Stocking fetishism is a sexual fetish relating to womens nylon stockings or 'nylons' as they were originally called. Stocking fetishists may particularly find sexual partners clothed in sheer (see illustration) nylon or silk stockings to be sexually stimulating whilst also witnessing such a partner (or any attractive female) slipping into or removing a pair of her stockings often results in a similar effect. This can also be related to transvestism and pantyhose fetishism.

Aditionally such fetishists may also be divided into many sub-categories relative to their attraction to certain types of stockings. Some find fishnet stockings more arousing compared to other forms of stockings, for example. Other preferences include fully-fashioned (seamed)stockings, seamless stockings, designer stockings etc. Fetishists may also derive sexual pleasure in foot fetishism and related sexual acts - sniffing or licking partners' legs and feet in stockings, and having their genitals stimulated by stockinged feet.
