@TheViewFromHell That one's baffling. Side effect of selection for general submissive behavior maybe?

@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. -
@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell Scent of leather definitely does it for some s/m folks, but that’s association only I think. -
