ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Stocking fetishism

Okay kiddo, so some people like to feel happy and excited when they wear or see stockings. It's similar to how you might feel happy wearing your favorite shirt. But for some adults, they really like stockings and they might want to touch or look at them a lot. This is called a fetish. It's just something that makes them feel really good. Everyone has things that make them feel good, and this is just one of those things for some people. It's important to remember that everyone is different and that's okay. As long as they're not hurting anyone or making anyone feel uncomfortable, it's all good.
