We talk about a lot of serious issues and depressing topics, and I thought we could use a nice generic question thread to pick the mood up a bit. Also, I saw this on another forum and wanted to respond, so there

So there are two questions really, but similar or overlapping somewhat in parts. First question is, do you have any fetishes? Second question is more broad: what kind of little, apparently insignificant things make you happy that nobody else knows about? Either in life, or in a guy (or a girl if you're bi, or straight), or just whatever?

I'd be interested to hear your responses, I'm gonna post some of mine below in a second

Fetishes: wow, too many to list here. It depends on how I'm feeling, but I'm certainly aroused by the tought of some light BDSM play. Of course, having little experience in the general area I'm certain that in a real life scenario I'd run and hide lol!

Things that make me melt inside: I don't know what it is, but seeing a guy's neck or shoulders or shoulder blade exposed, or just with a little fluff of hair resting on it, makes me melt inside. I mean, there's something very vulnerable and beautiful about the exposed neck. Also there's an element of unselfconsciousness about it - I like to notice guys when they think nobody's watching. Not in a stalkerish creepy way, of course, just to see how they are by themselves. It feels very intimate

In fact, there's a story to go with this.

When I was a few years younger - fourteen or fifteen maybe - I was in an art gallery in the middle of summer, just sitting there while my family were elsewhere. And next to me was sat this woman, clearly an artist, with a sketch pad, drawing this sculpture that sat in the middle of the room in front of us. The thing was, on the page opposite to her current drawing was a pencil sketch of a boy from behind in the process of taking his top off, sitting up at the side of a bed. Then as she got up to leave, her notebook fell open and out fell a beautiful Polaroid photo, which showed this boy sitting on his bed, bathed in this warm sunlight, and I realised she'd been working from a photograph. I thought the boy was beautiful, but almost forgot about him until about an hour or two later, while I was walking around (this was at a country park place with the art gallery in the centre) I walked past this woman again, and with her was the boy, slightly younger looking than me, but the boy in the photo. And as I walked past them, she didn't even register me, but he caught me looking, followed my gaze, and this tiny smile broke out over his face. And as they walked on I turned back to watch, and I just caught sight of his too-big t-shirt slipping off one shoulder, and his exposed neck and the upper arches of his back...
hmmm.

So yeah, I melt when I see a shoulder blade. True story

Oh, goodness!

Hmmm, fetishes? I guess I have a few
I'm really turned on by the idea of deep kissing someone as you're ejaculating, possibly inside them at the time. Something about it is just really hot and makes me ooooh


Things that make me melt:
I'm a romantic in my own way, so I just melt when boys open up; I'm one of those suckers for hard luck cases, but I honestly do think it takes a lot of courage to show any kind of vulnerability to other people, and it makes me feel warm inside when folks open up to me. So that's a pretty odd thing that makes me melt.
Ummm, what else...? You know, I think just generally being honest and open about things really does affect me.
In terms of little things in life that make me smile or laugh for no real reason...
The smell of the earth after a rain shower. I don't know what it is, but that smell of rain and nature just makes me smile.

Fetishes... I like to see people snog. With some genuine affection of course. Not the kinds that you get in pornos, even though both can get me hard

Things that can make me smile... You know when you watch films in some of them you get a shot that captivates and can tell lengths about "the moment". That makes me smile. Seeing MY dog run around in circles trying to catch its tail makes me smile, but no more. Seeing my dad crumbling over a stupid cricket match makes me smile. The list can go on and on I think...

I don't have any fetishes in the sense that most people use that term. I'm not into leather or piercings or tattoos role-playing games. That's not to say that I find these things unattractive. Any of them can or could illicit arousal under certain circumstances.

Rather I have an overall 'fetish' for attractive men/guys. Baseball caps with the bill tightly curled. Hoddies and sweats NE1?:



Some tats and piercings are nice -- a guy that is both masculine and in some sense 'open' or maybe a bit vulnerable, soft, but not 'twinkish' exactly. As a general rule I'm attracted to guys that are small in stature, say around 5'6" or so? Definitely 'boyish' but not boys.

As for what makes me smile -- lots of things but especially tender moments between guys. Recently as I was walking to work I saw these two guys. One was sitting on a low concrete planter box on the sidewalk and appeared to be visibly upset about something. His friend was kneeling beside him, rubbing his back and obviously trying to comfort him. They were both very hot and part of me wanted to stop and just look at them or take a picture but at the same time I didn't want to intrude. As I walked passed them I tried to take in as much as I could without being too obvious about it. (It was, after all, a totally public display of affection.) But that made me smile and warmed my heart.

hmm, difficult...

Fetishes: Some BDSM, mostly in the bondage area. I am an ass man... pretty much anything to do with a hot ass gets me going... well most anything but nothing just gross. I generally like guys of medium build , my height (5'9" / 175cm) or less. I dont like them to be muscular just in shape. Baseball caps really get me if the guy is shy and plays off the hat. Finally, Hot deep kisses during sex!

Smiles... Smiles & Eyes... Those two things really get me. Guys backs and I really prefer guys in shorts or jeans over naked. I like to leave something to the imagination.

General things I like... I LOVE to drive fast in a car. Something about it just gets me going. Heck any kind of speed- motorcycles, airplanes, fast boats!

I also really like to just curl up on the porch during a rainstorm and read. There is something about being outside during a really big storm and watching it and reading during the storm.
