Less common, but of interest, are those who are aroused by having their nose stroked, felt and suckled. The arousal may be caused by the shape or the size of the nose. Some are even aroused by the picking of noses.

Some features of the nose which cause arousal may include

A person having a nose fetish may prefer some or all of the above.

Nose fetishists will commonly either look at celebrities who have "sexy noses" (such as those listed above) or they will modify existing images to make someones nose appear more pronounced (known as "morphing").

[edit] Psychology

Not much is known about the nose-fetish and very little literature exists on it except for the internet, where there are several online communities of nose fetishists. In these communities men and women discuss the erotic nature of noses and even "cyber" erotic noseplay. It is believed that there may be many more people who have this fetish than who admit to it publicly because it isn't considered to be socially acceptable. It has been said "that for any object you name, someone will have a fetish for it." [citation needed]

Most nose fetishists are extremely against rhinoplasty because it removes many of the features which they find so desirable. Sarah Michelle Gellar is especially loved because despite pressure from others she refuses to have her nose "fixed".
