She is walking down the stairs dressed in a skin-tight black dress with a plunging neckline that shows off her generous cleavage.
Her feet are clad in red peep-toe pumps.
He looks up, his heart begins to race, beads of sweat cover his forehead, but it isn't her dress that makes him heated, it's the curve of her toes in her shoes.
Darrion, a 22-year-old male, has a foot fetish.
Normally, if you ask someone if they have a fetish, the most likely answer will be no. Why? Most people think that if you have a fetish, you are a pervert.
But a fetish is simply a real or fantasised presence that is needed for sexual gratification. They can be mild or extreme.
The word fetish comes from the Portuguese word 'feitico' which means false power, object or charm.
There are different types of fetishes but they are dependent on the object being fetishised. Media, form and animate make up the inanimate types of fetishes.
In this type of fetish, material is what is obsessed over, these include rubber, leather, latex and silk.
Items such as stiletto heels and lingerie make up the form fetish, while feet, hair, buttocks, breasts and other human type fetishes fall under animate fetishes.
And Darrionis proud of the fetish he has had since the age of 12.
"They (the feet) are always very attractive but an overlooked part of the female anatomy," Darrion tells Flair.
Describing them as sexy, he says that what attracts him to the feet are the shape, the arches and the softness.
He likes to see women's feet in stilettos with toes polished in either blue or red nail polish.
Well manicured feet are a must for him. "I feel excited (when he sees feet) and I feel like I want to give her a foot massage, and suck on her toes if she lets me."
For John, his fetish is for the small of a woman's back. For as long as he can remember, the spot above a woman's buttocks has excited him.
"That diamond that appears in the small of the back, for some reason, is very exciting to see, even if the diamond is not there, just the curve that is there is just beautiful," John admits.
Just a flash of the intimate spot is a major turn on, and a tattoo, depending on the design, can only serve to enhance the beauty.
Because of John's love for the lower back, doing it doggy style is his favourite position.
Women have them too
And while many may believe that it is only men who have fetishes, the women get just as excited about parts of a man's anatomy.
Twenty-three-year-old Tami has two animate fetishes, a bulky crotch and a firm butt.
Laughing shyly, she tells Flair, "I love to see the buff in a man pants, it says he has a large penis and I get really excited, and all I can think of is performing oral sex."
"Tight buttocks do the same for me. During sex, I just want to squeeze, slap or nibble on it (the buttocks)," Tami adds, noting that just the sight of the two gives her goose pimples.
