>>11038445One time I LARPed as a weird fetishist when I didn't have that fetish at all. I probably just wanted attention. I'm that guy who gets a laugh from making others uncomfortable but you can tell it's a joke IRL.
This makes me think there are other people who end up as fetishists because of things other than the fetish, like breaking taboos, being part of a community or sharing a secret with other weirdos. The human mind is pliable, if you do a thing enough times and tell yourself it's good and you like it a lot, you end up liking it for real.
I'm sure if every fetishist tried to pull back from the fetish just once, you'd have 75% less fetishists around.
