Beginning of a fetish

Discovering fetishes as we grow

This is a link to a now closed thread from this forum. If you’ve seen what I’ve been posting, you can probably guess my fetishes. But how’d I get them? My “awakening” happened in the locker room as a young adult at the local YMCA. It’s the first place that I saw adult men naked. This was before guys got shy in the shower and changing. It was also before most guys started shaving their body hair. At first I was just admiring and appreciating, but telling myself it wasn’t an attraction… Then I started noticing the body language and non/verbal cueing in the steam room.

Changed guts to guys for clarity

I would definitely say that mine have evolved or changed over time.  Perhaps it comes with maturity or just being open to exploring new things.

I've developed fetishes for things I've come across, then go down this rabbit hole of porn or posts and then it's stuck in my brain

I find it greatly interesting why we are attracted to certain things  particularly in the kink realm.

 

I can remember reading a book as a young child that home some guys who rode motorbikes and wore leather jackets and being very aroused by the concept.

My kinks are spanking,bondage, leather, underwear / speedos etc -  I can understand the underwear and speedos but the other aspect are intriguing.

 

I had this conversation with a hot master who I rented. He was a psychology lecturer at a leading university and he was unable to offer any answers .

My take away is that we should just enjoy our kinks - play safe and have lots of memorable pleasurable moments

I have always had a scent fetish. Trying to explain its origins, this is what I wrote in the now-defunct thread mentioned above: “Back in high school, I had an unreciprocated crush on my best friend, who had noticeable body odor that I found strangely sexy. His uncut and cheesy dick was the first one I ever sucked. To this day, the scent of raunchy pits, sweaty balls, smelly groins and cheesy dicks turns me on big time.” Adding to this, I can say that the unmistakable smell of backrooms and male sex joints -a mixture of lube, sweat, piss, and lust- got me hard the moment I entered, in anticipation of adventures to follow  

The fetish that has come late in my life is feet. I was never interested in them, but lately I have developed a fascination with licking soles and tops, and sucking toes. To tie this up with my scent fetish, the smellier the feet, the hornier I get. However, I am not at all attracted to sniffing shoes or socks, the aroma has to come directly from bare feet to turn me on. And, full disclosure: I do not like my feet to be played with, I am just too ticklish.

I have no idea why a hairy ass turns me on.

WOW, it might have been an unreciprocated crush yet he let you suck his dick! Lucky you!! If only my HS crush had done the same. 😢

Well, it took a lot of convincing, @Danny-Darko, believe me. And it was a one-time-only event, no matter how hard (pun intended) I tried to get a repeat performance. The adventure left a long-lasting impression in my life, obviously.

When I a was kid, my uncle and his wife visited a lot.  They were very country and decidedly working class.  My aunt had two younger brothers who were both thuggish-looking country boys and they both wore Wellington boots.  Both guys were sort of like the guys you would see running the amusements at the county fair.  They also wore dirty denim jackets.  Those Wellington boots gave me a raging boner.  I looked forward to seeing those guys mostly because of the Wellington boots, but both also had sideburns, waaay long before sideburns were a thing.  They only looked rough though. Both were quiet and polite and never said much.

If you're going to keep writing like this, you'll have to provide free smokes.

I have an exhibition fetish that only pops up once in a while. I had never been draw to the idea of exhibitionism until I was in the Denver Swim Club and a good looking, 5’2” tall, slender, asian man with very limited English skills wanted to blow me in one of the public spaces.  A small crowd of men gathered around to watch and many of them were making eye contact with me while it was happening.  It was a stunning turn-on for me.  I had never imagined that I’d like that and wouldn’t feel shy or embarrassed.

A few years later, I saw a porn clip online of a live sex show at some club in Europe.  I was obsessed for a while with the idea of being watched while having sex with another man.  So, I set up a scene with a guy at the Midtowne Spa to fuck on the stage there.  

I think the exhibitionism thing is part of my brain’s way of processing some shame and internalized homophobia.  Not only am I doing what I was told was wrong as a kid, I’m doing it to be seen!

Still, I dreamed of that when I had my HS crush back in the day. I've NEVER forgotten him either.
