@TheViewFromHell That one's baffling. Side effect of selection for general submissive behavior maybe?
@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. -
@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell Oh. Well, my general approach is to assume that my mind can do anything weird people’s can, if needed. -
@Meaningness But I don't want to eat broccoli because if I ate it I might like it and then I'd eat more of it and I hate broccoli

@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser @TheViewFromHell I would start to investigate that question by watching/reading shoe porn & talking w/ fetishists.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
