Agreed. Armpit fetishes are weird and gross to me, but they're a distinct rung down from "I want to shove my face between someone's asscheeks and aggressively mop up microscopic flecks of their shit with my tongue." I'm giving ass-eating people the side-eye if they make fun of armpit people.

It just democratizes Fecal Microbiota Transplantation. Power to the people!

can someone put this into comic strip form so i can understand it

Be the change you want to see

People keep saying this, but i've been following this community for quite a while now and its always had a fair chunk of horny posts.

visual and smell for me. if i see a dude out and about wearing a tank top i cant help but look at his pits area and think pls raise your arms for a second and give me a pit slip + wonder what they smell like, lol. thankfully i have a bf who is down to do whatever i want so i’m free to sniff and lick his pits as much as i want.

It's mostly visual for me. Like when a woman lifts her arms, it makes other things more appealing, so there's an association there.

On the lucky occasion I'm with a woman who doesn't shave, I just want to pet it, like if I could pet a squirrel. Like, what even is this? It's so rare and adorable.

Anyway it's times like this I think I should have an alt account on Lemmy.

i dont have a horniness refractory period

there’s no “enough”😔

Here's my attempt

Tier 1: primary and secondary sex characteristics (my breast fetish is cliche); indicators of health or fertility such as muscles and flat/bigger stomachs (depending on whether starvation or obesity is a bigger concern where you are). This zone is the default, people assume you're into this.

Tier 2: other body parts such as feet, pits, body hair; extrapolations from tier 1 kinks such as lactation and post workout stink; I'll also throw in role related ones such as mom/dad bods, being into certain professions or older/younger (adult) partners; also atypical body variants and body types not associated with health or fertility. This zone is normal but not the default

Tier 3: I'd say is where you get into light bdsm, humanoid monster fuckers, etc. This zone is stuff where it's way more common than people act, but still not the sort of thing normal people will casually mention

Tier 4: heavier bdsm, nonhuman monsterfuckers. This is the "hear me out" zone and the realm of you know you're kinky af, but it's generally considered prudish to have a problem with people liking it, but not to not want to hear anything about it

Tier 5: scat, flatulence, bug chasing, and other things where even the tier 4 people are often uncomfortable with it. Typically gross and/or destructive

powerscaling but for kinks?? Why isn't this a thing yet??

I'm ace and I have a morbid fascination with fetishes. A lot of them can be 'explained' by power dynamics, but then you get stuff like licking armpits that's completely incomprehensible to me, and I can't help but wonder what happened there. In like an evolutionary sense.

No kink shaming though. The homies can lick my armpits

I'm not ace and I still think all the things we do because we are horny are weird

And basically all feet gross me out, but I tongue punch the fart box, so...
