How did your fetish begin?

[MadMax359]

i am different than many here in that i have more of a damsels in distress fetish than a purely quicksand fascination
also responded to scenes and images from an early age, and quicksand scenes were among my favorites

and i have found many more sites that feature quicksand than sites for buzzsaws and railroad tracks!

I've had it since I was little after watching the sprinkler scene in Honey I Shrunk the Kids. The part with Amy falling off the flagstone "cliff" and into the muddy water was what sparked it off, the idea of a girl/woman and her clothes/outfit getting wet and/or immersed.

The Never ending Story. That's also why it's bogs, not quicksand

I know exactly where it all started for me, Stuck_Cat.

Seeing Lois Nettleton sinking, struggling and screaming in a Venezuelan mud pit in the movie Valley of Mystery (1967). I was a teenager then and for reasons beyond my understanding (at that time) my body reacted strongly to her peril - with an erection. Soon after that I started secretly sketching crude pictures of girls sinking into deep mud and quicksand. Quite what my parents would have thought if they had discovered my hidden cache, I dread to think!

Thanks,

Redjak.

I was fascinated by quicksand scenes from a very young age. I was in early elementary school when I saw Revenge of the Zombies on TV, with the blonde zombie wife pushing the mad doctor (John Barrymore at that! - not one of his more auspicious roles) down and under. It made me feel really weird for a few days, and I didn’t understand the feeling. It wasn’t until puberty that I realized that it wasn’t just quicksand - it was WOMEN in quicksand, and it started to turn me on. I started trying to watch every Tarzan movie, hoping for a female scene. The two scenes mentioned by members above (Tarzan’s Hidden Jungle with Vera Miles, and Valley of Mystery with Lois Nettleton) are indeed the best in my opinion.

Matching the cliche here, I thought I was the only person in the world like this. It was not until the 1990’s that I had access to the internet. I of course discovered that, while not common I guess, there were many others like me. The TV/movie scenes don’t match the scenes filmed by the producers on this board, though. I have many of Dave’s videos. Nessie is the rare female producer here; she is real and her scenes are great. I like the damsel-in-distress dramatic scenes, with or without rescue.

It seems that I was wired this way from the beginning, or close to it. I have settled in to accepting this fetish as kind of a sideways gift, something more than others have. I don’t advertise it, although my wife knows. Maybe some of this rings a bell with others here.

This question gets asked routinely and it's caused me to think a lot about the answer. I've always assumed I was born with it since I have no memory of an specific trigger. Way back in my brain I have some shadowy thoughts of images similar to b/w Guns of Darkness. A few years ago I learned that it was first broadcast on television on NBC at a time when I would have been sitting in front of the tv at about age 3.

I’ve probably posted something like this before, but I had a similar experience. Watching quicksand scenes in cartoons when I was in my mid-single digits I was freaked about quicksand, thinking it was like some sort of “monster” or supernatural being that sucked you into the ground — until I asked my Dad and he told me “it’s just gravity” or something like that.

Years later, probably circa 10 y/o, I remember watching the scenes from Merlin and Bare Essentials, and for some weird reason, instead of being scared, I was strangely fascinated, and wanting to see more. I don’t think I was old enough yet to have any sexual interest in it; it would be a few more years before I first felt something watching a nude woman walk across the screen in a movie. Then at some point after that, I guess I started to connect the two and began desiring to see women covered in and sinking in mud.

I thought I was soooo weird for being interested in something like this at first (and still do from time to time lol), until in my later teens I finally got unfettered access to the internet and was shocked to discover I wasn’t the only one.
