      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 know multiple people into kinks/fetish/BDSM who are asexual. Not all pleasure from these things are sexual for everyone.

        Licking armpits is a power dynamic. It’s often degrading or humiliating to the one doing it. Same reason I want to lick a beautiful woman’s feet. Also it’s an intimate act that you do with someone you love and trust. At least for me.

        It’s the opposite for me. Hair seems to wick the moisture off the skin and deodorant persist longer for me.

        When I shaved the sweat just kind of sat there without really evaporating and the deodorant just got sucked into the clothes more.

          My hair just holds the moisture close to my skin. It also gets in the way of the deodorant actually making it onto my skin.

      How many levels of kink are there? And guys… shaving armpits? That’s a thing? In my estimation that would get your “man card” a point deduction.

        Tbh I never rly thought of kink as having levels tbh lol but there are many dif kinds. Some are a bit more extreme by nature ig like D/s or bondage, but to me the degree of importance also plays a huge part. Like, liking smth and absolutely needing it. So I feel like that would raise the level as well

        For example, I like armpits but I could def go without, but there’s other stuff where that just wouldn’t be possible lol

        In recent years, men started shaving their body hair ye :( ig that trend came to be, bc body hair is viewed as smth unclean n shaving as “putting in extra effort” this is ofc a psyop by big razor. The fact that I like hairy men has nothing to do w my opinion, I assure u :3

        Sry for rambly comment :0

    I’m not into pits despite loving some mild sweaty smell. And no judgment to those who are, but it was very disappointing the one time I posted a pic of my boobs and just got people commenting on my pits.

        Yeah idk I haven’t bothered to post any nudes here, partly because it’s on main, largely because there’s no sapphic focused gw community on here, and partly because I haven’t taken any good nudes lately. Sorry to disappoint

      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

        Gotta have a tier 0 for the ace/pan/demi/etc out there. Though agreed people generally assume tier 1. … Although pansexual is probably tier 1, too, otherwise that seems more demi.

          Ace people without kinks do not have kinks and have not been included in this tier list. Neither have been the people who find people attractive but have no particular focus to their attraction beyond finding people attractive for the same reason. It’s not “I think boobs are part of what makes a woman attractive” it’s “oh I’m an absolute tit girl”. It’s just that it’s extremely common to have a sexual focus on one or more sex characteristics or a specific normative body type.

      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.

        Okay that was gonna be my follow up. Guess I’m glad people are starting to lean back towards natural body states.

        Yeah I kind of miss the discussions people would have back when internet forums were a little more anonymized. We’re trading that for some other values so at least rest assured there’s a non zero amount of people here uninterested in going through your post history for possible arm pit related comments.

      I like to lick them. It’s not like a huge must, but if my face happens to be in that area and the arm happens to be raised to allow access, eh why not.

      I guess it’s rarity? I dunno.

      But pits actually being important has gotta be at least a little higher.

      I don’t really know the intended scale though, so who knows.

      I think we need a psychologist to rate them cause piss sounds gross, but for some reason i think it may be more common than we think…

        It absolutely is.

        There’s also a lot of different variations of fetishes involving piss. For the “get pissed on / in / drink it” part of the fetish, I have a hunch that piss sits right on the boundary of gross/humiliating, but not actually harmful.

        Well.

        For me at least.
