all of this.
it's like some kind of evolutionary failsafe---being attracted to the unhealthy ones. all kinds of respiratory infections. wtf is THAT what gets my motor running. there's just something about it i'm at a total loss to explain. it used to seem like a malicious fetish [i dislike the word, but..] to have---how weird to want to see someone brought low. but it's not some pitying nursy thing either. if i was going to try really hard to justify it, it's maybe related to wanting to value their well state---it's wanting to see them damaged so then you can see them recover. maybe. but then you just want them to get sick again. god i don't know. i think i might be alone in this forum in that i don't need the sneezing part to have my attention drawn by a cold, but i feel much less guilty about thinking about "nuisance" head colds than i do about more serious chest/cough colds and they're def. both very attractive to me. [i don't want to catch it, though, whatever it is! i want to be always the control group, the unaffected. like being a "stone butch".] |

That's an extremely interesting point you make, looking at the evolutionary explanation to this. Illness fetishes in particular seem the opposite of advantageous; it would instead make sense for people to be attracted to healthy, athletic people who could produce the best offspring. I know there has been a lot of speculative conversation on this board about what this fetish is exactly, where did it come from, is it nurture or nature, etc. Fetishes make absolutely no sense in terms of evolution, so it's all some kind of strange, irrational behavior. Not that it's wrong or harmful, I think in many cases this fetish helps people get acquainted with their sexuality, but I ask that question a lot too... why?
I think it would be funny if somehow this fetish was an evolutionary strongpoint, and a million years in the future everyone would find illness and sneezing attractive.

Haha, natural selection at work.
I've thought that too, how the hell does this benefit me when all I want is to throw myself at someone who is a mass of germy contagion? In all seriousness, though, these fetishes are hard to explain and I don't think they have a real meaning one way or the other. My opinion is that as long as a sneeze/cold fetishist is not harming or thinking about harming another being, it's there and might as well be enjoyed. I mean sure, I drool at the thought of people with colds, but I'm not going out and trying to get people sick. That would complete negate the attractiveness of the situation. So I don't think there's any reason to feel guilty or weird about it, this is a fairly harmless fetish as far as fetishes go.

Yes I would not say that I really like sneezes all that much compared to congestion and sniffling, I LOVE cold voices. *dies*

I like colds no matter what the symptoms are, I think I like all cold symptoms pretty much equally, sneezes are nice but so is everything else  It's weird though, I get kind of embarrassed talking about sickness in real life, I don't think I could ever be the care-taking type, I just like 'watching' people with colds (mostly in fiction but sometimes in real life if it's someone attractive haha)

I like allergies, too, but even with them, I like the PROCESS (setting the sneezing aside as its own thing.) With a cold, there are so many steps, from contagion as far down as you want to take it, then building them back up, but having them still be lingeringly vulnerable - mrow!
 The thing for me is that it really is just in fiction. In real life, I do feel kind of squishy over some of the symptoms of a cold - but it's more a want-to-pet thing instead of a want-to-jump-bones thing. And it's only some things, with some people. I don't know why, but I enjoy it, and reading and writing about it all is certainly harmless, so hey, why not? -------------------- ========================================= This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. -George Bernard Shaw ========================================= Come visit the SFyrical Realm for SF and H/C goodness from me and others! :] |

I like allergies, but I like the cold more specially for taking care of the person.

QUOTE (Daisoku @ Jul 18 2009, 11:42 PM) I'm agreeing with everything people have said about a cold fetish. I go to fanfiction.net and just look stuff up, and even if it has no sneezing, I still get so turned on by it, though if there IS sneezing, it's a huge bonus. I like it all, but I think I have a list of favorite symptoms. 1. Sneezing(obviously) 2. Fever(Puurrrr~) 3. Congestion 4. Sniffling 5. CONTAGION 6. Nose Blowing 7. Coughing And then there's one that's not a symptom but is probably a MAJOR turn-on for most of us. DENIAL. Pretty much this, though Sneezing isn't my big thing, but the cough and fever~~~
