When most people talk about Clowns, they either find them creepy or funny. However, some individuals may say they find them attractive. But why is this? What if you think you are one of these people? How do you indulge in your Clown fetish? We’ve got the answers for you!

A Clown fetish focuses on Clown aesthetics and behaviour. This will typically involve wearing painted faces, red noses, and gaudy, bright clothing. Whilst also acting silly and whimsical. A focus on clown tropes such as pies to the face, telling jokes, and pranking people is also appealing. Part of the reason why people may develop a Clown fetish is that they oppose social norms. A person might have a fixation on embracing their inner Clown as a form of escapism.

 

 

So, get your red nose ready as we’re going to go on a very silly journey of discovery together. Welcome to the world of Clown fetishes! Honk honk!

Why Are Clown Fetishes A Thing?

Clowns aren't usually considered sex symbols by any means. They're typically quite the opposite. Most stereotypical Clowns are seen as being child entertainers. So why do some of us find them sexy?

 

 

The nature of fetishes is erratic. There is usually little logical reason why some fixations develop into fetishes. Whilst others remain as casual interests. But, like all fetishes, a Clown fetish may originate from a memorable experience at a young age.

It could be simply that you were taken to see circuses a lot as a child. Finding the Clowns to be your favourite part. Or there was a Clown character in one of your favourite childhood TV shows.

Sometimes a Clown fetish can stem from other fetishes. For example, a belly fetish may cause you to find fat Clowns attractive. Have a transformation or disguise fetish? The drastic change of appearance from wearing full Clown attire might invoke similar connotations.

 

 

You might find that it's a Clown's behaviour that’s appealing. Most Clowns are goofy and silly. Embracing embarrassing behaviour for the sake of entertainment. As if they come from a world detached from social conventions. A desire for escapism and unashamed confidence may lead to Clowns being found arousing.

It may also be a desire to be submissive and toy with power dynamics. Often, Clowns may engage in slapstick or humiliating humour. Either with each other, or with non-Clowns. Clowns will typically be the ones in more submissive positions. But dominant Clowns also exist.  

The Importance Of Clown Aesthetics

There are several different types of clowns. Circus Clowns are the stereotypical example,  but even they have sub-genres. Mimes, Jesters, and Rodeo Clowns are some other Clown types. Whilst it’s not mandatory to do so, you might want to consider what sort of Clown you want to draw inspiration from.

 

 

This will help you immediately set the tone for how you want to be treated and how you plan your session. For example, a Horror Clown will likely be treated and perceived differently from a Hobo Clown.

Simply trying to evoke the stereotypical Clown aesthetic? A combination of colourful, baggy overalls, a red nose, white face paint, clown shoes, and colourful clown wigs works wonders. Feel free to try adding padding to your belly and rump for that extra level of goofiness.  

You can always combine Clown aesthetics with other aesthetics. Got some leather gear? Why not try being a Leather Daddy Clown? Are you athletic? Why not become a Jock Clown? Feel free to experiment and find what appeals to you!

How To Clown Around (And Find Out)

So, what should you do if you want to try indulging in a Clown fetish? How should you be acting and speaking? How do you convince someone to join you, even if they’re not into Clowns?

 

 

Starting with Clown behaviour. This will once again depend on how much you care about your Clown genre. For example, Circus Clowns will be much more vocal and slapstick than the more stoic Mime. 

Dressing accordingly can help you get into the role of a certain Clown. Try researching Clown genres to see which ones align with your personality. Or which you simply find the most appealing to embody.

This is by no means mandatory. If you like the look of a certain type of Clown, you still dress like them. Even if you’re not acting as that type of Clown would. If you want to be a talkative Mime, no one is going to stop you!

 

 

Feel free to get as goofy as you like. Putting on a voice or saying silly or funny things is encouraged. Anything that invokes that feeling of a stereotypical Clown. Feel free to make a fool out of yourself in whatever way you can!

Making balloon animals, using whoopee cushions, and wearing a honkable nose. Anything goes as long as you’re not crossing any boundaries! If you want, you don’t even need to act like a Clown at all. Some people love the contrast of a serious personality but a silly appearance!

But what if you want to try indulging in your Clown fetish, yet your partner isn’t into them? You can always try to include something that appeals to their interests or fetishes. The use of merged Clown aesthetics works best in situations like this. 

 

 

Consider it a way to test the waters. This is as important for them as it is for you. Even if you feel like you’d be interested in giving the full Clown experience a go. There’s no guarantee that you’ll actually enjoy wearing full Clown attire.

But if your partner is adamant they don’t want to do anything involving Clowns, you must respect that. As we mentioned earlier, some people find Clowns scary. Having actual phobias as opposed to just not seeing the appeal. Don’t assume you can convince them to like them!

Besides, sometimes just dressing up as a Clown and admiring your reflection can be arousing enough by itself. Go on, jiggle that silly clown gut!

Embracing Eroticism As A Clown

Some of you might be confused about how to balance the act of being a good Clown. Whilst still managing to keep things erotic. But it’s actually a lot simpler than you think!

 

 

Like many other fetishes, you can include other kinks or fetishes in your sessions. Just because Circus Clowns don’t typically engage in sexual acts doesn’t mean you don’t have to!

You should just try to engage in these fetishes whilst maintaining your Clown persona. For example, would you like to engage in some pup play role-playing? Why not be a Clown who is also a ringmaster? Treating their pup like a trained Circus animal.

Power dynamics and humiliation are easy to explore in combination with a Clown fetish. Depending on how you want your session to go, a Clown can easily be a sub or a dom.

 

 

Either being humiliated by being forced to dress and act like a clown. Or humiliating someone else by being dominant and pranking a normal person. The dominant Clown can also force the sub to dress and act like a Clown too, if you want even more Clown action.   

Want to focus more on just the appeal of Clowns alone? Simply do something sexy. A strip tease. Belly rubs. Masturbating whilst in costume. Even if you don’t feel sexy, your partner will likely be all over you! 

For some, Clowns engaging in sexual acts can cause them to have far more appeal suddenly. Even more than a conventionally attractive man doing the same. You don’t necessarily need to be in character, either.

 

 

The sight of something considered lacking any sex appeal engaging in sexual acts sounds like it shouldn’t be arousing. But that’s exactly why it then becomes arousing. Toying with sexuality and the juxtaposition between something unsexy in a sexual context. 

That contrast ultimately becomes appealing. It’s seen as something wild and different from the norm. This isn’t the case for everyone. But it’s at least part of the reason why some people indulge in Clown fetishes. 

It’s always worth doing, even if you’re not confident with acting “sexy”. If anything, struggling to be sexy whilst dressed as a Clown will make it even more arousing! When in doubt, blowing up condoms and making them into balloon animals is worth a shot! 

Conclusion

We hope that this has been an eye-opening guide to the world of Clown fetishes for you! It can seem a little daunting at first. But like many other fetishes, there’s no singular way to do it. You can customise your Clown fetish experience in whatever way you like!

 

 

Feel free to fully embrace the role, whether by dressing like one or combining clown aesthetics with other fetishes. Nothing is stopping you from acting like a clown, but not dressing as one.
