It happens all the time. Someone is into something which you are not.
(Before we begin it is very, very important to understand that I just pulled this whole next paragraph out of my ass. No offense intended, just a attention grabbing example so keep reading.)
Let's say you are into poo. Which no one is. Sorry shitters, but gross, ick, pew!
They say to you "gross, ick, pew, how could you possibly be into that?"
Ok, moving on.
I just made a joke there about a scat fetish but it was sincerely just a lighthearted reference to a recognizable scenario, and totally, absolutely not a judgement. It was used only for effect and to make a point. To all those among us who do poo, I meant no disrespect.
I too have been asked that very same question many times about some of my kinks. I suspect we all have.
Here's my point. I don't understand a lot of fetishes. Even super common things like being a sub. I get it in theory but from a personal perspective it makes zero sense to me - yet every single day I'm grateful that it is a thing. I wouldn't have it any other way.
My opinion has always been that my fetish is no better or worse than anyone else's, and vice versa. I don't need to understand yours, or you mine, to be totally cool about it and god bless all of us, each and every one.
Fetish shaming, or whatever term you use, is a thing, it's fucked up, and needs to be stopped. To anyone who is guilty of doing it - Not Cool!
So here is what I'm asking everybody: is it just me or is "how could you possibly be into that?" kind of an insulting question?
