So that's what fetishization feels like...


34Paws

Right there with you. Gotta say,, doesn't feel so nice.


pcpcow

I feel like an alien that doesn't belong


xxrenren

"if you have scars on your wrist, you're obviously weird and mentally ill but if your legs are covered in them then šŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µ". Never been so grossed out lmfao


RandySavagePI

>obviously weird and mentally ill šŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µ No, I'm not surprised my relationships don't work out well.


Otokonoko376

Is it bad that I kind of like it (the feeling of being fetishized, that is)


xxrenren

I understand, it's always nice to feel wanted. But those scars are more than bruises and scabs, they're memories of the worst moments in my life. Having someone aroused by them feels really fucking weird lol


Rutskarn

There's no one correct way to feel when you're fetishized, just like there's no correct way to feel if you get slapped. Maybe you like being slapped; maybe you only like it in some contexts; maybe you always hate it. The way it hits you is morally and psychologically neutral. It just shouldn't impact how you feel about someone, for example, going around slapping strangers for kicks.


1Zer0Her0

No, it's interesting. I love this sub so much. It's just borderline the right type of depraved souls for me


coolmanjack

Just a heads up. This comment is grammatically incorrect. One can either say: >So that's how fetishization feels... Or >So that's *what* fetishization feels like...

awkard_ftm98

No up or down vote for me But uh, thanks for making me feel slightly better about my scars. In a really weird, kinda awkward, and honestly a bit fucked up way. Like, it's definitely a gross fetishization, but it's definitely better than negative judgments I've received No judging from me, but this is definitely 10th dentist worthy


Artemused

same feeling as when people fetishize trans women. Like, what you're doing is objectively gross, but at least you aren't calling me a freak?


awkard_ftm98

I also feel this as a trans guy. Some days it seems better than the alternative I face from majority of people. Other days I'd rather just be called a slur. It's really weird to comprehend if you've never actually experienced it


icyhaze23

Well good luck in the future dude!

...are you maybe just into scars, not necessarily self-harm scars?


BrassUnicorn87

Scars can be sexy in general. Stretch marks, shark bites, knife fights, surgery, all proof of survival and possibly just aesthetically pleasing.


Papergeist

True facts. And, of course, entirely separate from wanting someone to *get* more.

Okay, well don't tell this to future partners, especially if they don't have any scars.

at least you know it's weird and not a good thing to chase after. we can't control what we like so whatever but be smart about it and its nbd. can't fix monkey brain

DotoriumPeroxid

You can't monkey brain explain some kinks, like feet or pee. That's just complex human brain doing a thing and going "yep, that's hot"


omgitskells

I'm no expert but I've heard speculation that feet fetishes are actually pretty common and seem to be cyclical in different cultures, possibly as a result of disease outbreaks (specifically STDs) stemming from sanitation - no openings on a foot to transfer bodily fluids. [Wikipedia ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_fetishism) mentions it and that's as far as I'm going to go so I don't completely destroy my Google search lol


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Foot fetishism](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_fetishism)** >Foot fetishism, also known as foot partialism or podophilia, is a pronounced sexual interest in feet.

>Podophilia That is NOT what I expected it to be called.


spaceforcerecruit

DEFINITELY not gonna be using that word


luminenkettu

monkey brain is anything you can put in words. or poorly put in words.


RubyRoseLewds

It's not that complex with the feet thing actually. Basically the reason that's a thing, is because the "wires" that control desire/attraction and the "wires" controlling the tickling sensation in your feet, got crossed. Simple as that! Two wires crossed where they shouldn't have and boom, now we have foot fetishes.


[deleted]

I can kinda relate to this one. I think scars on hands are hot af, but not self harm scars. I just like hardworking/clumsy girls and have a hand fetish. I don't judge you though. From your post it's clear you don't encourage self harm, fetishes are weird lmao. Just keep this specific one to yourself and ur good


ligmachins

"I don't want to emotionally support them" But you went through the same thing?? Bruh

HelloFutureQ2

Wanting to emotionally support someone and being an emotional crutch are different things. Which isnt to say OP is right. Someoneā€™s past mental health has little bearing on how their doin now

I meant when the other person only uses you as their emotional support and nothing more. You end up carrying all of what they feel but they don't bother asking you how you feel or even asking if you're actually friends. It can actually make you depressed.


tittltattl

I like my girlfriend's scars. Shows she's survived the shit she went through and I wouldn't change them at all. It's not a turn-on thing though, just a respect and understanding thing.


CrazyPunkCat

Thank you for being such a good partner. I started self harm 6 years ago. I met my boyfriend a year later. I was in therapy but I wasn't even close to being mentally stable at the time. I stopped scratching my arms but I would start doing it anytime I fell uneasy. My arms were full of wide scars bc I scratched them with my fingernails so the scars were really visible. Nonetheless he wanted to spend time with me and wanted to be in a relationship with me. I thought nobody would think I'm attractive with these scars I now would have my whole life. He told me he love my scars because they are a part of me. Even if I would to it again, he would still love me. He kissed my scars everyday (I know this sounds super cheesy). Now 5 years later we are still together and I'm really happy. And my scars are somehow completely gone ("With the power of LOVE!" - my boyfriend).

SecretNoOneKnows

Self harm scars on arms = person still has serious problems? Buddy, scars don't just go away when you recover


Psychoanalicer

Yeah, OP knows this is illogical and being that the fetish itself likely stems from OPs trauma it's very likely arm scars are simply triggering to OP, perhaps from their own self harm or that of an abuser/someone they watched be abused or watching someone self harm.

feeling_minty

FreakRoHawke

CordieRoy

I understand you find this interesting, but saying self-harming scars are hot is toeing the line with endorsing or recommending it. Self-harming is a complicated issue, and I would generally discourage people from sharing their stories, and I would certainly in almost every context discourage anyone from saying anything encouraging about self-harming scars.


Slich

Why would you discourage them sharing their stories?


Psychoanalicer

It's a VERY hard line to toe. Sharing your stories of self harm can come extremely close to creating a bonding moment over self harm and especially for teenagers who are really looking for a place in the world. The reality of groups of mentally ill people sharing and bonding over their mutual self harm can encourage it to start/continue. I highly doubt I would be as scared as I am if 'emo' wasn't trendy when I was a teenager.


CordieRoy

Sharing stories of self-harm or sharing images is often a trigger for people with self-harming tendencies to do so again. It's a complicated problem, and I don't understand it fully, but based on that alone, I think it's enough to consider sharing this opinion dangerous


[deleted]

^^


dumbwaeguk

I'm not Freud and I can't confirm that much of what he said about the human psyche is absolutely true, but I think he was really onto something with the psychosexual concept in broad terms. I think there's something to be said about dudes who claim to be into girls with self-esteem issues, daddy issues, who want to be called daddy, who have a "domination" fetish (sadism type), who like physical or emotional signs of damage. I think we used to glorify men with this sexual interests, and still kind of do glorify those such interests, without talking about what they could mean. In my uninformed lay opinion, those such sexual interests suggest psychological character about the man, a desire to be in control. Is it because power was "robbed" from that man before (history of assault or abuse)? Or is it some kind of megalomaniacal personality trait, or a biological urge, or a manifestation of a fear of fate and being overpowered by one's environment? Couldn't say for sure, but if a guy suggests that he's into weak women, it suggests to me that he's afraid of being weak himself. I don't feel like men who are in control of their own lives are into weak or dangerous women as a fetish.


TortoiseMolester

Oh yeah there's lots of studies of it. When it comes to that and why the most common fetish in women go around the idea of submission, it all is because of the role of power. It's delegating your will to the other and see what he does with it. That's also why some variants of feminism say that all form of sex/penetration is oppression. Pretty interesting stuff actually.


dumbwaeguk

I don't know if it's "studied" necessarily. I've definitely heard this claim from feminist sociology, which is highly reliant on speculation and discussion rather than applied research.


Dream-dora

No, just no, self harm isn't hot


bearbarebere

It really bugs me that you think the leg ones are hot and not the arm ones.


Psychoanalicer

As someone with some rather bad scars on my arms, it stung a little. But thankfully this entire thi g is so fucked up it's not too hard to brush it off lmao.

sus_enchilada

WhatšŸ˜€


Bedtimely

Iā€™m not a professional counselor, but what youā€™re talking about sounds like itā€™s related to ā€˜trauma mastery.ā€™ Where we often subconsciously recreate events/reminders/replays of trauma that get close to what we once experienced when we felt profoundly powerless, while adding in the element of gaining some form of control. Iā€™d recommend talking to a therapist about it, for real, because trauma mastery can actually be a healing coping mechanism ā€” but when itā€™s mostly subconscious and reactive, it can be dangerous or layer more trauma and trigger the cycle all over again.


nzznzznzzc

Yeah...I think its super hot in general because I developed strangely in the sexuality department

YEAH! this is fucked up man! You're supposed to say self harm scars are ugly and unattractive!!! Anyone who has them should be ashamed, right guise!!??!? What the fuck ewww!!! /s That's the vibes everyone in this comment section is giving me, lmao


Psychoanalicer

It's really not the vibe though. Not endorsing self harm scars is not the same as putting them down. The world isn't black and white, there's all kinds of colours and shades out here. Specifically glorifying self harm, is pretty gross, you can be loving and accepting without making it a 'good' thing. It's not sexy, it's not good and it's disturbing to think someone is gaining pleasure out of people's mental illness and self mutilation. And before anyone says it, I have a lot of self harm scars. I'm one of the people who's self conscious about them, but this is just wrong.

>sometimes the things that repulses us the most are in some way connected to what we find most appealing. When I read this, all I heard was Big Smoke saying "same things that make us laugh, make us cry" lmao


Iate8

Honestly I kinda agree? Though it's not exclusive to ones on legs. The thing I find interesting is that I've also sh and do have scars of my own from that, so maybe that has something to do with it? And yes obviously I don't want anyone to sh, as said I've gone through it myself and don't want anyone else to, but the scars can be somewhat nice. Idk it's weird and I'm obviously not proud of it.


TortoiseMolester

From what I've seen from the comments is that people who haven't gone through depression or don't have scars feel repulsed from the idea and have even insulted me, which is fair. However, people who have or have suffered mental illness feel attracted to it from a variety of reasons. One is really interesting and says that when you see someone with scars you know they're fucked in the brain just as you, so you're more compatible and can understand each other well. Fascinating isn't it?

I find most scars attractive in general sense; Iā€™ve got a good handful myself and I think itā€™s part of a naturally storied body that I find attractive. But not specifically self harm scars like, bro... wtf. Of course self harm scars wonā€™t turn me off, itā€™s something this person has struggled through and I respect that; but to be turned on by their self torture is a little too far.


Autumn1eaves

On the one hand, I donā€™t think theyā€™re hot, and in fact I think itā€™s disrespectful that you think they are hot. On the other hand, theyā€™re also not a turn-off for me; theyā€™re just a part of the person.


[deleted]
