What fetishes don't work well in real life?

When I see the nurse beforehand, when they ask you the list of questions, they always ask if I feel safe at home. That threw me the first time because I wasn’t sure what they meant, like if I was worried about falling down and breaking my hip, but I was in my forties at the time. When I asked her about it, she explained it was a chance for people to report domestic abuse. I don’t know if it’s effective but at least they are trying.

Earlier this year we had quite the thread on the perceived appropriateness / inappropriateness of medics asking those “are you safe?” questions:

Are Doctors still asking odd (to me) questions?

I haven’t been to a doctor in a long time and my gf has been getting on my case about it. The thing is, the last time I was at a doctor’s office I was offended/weirded out by the out-of-left-field questions they asked. The first was “do you have guns in your house” or something similar. I answered, “that’s none of your business”. Then it was “do you feel safe in your home?”. I lost it. I was there wanting to find out if my foot pain was caused by gout, which was what my googling had come up …

With a large side order of gun debate. An interesting thread and not too testy.
