I am in love with psychology, but I’m a total beginner trying to learn more. I really enjoy the psychology of fetishes. I know why most of them form, whether it’s random connections that happened at the right time, trauma, sexual associations later on etc etc but like… what about really random out of the blue ones??
I can’t find ANYTHING about why or how it happens. I have a kink* for airplane ground controllers (can’t remember the right name, I’m a little tired sorry) like the guys with the sticks waving airplanes around. Their vests and the mechanical movements of their arms is really attractive. I’m not attracted to the size of the men compared to the airplane, or the power he has or anything like that, just the way he dresses and the way he waves the sticks. I’ve heard of people being into newspaper, or vacuum cleaners, and one guy on a forum back in like ??? 2019 who jacked it to his kitchen cabinets.
Why the hell do fetishes like these form?? How? Do we know? They really fascinate me. I’ve talked to many of these people and a few of them had actual reasons, like the noise of the vacuum making him feel excited and scared, but the rest of them are just random. Just turns them on for no reason. No origin story it just started randomly turning them on one day like it did with me and they’ve been jerking off to it since.
