Since we're fetish n00bs, we turned to Fleshbot editor Lux Alptraum for some insight. While she's no seat belt fetish expert, she does spend all day trolling the Internet for pr0n, so she's probably a better source of knowledge than say, Matt Hardigree, who only uses the internet for cars and Lutheran podcasts.

"It's bondage without having to take on the trappings of bondage," says Lux. "It's like why boys wank to Sears catalogs, because that's what's available. It could be related to a feeling of safety as a child or just be an attraction to restraints.

"Combining the idea of a car as a sexual power symbol with the seat belt as a restraint is a plausible explanation for the attraction."

And that makes a lot of sense. At once empowering women with control of a powerful car, then controlling them with the restraint of a seat belt creates a powerful fantasy. Now if we could just get a shot of Sarah Palin winkin' at us in a seat belt while firing a machine gun we'd be all set. It's still trashy as all hell. But somehow we don't think that'll stop you from walking through the entire gallery.
