[NSFW]

Tap for spoilerI was recently told of the mom fetish where some women get off on treating their partner like their child- making them dinner while they play videogames and such.

I remember once dating a girl where she did exactly that, straight up to the way she called me sweetie. I honestly didn't think much of it at all, I just thought "hot damn I get to play Zelda, get made an amazing meal, and then get laid!? This is the best deal EVER".

From my perspective it wasn't weird, she was just very considerate and hot. I don't know if it was her fetish, but just knowing it could be makes me rethink the whole situation.

I highly doubt it was the fetish. Some women are just like that.

Especially if you ever date an actual mom, a lot of times she'll just slip into "mom mode" without even realizing and start cooking for you or doing your laundry or whatever. It's second nature.

...sooo I'm a decently attractive (child-free) lady that's historically been this way with my partners (granted, not every day. Basically all of my relationships have been long-term, so y'know, sometimes the mood just isn't there).

This is the first time I've heard of the mom fetish, and it also made me feel weird lol. But also made me reflect on why I've always kinda been that way, and wonder if this is maybe subconsciously the reason?

Turns out, the answer is a solid "no" lol.

I definitely had an upbringing that conditioned me to be the type of person that serves others. And so as I grew up, I guess that turned into a way that I show interest/love.

So maybe it was a similar thing for your girl? Ooooor maybe she was REALLY into feeling like a mom lol. The world may never know.

Probably one of the least destructive fetishes, getting treated like a kid, lol. Or perhaps I've just seen too much crazy shit on the Internet after a decade on early 10s Reddit.
