So...when I was on YouTube I posted a video of myself smoking a cigarette. It was a statement about smoking and the fact that I enjoy it. To my surprise, I received a good number of views, picked up new subscribers, and started getting enthusiastic messages from a new found fan. I didn't quite understand its popularity until I started talking with the guy who was sending me messages--it turns out that there is a smoking fetish crowd on YouTube, and if you search the term, you will see that there are a lot of videos that cater to that crowd. I enjoy my smokes, but they have never been an object of eroticism for me, yet others seem to get quite a charge from it, and watching others. After learning this, I felt compelled to make another video that defined smoking for myself, and I still picked up new subscribers. Anyway, I'm curious about how people pick up fetishes like that. I know we all have triggers, but some people are set off by unusual stuff, smoking just being one of them. What's the psychology behind fetishes?
Here's one that is pretty unusual... Woolies I would think it would be itchy, but maybe that's the appeal for some.
Yeah, but what causes fetishes? How does someone become a...wooly? I'm assuming that your attraction to women is biological, but how does biology figure into a more obscure fetish?
There are some things, actions or objects that will turn people on. Like shoes, school girl uniforums, to yes, ermmm, wool clothing to body hair to even cigarettes. It triggers a response in a large portion of the population. I am sure if you delve into what turns you on, it would probably be a fetish of some sort and it would not turn another person on. For example, I knew a guy who would apparently get off on high heels. As in he would sneak into cupboards and ermm play with the shoes. Yet if a woman wore them, he didn't find it (the shoes) as appealing. Go figure. Just as I know some women who get off on hairy men. Not every woman's or man's cup of tea, but some do find it erotic. But yeah, everyone has their little thing.
So you think they are objects or non-genital parts of a body. This is deeply disturbing. Would have to be an enormous body.
I'm not judging. I just have a theory that the association is acquired somehow. But I really don't know because I've never seen anything online that clinically explores the subject. The guy I talked to on YouTube seemed to be associating his fetish with an experience he had as a teenager. He offered details, but I declined.
*shrugs* my wife and I share what one could consider a tickling fetish - thing is, it only causes arousal for us when shared between us (tickling others is enjoyable but doesn't cause erotic notions or arousal). It's just something we enjoy... trying to explain it is like trying to explain... well... an emotion I guess.
I don't know if it qualifies as a fetish, but I definitely find the tonal quality of some male voices to either be attractive or repelling. There is a certain pitch to a male voice that I find attractive, moderately deep and soft spoken. Well spoken goes without saying.... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The current theory is that such fetish is inherent in a large percentage of the population........of either gender. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Same. But the same applies to just about every woman I know. And if it is an English, Irish or Scottish accent, then yes, we could enter the fetish stage.. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I like seeing women in heels. I also like women's feet. And...you know, there are lots of nerve endings in toes...if you nibble on a woman's toes, massage and then nibble on her arches for a while...women who do not find this too ticklish...well... Of course I do like my feet washed. And only women's feet. Not men's...since I find people attractive regardless of genitalia that has to be said...I only have a fetish for female feet.
Wouldn't some things like smoking be more of a habit or addiction rather than a "fetish" because of the chemicals and other substances within them that makes them addicting? I can't understand how something that can cause you to become needing it constantly would be refereed to as a fetish. Perhaps that some just want to believe that it is a fetish and not an addiction so that they have an excuse to keep smoking.
