Hey friends,

After cruisin' the 'Net for years, I've noted that there are
more fetishes than I ever imagined. I'm no expert or a "newbie"
either, but this is something that we can all relate to in our
own realm. There are fetishes we just don't understand or why
anyone would ever enjoy. Then there are fetishes we think,
"why doesn't everyone enjoy our fetish," and in our own mind it
isn’t really a fetish, but a natural sexual desire.

There are many taboos that still seem to plague us whether its
being "politically correct" or thinking that others might feel we
are perverted or something along those lines. Of course, no
one should hurt anyone or group of people because of their
sexual desire. But certain taboos have only to do with what
others feel is what is not desireable.

The bottom line is, we don't express our desire of certain
fetishes because of our own fear of what others might think.

The Internet allows us to express feelings and desires while
being anonymous. Let's take advantage of this forum to express
ourselves and without reprisal from others. As long as no
unsuspecting person is hurt by a fetish, then it should probably
at least be discussed in an open forum.

The older I get, the more interest I have in what others have
experienced sexually. As a consequence, my own sexual
experience increases and becomes more enjoyable. Stagnation
in a sexual relationship is probably a big reason for the
dissolution of many marriages and relationships. Let’s
crush these fetish "taboos" and the people who perpetuate
them. We could all grow from the experience and knowledge.
