’ fetish by being a man in heels and hose. Typical male chauvonist attitude that is, presuming everything on this earth is supposed to be eye candy for their cocks.

I think that you guys are taking it a bit too far but that is just me and my own self minded opinion. Don’t mind me at all. I have a beautiful woman in my life and we love each other more than we ever thought possible. I loved her and the though of my crush fetish never came in mind. When I told her I had that fetish she was more interested than disgusted. Once she truly understood how seeing her stepping on bugs was attractive to me she started getting into it as well.

I never forced her, or asked her to step on cats or dogs or any mammal for that matter. The largest thing she stepped on was a fat water bug. In no way was our actions disgusting or sick or sad. That is what me and my woman and many other people enjoy. Some may enjoy being crapped and pissed on or making love with bunny ears on, that’s just your preference. Not understanding it is none of your business.

And no I cannot condemn those that want to step on mice or fish or other creatures. If you live in a house that is infested with mice you get sick of them and step on them or trap them in death traps, YOU KILL them, that’s why they are pests. I met a girl like that and she was more serious about squashing the heads of mice more than I was and I was the crush fetishist.

I hope that this doesn’t sound like ranting.

It is not about an animal in agony that gets us off. Its the power the woman displays and crushing fruit and nuts doesn’t do it for us. The psychological reasons are too deep to explain and you may not understand. As for crushing food, that just shows how people waste food. I am pretty sure there is a hungry person somewhere in your region that could be eating those nuts and fruit, not your bugs though.

P.S. I totally agree with the “you have to be all the way to be a crush freak” thing. Once a crush freak, always a crush freak, you cannot hide it, it will come back to you one day.

Mice are outside of my comfort zone. I personally am squeamish about red blood and bones - it’s too similar to a human, and I just can’t deal with it. You could call it a weakness.

I don’t deny that some people are used to killing frogs or other larger creatures and that it would be nothing to them, because the cultural mindset in that area has adapted so it can get rid of whatever pestilence it is. So I think you are right that it’s easy to redefine what is ‘acceptable’ and the boundaries are fuzzy.

You’re also right in that you can’t lose the essence of the fantasy once you have it. It’s too good if you ‘get’ it, and it can create a euphoria like drugs. My highest and longest lasting notion is one of a deep spiritual connection between my feet and the ground. Fantasies of objectifying men into two-dimensional floor space are by far the most potent to me and are one of my most cherished fantasies, and the beauty is that with some work you can perform it in reality!

I didn’t intend to sound like I was condemning anyone, just drawing a personal line and describing the next phase of my fetish.

Thanks for your comment!

One more thing - A lot of the crush scene does seem to be about the actual torture of the animal or bug as much as the simple elimination, opinions are very scattered and there’s a bit of a division between them as to who are the ‘real’ guys.

That’s the impression I get anyway.

Each to their own, I say. I have not seen much or heard much on this site that I would not consider trying and hardcore crushing is something that I find erotic and would like to see more of. I appreciate your comment for feeling sorry for someone who needs something like this to ejaculate but many people like myself, whilst being able to pleasure myself and partner in other ways, would love to see my wife crush the life out of something significant like a mouse or other pest. I agree with loverboy when he says the thrill comes from the power of the women over the creature and the hope that she could be just as nonchalent about doing the same to me. There are many other variants that I find hard to swallow, but, as I said before, each to their own. If it stays behind closed doors and is not thrust on to unwilling people then anything goes in my opinion. I know the crushees are not exactly willing but these things need putting into perspective. There are far worse things going on in the world involving humans dieng and the vast majority of people couldn’t care less. Don’t mean to rant, sorry, but so many have jumped on the band wagon and personally I wish I could find some more sites for hardcore crushing. I find it fascinating and thrilling. Any Ideas anyone?

I’ve said everything I wanted to say. I see nobody has addressed my point about torture v. crushing. I’ve had friends over the years who were into hard crush and we have been able to see past each other’s differences of opinion.

Hard crush is mostly made for cash, the women compete to make it interesting which is bad news for those sentinent creatures being destroyed underfoot. That money aspect of it absolutely revolts me. It reminds me of all that is wrong with the world. I’m sure not all of it is like that but I don’t care to wade through it. Not enough interest.

But this is where I post my thoughts and opinions. I don’t expect everybody to be the same as me, and I’m not really interested in pointing moral fingers (to reiterate). I stand by what I said, if this is the core of your life, it’s sad. There was a time long(ish) ago when I was in that position and I would never want to go back there. Those people just need a little love in their life, as did I.

I don’t believe the rhetorical bandwagon people are jumping on that says if you’ve ever stepped on a bug you should go ‘round crushing cats and dogs and giraffes and elephants. You have to draw the line somewhere and have a double standard. One rule for small annoying bugs that want to eat my clothes or get stuck in my food, another rule for larger, more sensetive mammals that are just too similar to humans for my own liking. :)

To me the dominance and the sadism of the woman is the real turn on, not the suffering (?) of the insect. It’s also very connected to the fact that the woman throws conventional morality to the wind and enjoys pleasure from taking a life so easily - her power.

And of course fetish boots and roaches go together :)

I have to admit I like it when my wife crushes insects with her high heeled boots and shoes but I think that crushing animals is totally wrong and I dont agree with it at all.

Hi Alexandra. I just tripped over this blog as I googled around. I think I know what you mean.

To me the crush fetish is all about dominating. That the women destroys something that is worthless to her, but priceless to somebody else. When a girl destroys something sombody elses likes.

Since I am macrophile the crushing of bugs has a other sideffect on me. It is just the sizedifference between the women and her prey. Even if she won’t do it intentional, She can kill without even noticing it or do it within a second. I think it is ok to kill an insect. But torture is never a deal

While I yearn to be domme’d (and abused) by the Femme - cruelty to small creatures is not attractive and scares me. I know I’m a sissy but CBT me - I’m yours, you crush a mouse and I wet myself.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, guys. I saw the fairly recent case of the Japanese or Chinese woman who crushed a kitten. It almost made me cry. I am sick of the people on the ‘crush scene’ telling me what I have to accept because I have what is now basically a very mild fetish that mostly involves smashing food and objects with my feet (but mostly resides now in my imagination).

Since I am trying to lead a more spiritual life I would even think twice about crushing a bug, though in the States they can get so overwhelming that you just have to take control as it were.

And I’m not going to lose sleep over that :)

Hi Alexandra,

As a producer, I’m always interested in the female’s viewpoint. I totally agree with the “crushbabe” talk that I see every now and then. And I can’t tell you how many requests for hard crush I turn down every month. Those people are just crazy, in my opinion.

Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed reading it.

Hi Aexandra, I too have a crush-fetish. I only like to snails and bugs. It does nothing for me to see the suffering of cats and dogs,in fact,I find it very distressing. I dont like to see the torture of snails or bugs either. Its just about seeing a woman walking over them without realising, like they were not there. A good discussion.

Hi slither, thanks for speaking up. I think there are a lot of guys like you (not millions, but enough) and I happen to think it’s kinda cute in a way :)

Hi Alexandra, yes we are a diverse bunch. To be honest its a relief that I dont get off on it.In fact, its about being small in the giantess fetish so bugs and snails fit into this niche for me. Its good to be open and be able to talk like this. Thanx

Just came across this great topic. For me, I have to say I’m indifferent on what gets crushed. It’s more about the power the woman has on the ability to end a creatures life. No matter if it’s a bug or a small rodent. Now one thing I prefer is that the creature be able to completely fit under the woman’s foot. So stepping on a guinea pig or kitten is out of the question for me. I prefer bugs (because they crunch) and a very small frog or pinkie would be okay. I know this may offend some people but I’m sorry it’s what I like. And to me, a crushbabe is any woman who crushes for pleasure. Not what she steps on. Great topic. Hope I could help move the discussion on.

Odd how some men get all caught up in the object that is crushed: I remember a site devoted to women stomping on mobile phones.

hello, for some strange reason i found this and would also like to say i am also a crush fetish fan. i agree with most everything said and will be looking forward to future posts. great topic thanks.

Hi there people! Just come across this in a random late night search for interesting crush fetish material. I have been into crush for years, since I was about 7(!) as far as I remember. Definitely agree its about the domination factor, although the idea of unwitting crush and sadistic crush appeal equally to me. I restrict my fetish to insects, although I can’t deny seeing something more “juicy” such as mice/frogs etc squished, does turn me on. I really do love animals however and the one time I let myself go and watched a seriously gruesome crush vid, the moment my (considerable) ecstasy had subsided, I felt a rush of guilt more powerful than I could have anticipated. Won’t go there again! It upsets me that people get off on crushing cats and dogs etc but I guess that is based on my culture and upbringing as much as anything else. I felt rather saddened at first to read that you (Alexandra) appeared to have buried your crush fetish or that you felt it had lost its “edge” but your blog really made me think about the ways in which my fetish has evolved and my needs have changed over the years. I am in a long-term relationship with a girl who really cannot understand or take part in my crush/macrophilia fantasies and I would never trade her love for the thrill of crush, but I do often find myself wishing I could find a girl into crush, just to discuss it all and explore a more spiritual or at least civilized avenue involving the fetish. And there it is - that is how my fetish has developed. I will never lose the joy of pure, physical crush, but I’m more interested in the socio-anthropological side of it now - not in an academic sense, but rather in an emotional fashion. I think it would be wonderful to share my fetish in a more intimate way than simply observing the act of crushing, but I don’t know where I’ll ever find a girl into crush back here in London!

Thanks for taking the time to post, guys. It’s always interesting to read what other people think about this (unless they’re completely bigoted or something).

For me, I have had this fetish for years and it’s just got to the point where, although it will always be with me in a way, I felt it was time to change my relationship with it. Or it changed it’s relationship with me.

I’d still admit to having a crush fetish and probably always will do. But now it’s my own definition and it matches my spiritual and emotional state.

And in case it wasn’t clear before - I would never hold this fetish against anyone who was a kind soul :)

Alexandra, I totally agree with you. And I think that there must be a line drawn between what’s acceptable and what’s not. Bugs are not mammals, they’re not pets. That’s the line and most people recognize that line. However, crush fetishists often get a bad name from being associated with hard crush or porn, etc. It must be decided that we will not accept that.
I just want to see a good-looking girl step on a bug. Nothing more. Thank you, mcb

How do you feel?
