If someone told you they had a fetish, would you tell them yours?

[nolongeractive]

Just asking for fun! :> I think it would make me a lot less worried about telling them but it's hard to say if I actually would say something. Might still feel a bit weird but who knows.

[42686]

it would definitely depend on who they were. i mean, if it was someone who i knew for a long time, even if i wasnt that close to them, i probably would blurt out a few details XD

[EmeraldThread]

I was actually in a situation like this the other day. I was in a group of friends and we were talking about fetishes, and one of my friends was going around asking everyone what their fetish was. No one but the guy asking actually ended up telling anyone their fetish, and I certainly wasn't about to. But for me it depends specifically on the situation and who I'm talking to. If I were absolutely sure that the person wouldn't use the information against me or tell anyone I particularly cared about or knew, then I'd at least consider it. But there are people I know I will never tell whether they're close to me or not.

So...I guess I'm not entirely sure how to answer this. My default is no, just because it takes more than someone telling me something about themselves for me to tell them the same.

Oh yeah, if a stranger did that, it would be totally creepy. I didn't even think about that realm of things. <W> Of course online we're all strangers but it's a bit different here. xD

A drunken party in college led me to this situation. Everyone was sharing their fetishes. Most were common ones. One of the guys, we learned, has a fart and piss fetish. It made sneezing look... more normal? But I only tell S.O.'s so I didn't share. The exception being of course, if a friend admitted to having a sneezing/care-taking/related fetish.

[alias]

My friend and I were having a late night talk about personal things like this which led me to sharing my fetish. I was really the only one who used the word "fetish" liberally, but she actually has somewhat of a care-taking fetish (which she refers to as the wounded-soldier fetish, eg: wounded heroes in movies). So there actually are a lot of kinks we share, even though sneezing isn't specifically one of them.

[NoV]

If people do feel they have a need to share their fetishes with me, then that's fine, but I still don't think I would be willing to share mine. Not sure I would be comfortable with them looking differently at me is response to sneezing, just as I would probably look differently (not negatively, but still differently) on them in the light of their fetish. Does this actually make any sense...?

[Blah!?]

It depends on a few things for me.

One, the person I share it with would definitely have to be a close friend. Originally I planned to only ever tell significant others, but if a close friend admitted it to me, especially if they were looking for support, I'd consider it.

Also, if the person in question told me they had one of the same ones I have, I'd be much more open to confessing mine as well.

And finally, the exchange would have to take place in a private location. Just anywhere where no one's around to listen is fine. If I did decide to tell one person, I still wouldn't want a bunch of other people to find out.

[Pearlised]

The Cracked Egg, you always have the best signature gifs. just sayin,

And yeah, I'd tell them mine if they told me theirs, only fair

[_Daisy_]

I've been in this situation before, and I really don't plan on telling anyone (except maybe a future SO) ever again. I really don't like the judgement...even if it's just a "that's odd/different"...it makes me feel really uncomfortable and I always immediately regret saying anything about it at all. I hate when people who know give me "that look" whenever they or someone else sneezes. I definitely don't think that's cute. I consider it tantamount to coming out of the closet and then feeling the scrutinizing glances of your friends/family as they try to discern whether or not you're being overcome with lust whenever a member of the same sex enters the room. People, please. Plus, does anybody else really need to know? I feel like I will definitely end up telling my future husband/partner/whatever...but until then, I don't think I would be comfortable telling anyone else.

Haha...sorry. I have a very...passionate opinion...on the matter.

[Pilgrim]

I would, but only if theirs was of equal strangeness. Like if it was something generally socially acceptable, like spanking, I would not. It would have to be something with a comparable embarrassment factor.

Definitely agree with this. Also, only if they were pretty nonjudgmental because my feelings are hurt pretty easily if it seems like a negative reaction.

[Me4ever]

It would definitely depends on who or what theirs is. Although my boyfriend has told me his so I returned te favor and he knows about mine. And we still accept each other like we are but anyone else I don't think I could tell them. But once again it depends on the situation.

[Zebra]

OOhh I've been here. Twice actually. Once was on omegle when someone told me their fetish and my friends practically forced me to tell mine because they told "theirs" (I'm pretty sure they don't have actual fetishes just preferences). So sadly I caved and told which I regret now. Secondly was with one of my very close friends because I dragged his out of him. I could tell he was keen to tell anyway otherwise he would have told me to F off. I actually guessed it but I couldn't bring myself to tell him mine, especially because he was one of my main fetish fantasy people when I was younger and he has seriously bad hay fever which grosses me out now. Shows how much my preferences have changed.

[Ludus]

Ah i've done this once with a friend. He said his (which turned out to be one of the most common fetishes known to man) I panicked and couldn't bring myself to do anything except mutter "sickness" at the ground.. >.< He was still pretty confused and asked if i meant "like, coughing?" and i just awkwardly answered 'sort of' and now we know a little bit more about eachother

[Juliemlr]

Probably not. But it would, of course, depend on who it was, and also, I think, what their fetish was. If it was something well-known like latex and leather I would definitely not tell, but if it was something really odd then MAYBE I'd consider it...most likely not though.

[Zer0]

nooo waaay! i'm just discovering mine and i feel embarrassed thinking about it >:

I've had people tell me their fetish's and their partners fetish and I'm just like 'okay, um so soup is good'

[marv77]

It would make it easier, but it would just be one of many things that lead to my decision. What kind of person he/she is is more important

[katya]

No, I too scare to say it anyone

[The Dude]

Absolutely. If ever there was a green light to talk about it, that would be it.

[Zuki]

Yes, definitely!

That's sort of how I roll when it comes to being honest about my fetish. I casually slip the topic of fetishes into a conversation and gauge their responses. I find them all pretty fascinating.

[Seeker of the Way]

I would, but only, I think, to a committed girlfriend. It's a very personal thing, and I would hope that anyone I became involved with would appreciate that kind of trust. As you might be able to tell, this is all hypothetical for me.

[sexyhankysneeze]

I'd consider it....

[Ciel]

Only to a S.O and only if he is the kind of person who would accept it.

[deepinhale]

I'd probably just keep quiet or tell them I had a foot fetish or something. I'd be too worried about them telling somebody else.
