> [@Rack-a-Bones](#): > > I have a thing for female tennis players, which probably isn’t a fetish in of itself, it just seems weird that it is specifically tennis players that rile me up versus any attractive female athlete Hell, every heterosexual male has the hots for female tennis players, or at least [some of them](http://sports.popcrunch.com/the-50-hottest-women-of-tennis/). I guess I have a fetish for ballerinas and cheerleaders. ---

I have a friend who wants to be tied up and molested by a clown with six pack abs. I’ve pointed out that I’m a clown. 😃 She points out that I don’t have six pack abs. ☹ While correcting the grammar and style of another friend’s personal ad, I discovered she was into golden showers. While in theory this does not rank that high on the weirdness scale, in actual reality discovering that one of your friends would be delighted for you to urinate on and in them is quite the trip. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > In my experience, that’s more of a radical political activity than a sexual turn-on, and mostly involving people who are young and stupid. Really? I have no experience with that scene beyond the few articles I’ve read about it…can you explain a little bit about how it’s seen as “political?” ---

WAG: Presumably to highlight the social inequalities and injustices still experienced by gays and lesbians, especially those with AIDS. I’ve only heard of the phenomenon; never read anything in-depth about it. So right now I give the idea as much credibility as rainbow parties. If it is real, however, I agree it’s an incredibly stupid thing to do. ---

> [@Olentzero](#): > > I give the idea as much credibility as rainbow parties. If it is real, however, I agree it’s an incredibly stupid thing to do. There was an interesting article in Rolling Stone about it once: > **[Music News](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/)** Though it was debunked elsewhere: [http://www.thebody.com/content/art32304.html#](http://www.thebody.com/content/art32304.html#) However, even that article concedes that: _Yes, these men exist. It’s a minor phenomenon of the last decade. It’s real. It’s controversial. HIV prevention advocates and public health officials acknowledged “bug chasers” at least four years ago. Credible studies estimate that one to two percent of infected gay men sought out infection…Bug chasers are real and the phenomenon deserves scrutiny._ ---

> [@Silver Tyger Girl](#): > > Macrophilia - that is, giantesses and giants I dig giantesses. (Although I prefer 5 or 6 stories to skyscrapers.) I also have a thing for ‘patchwork’ girls - y’know, like Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas? Although not just cloth…flesh, mechanics, some combination of same… I realized the ‘patchwork’ part was important while reading Franken Fran. I can’t really explain either. Gender-swapping is awesome, too. Yeah, I have weird kinks. ---

I won’t go into details but it involves a wedding dress, a box of matches, a movie with Tony Danza in it, a clock with a second hand and a bottle of vinegar. ---

While in theory this does not rank that high on the weirdness scale, in actual reality discovering that one of your friends would be delighted for you to urinate on and in them is quite the trip. Got no interest in being peed on, peeing on someone else, or watching someone pee. But I will confess to a surprisingly & disconcertingly strong HMM! reaction to seeing women in need of and squirming, or wetting their pants. I am guessing it’s got something to do with leftover “stuff” from an age during which I was fascinated by the notion of girls losing control there (yes THERE) while not as of yet knowing much about anything that OCCURS “there” except, well, yeah, that’s where you pee from. did I actually _post_ about that? ---

Chick](http://www.chick.com) full-size, color comic series in which kids were washing away their sins\* in a river of blood that flowed from the crucifixion wounds! The series was called “The Overcomers” IIRC. The series was soon withdrawn from further publication, if I have the story straight. That scene, even though it depicts a \*mystical \*concept, rather than a “literal” occurrence in the comic story, was apparently too much for some parents. As I said, a full-size, color comic, _ **and it was aimed at children** _! * * * - Of course, the kids were fully clothed. What do you think Chick is… **_sick_? 😛** ---

Yes, I know, fairly normal, but I just love a woman in a handsome uniform: policewomen, female soldiers. Yum! She could be the ugliest woman in the world but if she’s in a uniform I’ll give her a second look. I joke that I joined the military so I could have greater chances of scoring with a girl in uniform. And to add to the boot fetish, at Texas A&M University, the ROTC cadets there wear hand-made leather riding boots as part of their uniform. I found that seeing the female cadets with the boots was quite inspiring. 😉 But yeah, students at Texas A&M who pursued these boot-clad cadets were said to be “Boot Chasers” So, my girlfriend is into biting, clawing, and choking. This seems to work out well enough for us, particularly since she also likes to see me, typically calm, reserved, and polite, going all animalistic on her. On an unrelated note, is a Little Red Riding Hood kink considered odd? ---
