Does anyone else have, like, a detached anthropological interest in blogs full of very niche erotica that has no appeal for you?
Seeing what the most vital components are, seeing how it’s cross-pollinated with other fetishes, Discourse about it- it’s all such a blast.
I thought I was the only one!
I love reading about niche fetishes and kinks and sexual orientations. I’m fascinated by looners, sneeze fetishists, bug-chaser fantasies, even things that I personally find unpleasant like emetophilia, because I love seeing how the minds of other people work.
And especially the Discourse. I love the Discourse.
Oddly enough, even as a religious person myself, I enjoy examining cults and niche religions in a very similar way.
I don’t think “detached” is quite the right word in my case, but yeah. It’s fascinating, and getting a glimpse of that vast diversity often makes me feel better about things.
(What are looners? “Sneeze fetish” and “emetophilia” are both self-explanatory (and I’ve heard of them before anyway), “bugchasing” refers to STD fetishists if I recall correctly, but I don’t think I’ve encountered the term “looner” before.)
