How Many Fetishists?

[peach]

I've tried to estimate the possibility of meeting a fetishist in real life (close to 0, duh), and I wondered how many people on earth are into this stuff. There's 6000 members of the forum. There must be around 500-1000 people who are not members yet (pending)? And then not everybody knows English well enough to find the forum and/or is lurking and doesn't want to join. Maybe around 6000 more people?.. 

I estimated the number in general to be 10-12 thousand, but I can be sooo far from the real answer. What do you guys think? 

*I have no idea if this question was brought up before, so I'm sorry if it was*

I think the forum represents a very, very small number of actual sneeze fetishists. I know people who have randomly come across more than one sneeze fetishist in their lifetime, so I'm really assuming there are anywhere from between several hundred thousand to several million. Out of a planet of billions that's still incredibly rare.

It's definitely a rare fetish, but most certainly out there. I'd estimate a prevalence of less than 0.05%, but that still means that there are tens to hundreds of thousands of us out there

I'd say there is also a very high number of fetishist who are not aware of having the fetish and still need to explore this part of their sexuality. I think if you count those in who think sneezing is "cute" because they still need to experience their fetish-awakening, the number would be much higher.

Assuming that there are other people like myself, I'd bet there are also tons of English speaking fetishists that don't even know the forum exists at all. I've had this feitsh my whole life but I've only know of the forum for a few months. 🤷‍♀️
