it is in fact genetic i.e. it is not something i have learnt through an odd experience or a mental illness (so there is nothing wrong with me smiley)


I don't know, but I suspect that it's a combination of genetics and experience.

They've found a gene that causes a person to become an abusive, violent adult, but only if he's abused in childhood. If he's not abused, or doesn't have the gene, he'll grow up normally.

I suspect sexual fetishes are similar.

Anyway, I would still agree that nothing's wrong with you.

so I wonder what percentage of people who are fat are fat because of sexual desires?


Wild guess: Between 5% and 40%.

My dad and brother have the same/similar fetish as me. There's at least some truth in this.

Oh, yeah, just remembered: I know of at least two cases where sisters turned out to both be feedees...

i hadn't previously considered inherited personality traits may require some sort of early trigger, that's really interesting, thanks


Another example: a baby monkey will learn to fear snakes if he sees his mother reacting fearfully to a snake, but he can't learn fear of, say, potatoes this way. So it's just like you say...he has an inherited fear of snakes that needs an environmental trigger to activate it.
