What exactly do we mean when we talk about capnolagnia ? It is about the sexual attraction for the smoker or the experience of pleasure when doing this activity. When trying to find the cause, some factors come into play, such as stereotyping women who smoke as individuals full of innocence and sweetness, or directly sensual; or, in the case of men, the fixation towards the image of absolute masculinity.
Another variable that can condition this fetish is that the act of smoking is considered, more and more often, as a kind of taboo or element of transgression, and that is that every day it becomes more rare to see someone smoke placidly . There are those who maintain that, since the implementation of the Anti-Smoking Law in Spain , especially in the cities, what is usually seen on the street are people who use up cigarettes quickly and compulsively. Seeing someone just savor it and 'play with the smoke' can be the perfect trigger for someone with this strange habit. For example, heterosexual men associate the movements women make with smoking with oral sex .
Although most fetishists do not seek medical help because their behavior does not negatively interfere with their daily lives, the phenomenon, in English called 'Smoking Fetish' , is included within the bag of those known as paraphilias, that is, patterns of sexual behavior where the predominant source of pleasure is found in atypical objects, situations, or activities.
