The city worker, from Camberwell, London, admits he receives a wedgie every other week and likes the humiliation, pain and domination
The man, who wants his identity to be shrouded in secrecy, believes his unusual fetish started when bullies carried out the act on him at school.
The Camberwell resident – who wants to be referred to as Bobby – particularly likes being given a wedgie by women in crowded places.
He told My London it is “the perfect combination of humiliation, domination and pain”.
The 26-year-old explained: “It is difficult to say when the thought of the wedgie shifted from nightmare (being given them by bullies) to something that I now like.
“It is fair to say that I endured a fair amount of wedgies growing up. My school was pretty brutal.
“I remember one occasion in particular, at the end of term aged about 15, that I was hoisted up onto a tree branch by my underwear and left there. I remember a group of girls just stood there laughing at me and then went on the way to class.
“To add insult to injury, I had to be helped down by the teachers (wish I hadn’t had such strong underwear!) I can’t say that occasion was when the fetish started but I certainly vividly remember that group of girls.
“At university I knew quite a big group of very confident girls who would jokingly give me wedgies every now and again. By this stage, it had definitely become something that I didn’t mind.”
Called ‘wedgieing’, Bobby said he has since grown to enjoy the experience, and prefers women to do is as it’s “more humiliating”.
He said: “Take being hung by your underwear, you’re helpless to stop it, and just the idea of underwear which is such a private thing, having it pulled out and on display is embarrassing.
“Plus there’s the dominance that the person has over you when they are wedgieing you.
“There’s nothing you can do, you just have to deal with the pain – someone having that much power over you is exhilarating.”
Bobby said he receives a wedgie around every other week, although it varies.
He spends hundreds a month on his fetish but says he can afford it as he works in the city.
“How much I pay slightly depends on how good the wedgie is,” he said.
“The most I have spent is £100 for one where these two women ripped my pants off in Hyde Park on a busy summer afternoon.”
He said he is given wedgies in many public locations across London – even in Oxford Street – but usually it is just a park or open space.
“I don’t have a particular favourite place, but somewhere busy is always good,” Bobby added.
“There are some people who regularly wedgie me in various locations across London. They seem to really enjoy doing it.”
He said it is “tricky” to find people who will give him a wedgie, but he often uses social media.“I think there are a lot of people who have a wedgie fetish to be honest,” said Bobby.
“I don’t really know anyone who does, but there are lots of accounts on social media.
“I know that there are dominiatrixs who specialise in wedgieing people.”
