repressing the fetish?

[C.A.B.]

Repression only leads to trouble. You do it to avoid outside conflict (socially and emotionally) but in the end it just causes more internal conflict for the individual. I think its admirable that some people feel like they could do it for "love" or "the right person". But really, if they can't accept you the way you are, with a non significant sexual quirk are they really worth it to begin with?

I agree with the control aspect others have mentioned though. If the fetish is leading to harmful behaviour in your personal life it certainly needs to be controlled in some way. Repression is not the same. It has an unhealthy aspect of denial and shame associated with it.

I repressed this fetish for a long time, too damn long, in fact. After a while, I began to accept that it was a part of who I am. So my advice would be to embrace it, enjoy it, and explore it 🙂

Agreed. But do not confuse 'repression' with 'decorum' and 'discretion'. I wouldn't recommend hooting naked hanging from your boss's ceiling fan with a can of Valvoline and a pink rabbit vibe... ... ...unless, of course, your boss is into it.

Repression...from not finding a partner? *can't help but wonder about that* I personally am staring down the barrel at that...but its true not matter what happens, you will sooner or later find that you think about it....
