Do you think fetishes are as old as humanity?

[saratk]

I had a thought..with all the people who have some form of fetish, I wonder if it has to do with the world we live in or if it's something that is a part of us. Nature vs nurture. Tickling seems to be something that has been around forever. Our bodies are sensitive and we react to tickling by laughing...I'm sure it's fascinated some people forever..so, do you think people in Ancient Egypt or 18th century France spent their day thinking about tickling fantasies? o

Fetishes are as old as the earth buddy. Look up the original definition, and it says something that is believed to contain power. That works too, you betcha believe it!

I remember reading about famous women of the past who enjoyed their feet being played with. You'd think I would have remembered who they were, but this was a long time ago. I think one was a queen of England. There are also ancient Egyptian images of people getting their feet rubbed. It's been around a long time. I wonder why other animals don't have these fetishes.

I would not go that far without evidence...

They do not have Internet-porn; I think...

I would agree with Ticklefeet. Fetishes do go back along time.

Sure, fetishes go back along time. A long time , even.

But I don't know about 4.54 billion years long ...

When the cavemen awoke on a morning, as the sun rose over the plains and they exited their caves, their thought process was as follows:

FOOD> SHELTER> FETISHES> FIRE> CAVE PAINTINGS

Naturally, things simply developed from there 😉

I would be skeptical as well... How do we know that the earlier Homo Sapiens with dicks, were walking amongst Homo Sapiens with vaginas - "you look attractive, but I still wanna fuck that monkey!" I can see beastiality, and then the fetish came in afterwards for that pussy. That is probably why females can be so coercive.

Awesome! That settles it for me.

As far as I read, the Nephilims are perv and I wouldn't want to imagine the massive prolapse that occurred during those times.

Well I would assume so. Having a fetish doesn't impede your ability to reproduce, so it couldn't affect evolution. After a bit of research I found this stuff out.

Hentai-style tentacle rape: In eighteenth century japan, a man named Katsushika Hokusai made a piece of art called "The Dream of the Fisherman's wife." An erotic woodcut that depicted a woman being pleasured by a squid. Citation:http://www.artandpopularculture.com/The_Dream_of_the_Fisherman's_Wife

Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation: In the seventeenth century, strangling was a rather effective treatment for erectile disfunction. A treatment that was discovered by looking at the erect member of people who were subjected to the gallows. Citation: http://www.cracked.com/article_18472_6-depraved-sexual-fetishes-that-are-older-than-you-think.html

THIS IS THE ONE YOU ALL REALLY WANT TO SEE
Foot Fetishism: The earliest documentation of this fetish is in 1220 AD. Foot Fetishism was popular in the middle ages because they believed it stopped them from contracting diseases such as Syphilis and the Bubonic Plague. Citation:http://www.cracked.com/article_18472_6-depraved-sexual-fetishes-that-are-older-than-you-think.html

This is where it gets worse, and then MUCH worse.
Necrophilia: Necrophilia was such a problem for the ancient egyptians that they had to let the bodies decay for four days before they would let anyone mummify the corpse. Citation:Same exact link above

And finally.
Zoophilia(Beastiality):There have been cave paintings from 8000BC that depict men having sex with a large array of animals. Bestiality is the only recorded fetish that goes back as far as humanity.

Ain't that the swellest thing you've read today?

Hold on a second. I missed one! BDSM has also been around since ancient history. In 470 BC, a female pharaoh had a picture of herself (In her tomb)being whipped and pleasured by two men.
