@TheViewFromHell That one's baffling. Side effect of selection for general submissive behavior maybe?
@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. -
@Meaningness@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell *waves hands vigorously* -
@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell Plausible; but maybe google will turn up a fetish forum which can give a definite answer. -
@Meaningness@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell Fetishist self-description tends to be saturated with typical mind fallacy/prescriptivism IME. - 2 more replies
