Fetishes

[CocoaHeyday]

(I thought I'd place this here)

Do you have any fetishes? What do you think is the cause of a fetish?

I find that I'm attracted to gore and blood. I know that it's gross and have tried to stop it (doesn't seem to work and so I finally gave up). Just seeing the red mess that was once a living human turns me on and fascinates me.

....seriously?

....seriously?

I find nothing wrong with this thread, it may be a little more open than i'm trying to be, but nothings wrong with it.

I seem to like taking away choice and creating my own choices for someone. Bondage without the pain. etc.

I like nerdy-looking glasses when women wear them. Heck, even when men wear them I think it looks really cool. I also like feet, but who doesn't, amirite?

I've heard of different theories on fetishes. I think it's more nurture than nature, but there may be innate predispositions to certain fetishes. I know that abuse, particularly during early childhood can cause them. But so can relatively benign experiences during that time or later. People are sexual by nature and are capable of associating almost anything with sexual desire, given the right conditions. Memes of attractiveness throughout a culture often function as fetishes, it seems. An entire culture or subculture may sexualize a particular characteristic of the body, dress, or personality. This meme then spreads and conditions generations of people to associate otherwise nonsexual* stimuli with sex/lust/romance/etc.. People don't have to subscribe but they will tend to.

Also, people, as far as troll-drama goes, a supposed enemy wins when you allow them to permeate your perceptions to you point where you lose enjoyment in favor of paranoid suspicion (though I'll admit that such can be enjoyable for an INTP, so carry on if you like)

* I suppose this means anything not related to genitals or secondary sexual characteristics. Still, one could argue that nothing is inherently "nonsexual" since, from an evolutionary psychology standpoint, almost any characteristic could signal some aspect of evolutionary fitness, especially when you factor in the roles characteristics play in a given culture. For example, a "clean cut" man is often attractive because it suggests he's more business-oriented an thus more financially successful. But in other cultures it may suggest totally different things.

No, of course not, people introduce themselves like this all the time

Honestly face, are you narcissistic or just stupid?

Lol, i dont really look at other people post count.

Anyway, i understand what you mean by fetishes being nurture more than nature as i find being able to control someone's decisions fascinating, this could be because i have always felt like i have no control over my life?

Biting -- hard biting, like, bite till I bleed sort of thing.
Mohawks.
To some extent, I enjoy pain, but I love inflicting it even more -- not emotional, physical -- and consensual, obviously.
Some songs can create an almost sexual, orgasmic reaction for me. Is that a fetish?

Echoplex stole my comments, pretty much. The human body will do anything to derive pleasure out of it.

I like to be mentally controlled.

You mean told what to do, or with mind rays? If the first, I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't mind bossing you around. If the latter... sorry, not invented, yet.

Monsieur Yeti, please elaborate.

Well, I have my share of fetishes, which caused me to explore my desires. In so exploring, I discovered that there are different sorts of fetishes which are compatible with one another. With what you said in mind specifically, there are submissive types, who go great with dominant types. That is, there are people who get sexually excited at the prospect of being told what to do within a sexual context, and there are the others who do the telling, and whom get a sexual thrill from the act. I have a habit of assuming people who actually have such fetishes are already aware of them and the sub-culture they produced. However, if you fit and have yet been unaware, I certainly wouldn't mind sharing my experience and knowledge of the topic. It might be better in PM, as it's a personal topic, but It'd be more for your comfort than mine. I'm fine sharing anything with anyone (information-wise, I mean), but many people aren't, and that's fine.

Side-note: I find that the OP has a pretty messed up fetish. I am very very very grossed out by the combination of sex & death/gore/violence. Seriously, even though you've explained it... Sex to me (although I'm still a virgin :')) seems like something that should be fun, not something you'd associate with things like death... Essentially sex is trying to make new life(not really anymore, but that's what it's based on, passing on your genes to a new living organism).

 

[SpaceYeti]

Death and gore, yes, disturbing. Violence... it depends on the manner of it.

 

[Jesse]

Does hot chicks count? Seriously I don't find anything wrong with different ideas however I wouldn't go shouting to the world about some fetishes.

 

[SpaceYeti]

That's not a fetish, as it's pretty much the standard.

 

[Jesse]

Well duh, anyway I wouldn't mind being dominated or the other way round . I suppose people get bored, or their born that way or you can link it to childhood. Either way fetishes are I think quite normal except the really weird ones involving corpses or roller-coasters.

DID I HEAR ROLLERCOASTERS?!

Now I know what my next fantasy will be about.

 

[Bird]

And why aren't these normal?

 

[Jesse]

Rollercoasters, do you have to ask? And dead people well, they should left alone. I don't know why some fetishes are considered normal and some not. Maybe because there is some cultural zeitgeist that says what is normal and what isn't. But I go by the rule that anything that can be consented to is alright, (besides murder and permanent harm). And rollercoasers are a public thing. If your gonna have a fetish for a public thing buy it outright so nobody else has to deal with it.

-- also I would just like to point out that my
desire for being emotionally controlled rules
out necrophilia. Dead people can't control me.


Damn ):

By the way, I thought you said you like to be "mentally controlled"?
