A mirror fetish is a specific type of sexual attraction or arousal focused on mirrors or reflective surfaces. Individuals with this fetish may find pleasure in seeing their own reflections or the reflections of others during sexual or intimate activities.

The mirror fetish can manifest in various ways, such as the desire to engage in sexual acts in front of a mirror, the enjoyment of watching one’s own body or that of a partner from different angles, or the fascination with the interplay of light and reflections. For some, the act of seeing oneself or a partner through a mirror can heighten feelings of self-awareness, body image, and sexual excitement.

In practice, this fetish may lead individuals to incorporate mirrors into their sexual experiences intentionally. For example, a couple might position a mirror to enhance their view of each other during intimate moments, or an individual might engage in self-exploration while observing themselves in a mirror. The mirror fetish can also intersect with other interests, such as exhibitionism or voyeurism, depending on the context and dynamics involved.
