@TheViewFromHell That one's baffling. Side effect of selection for general submissive behavior maybe?
@Meaningness @TheViewFromHell Can understand anything being fetish to somebody--Pareidolia &c. *Common* fetishes need more explanation tho.

@St_Rev @TheViewFromHell Analogous bug: imprinting. A girl I went to school with had a giant anteater imprinted on her. Slept under her desk -
@Meaningness @TheViewFromHell What distingushed the anteater from a pet? -
@St_Rev @TheViewFromHell Not sure. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_%28psychology%29#Filial_imprinting … . Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_%28psychology%29#Sexual_imprinting … : apparently my idea was old hat. So to speak. -
@Meaningness @TheViewFromHell Like I said, I can understand anything being a fetish to *someone*, it's the common fetishes that puzzle me. -
@St_Rev@Meaningness @TheViewFromHell So the question is why fetishes aren't randomly distrubted but rather seem kinda bell curvey? -
@KarmaKaiser@Meaningness @TheViewFromHell Yeah. E.g.: why are foot/shoe fetishes so common compared to hand/glove fetishes? -
@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell I.e. understanding it emically might give etic insight. (No guarantee, but it’s a starting point.) -
@Meaningness@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell My hypothesis in that particular case is that it's triggered by scent cues. - 6 more replies

@St_Rev @TheViewFromHell Anteater probably had some pretty kinky fantasies as an adult. Maybe she did too. Geez, now it’s giving me some...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
