Fetish going mainstream?

[nachtjaeger]

Spotted this article on Fox News, of all places: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2010/10/0 ... ts-fetish/

IIRC there were a couple people wondering how to start the conversation with their significant other. This might be a way to "break the ice" (or in our case, the thin crust on top of the bottomless clay pit.)

Thanks for posting

I guess with the rate that the internet is growing fetishes are getting more light than they used to, it probably will go mainstream in my opinion, but I think it will stay mostly on the internet. Though this is a good article to introduce someone to the concept, its open-minded and unbiased.

I can't decide if mainstream is good or bad. On the one hand, I like our remoteness in that I've posted a gazillon messages in Quicksandland with my real pictures too and nobody I know elsewhere has ever noticed.

On the other hand, after awhile it can get trying to be so far off the beaten path. The longer I do this, the less important it really seems. What's the big deal? Isn't this more like a miniscule deal? What does having a quicksand fetish really say about me as a person?

The longer I do this, the more the answer seems to be:

"Not a whole lot."

Nyssa Nevers talks about this in an interview with Fixe magazine. The magazine's motto is "We are the new mainstream."

Interesting- at the age when some of us on this forum were sinking Barbie & GI Joe between the couch cushions, she was tying them up.

I sunk Barbie in blankets wrapped around her to represent the ripples of the quicksand pit.

As a youngster I preferred female quicksand scenes because female sinkers were adult versions of me, and Barbie represented the gorgeous me that I hoped I'd be in about, oh, fifteen years.

But I woulda sunk Ken if he had been more appealing...he was always such a nerd. They never really made a Ken doll that was worthy of an honest-to-goodness little-girl crush. (That may have been intentional on the part of Mattel. He was officially considered an accessory, while Barbie was the product.)

All I can say is, after spending time on UMD, I don't wanna even think of what the pie-and-chocolate-syrup fans did to poor ol' Barb. They didn't need to use blankets as a substitute because there was no real mud in their bedrooms.

All their stuff was right there in the family kitchen.

Since the vast majority of fetishists are male, but little boys don't play with dolls...I certainly wonder how many sisters found their Barbie dolls mysteriously going missing.

I feel the same

Your sediments? What would those be, sand deposits? >.>

Anyways, I like the direction this movement is going in. The more people know about it, the easier it is to explain to friends/family.
