- Si les fétichismes du pied ou de la chevelure, pour ne retenir que les deux extrêmes de notre géographie physique, semblent présenter des accointances moins directes avec la sexualité que l’attention portée aux orifices, ils attestent que les conséquences érotiques des fixations secondaires sont souvent, dans la littérature, provocatrices d’un imaginaire plus distrayant que celui qu’inspirent les sempiternelles pénétrations.
