discussing pee and kink

how can someone be angry at people having wetting kinks

it is one of the ones people are more ashamed about, and is barely discussed publicly because of it

but like

it's objectively innocuous. not that kink needs that to be deserving of respect, but seriously, being -angry- because some people like to piss themselves???

re: discussing pee and kink

@kitten i can't speak for anyone else, but a long time ago, i used to trust my instinctive disgust response a lot more than i do today - i'd get angry at folks because they were innocuous, so earnest, in expressing what makes them happy

this is a very myopic and egotistical way to see things, but at that time, i perceived such things as personal affronts to me in particular - like, how dare someone harmlessly enjoy something that would make me thoroughly miserable if i were to try it? (gotta love sensory issues /s) i imagined there being an intense social pressure to normalize something i didn't want to be my normal, and even though that wasn't really the case - and even though i often bit my tongue - there were a few times i lashed out, and i deeply regret that, even long after the fact

idk. people are complicated. today, though, i take comfort in folks liking things i'd rather pass on - it's nice to think that everything, and everyone, has meaning to someone, and it's lovely to be able to experience something i wouldn't otherwise want to by proxy just from hearing straight from someone else's mouth how much joy it brings them. that, i think, is magical. sorry for the ramble

@smolcasm hm :neocat_think:

that's an interesting perspective. I kinda get it, in a way

re: discussing pee and kink

@kitten i love the feeling of being able to understand and appreciate a perspective i don't hold myself - at least, now i do. but i think folks can be real jerks about being given the opportunity to understand something if they don't particularly want to understand it

discussing pee and kink

@kitten natural response to being presented with a concept that one has been systemically conditioned to consider disgusting-- because we've been told that it's bad for basically our entire lives. So when someone comes along that expresses not only the willingness to go against that established norm, but enjoys it-- maybe even derives sexual pleasure from it-- it shatters this worldview.

and when you shatter someone's worldview, their anchors to normalcy and sanity weaken, which makes people either get really aggressive or panicky.

think back to school, there was a strong separation between the genders, and as a consequence this has for many carried on until their early 20s. even at dating age some still hold the "cooties" or whatever concept in their head.

religion, discussing pee and kink

@kitten if you think about it, it's basically the same response as coming out as gay to deeply religious parents.

they get angry and panic because you are choosing to condemn yourself to hell???

same with wetting/watersports kink. you are choosing to defile yourself?

religion, discussing pee and kink

@ada yeah, I guess you're right...

re: discussing pee and kink

@kitten did i miss something????

re: discussing pee and kink

@rachaelspooky I saw someone posting about how to deliberately wet oneself and apparently someone got angry in the replies

re: discussing pee and kink

@kitten @rachaelspooky to be fair it wasn't in the replies but it got boosted into my timeline.

Also I probably should have only posted the first post as public visibility to not flood(lol) public timelines. But I was distracted by fitting things in the post length limit and you can't change that after posting. :/
