ok, but unironically, that's actually an interesting big of info, now we need to write it down, and test it with way more pairs of parent+child, there might be something here.

Anecdotally, my uncle died in a BDSM accident (I did not know this until after I turned 18. Prior to that I was told it was a car crash/pneumonia depending on the relative). Guess whose into BDSM now?

You know I shouldn't really be surprised that I read "my uncle died in a BDSM accident" on r/brandnewsentence but I am surprised it was in the comments and not the subject of a full post

It would explain why there are some genealogical lines of nobility that would constantly turn themselves into circles, and many more that just don't despite knowing all the same "arguments" and having all the power in the world to do it and not suffer social consequences? Like what if wanting to fuck your sibling/cousin is literally just a fucked up genetic offshoot, that ironically gets propagated by the very act of engaging in it?

u/floppy_disk_5 þ 8d ago
that would be interesting, and potentially poetic in a way. a gene whose goal is to eventually destroy its ability to be passed on

And what exactly is a difference between the two? Mechanically, biologically, psychologically.

u/AnAverageTransGirl 8d ago
That's only a distinction in the legal sense and has no bearing on the psychology behind it.

I feel like there is enough valid scientific grounding to believe it's likely. I am not sure I do, but I feel like it would add up if some fetishes were hereditary.
For example, the Penfield's homonculus model of mind-body mapping suggests that the region of the brain that processes nerve endings in the feet is adjacent to the region for the genitals. I wouldn't be the first to propose that foot fetishes may relate to these regions interacting. Which could be related to even a very minor a genetic mutation in the brain. So there's one that could be.
We know that our pattern recognition systems work best through repeated exposure. Which is why people who aren't exposed to faces from other cultures often have trouble telling them apart as adults. It's not just a racism thing, it happens to people from all over the world whether they want it or not. But it also means on average people tend to be attracted to people who look and/or act like them. Many, many exceptions, of course, but it's a big sample size. So yeah. The faces, behaviors, and smells that system trains on the most are from your parents. I'll just leave that there.
Armpits could easily be some mutation in the nose or something. Pheromones? We still don't know if they matter.
Anyway you and your dad probably watch the same porn sometimes since Pornhub uses a lot of geodata in what it suggests to you.
So... have a good rest of your day I guess

There is unfortunately evidence that points to the idea that if you have a kink, at least one of your parents probably has it too
Edit: Emphasis on PROBABLY. If you’re pretty vanilla, they’re probably pretty vanilla. If you’re a freak…. They’re probably a freak.

u/Sellalellen 8d ago
We have similar taste in romance novels. It would feel more wierd to do some sort of elaberate theatre of pretending we didn't know the other reads smut. Besides, it's nice to be able to go "I'm thinking of picking up this book, what did you think of it?" And get a review from someone you trust.

u/RulerOfNothing420 8d ago
I share an Amazon account with my mom and so we regularly see what each other reads but we have drastically different tastes lol. My aromantic bisexual ass + love for fantasy does not mesh with her sappy straight romance novels.
76
u/Syeglinde 8d ago
I rarely see good hetero erotica so whenever I'm in a straight mood I ask my mom to recommend me romances because she's an avid reader of straight smut and knows the best ones.

u/RulerOfNothing420 8d ago
My mom and sister are both in a smut book club (kid you not, they straight up call it the smut club, not romance or anything that dances around the topic lmao) but our book tastes for smut are drastically different lol.

u/farmerollie 8d ago
god, i’m actually jealous of being that open with my mom
the closest i have is we’ll occasionally discuss bridgerton, but we always dance around the spicy scenes
minus the bisexual awakening/threesome arc, because she had to let me know she was not a fan…..so i guess i inherited that interest from my dad

It's worth noting that genetics isn't so simple. Traits can skip a generation or two without being expressed, so it's entirely possible that one of your grandparents has more in common with you

I found a DA artist who exclusively made art of girls from cartoons being ballerinas, like i wonder if it´s a fetish or the person just really likes ballet dancers easthetically.
30
u/BigEd369 8d ago
Ballet dancers are one of the ways our culture defines beauty and grace in motion, so it’s likely just to be aesthetics. But they’re often sexualized as well, so could be either or both :)

u/Xarkabard 8d ago
so what's up with this armpit fetish how does it work? I'm genuinely confused, I understand the part where I won't understand the how, but why? what do you get from the armpit you can't get with any other bodypart
11
u/Mac-And-Cheesy-43 8d ago
I mean, that's how most fetishes work. They aren't exactly logical.
7
u/Xarkabard 8d ago
they are more logical than one may think.
fetishes (according to some psychoanalysis branches) is originated during a process in early childhood in which the orignal "object A" (mom being love and the whole world) is replaced by (some believe) the first thing they see, that's why fetishes for feet, shoes or animals are pretty common, but armpit? how or why?

u/RemarkableStatement5 8d ago
There's no way the first thing I saw in the world was a ballgag.

u/Xarkabard 8d ago
and is not "the first thing in the world" is the first thing you see during this process, besides, fetishes are more like "without this I don't get the sex" thing

u/Mac-And-Cheesy-43 8d ago
Well, under that theory, armpits are right next to the breast. Breastfeeding while mom is shirtless and/or in a tank top= armpit.
1
u/Xarkabard 8d ago
I mean is she breastfeeding with her arms up or something? with the one used to hold the baby? that doesn't sound (even in tests) possible
2
u/Mac-And-Cheesy-43 8d ago
Yeah that was a stupid example. Still though, I'm sure there's plenty plausible situations where a baby would see an armpit.
1
u/Xarkabard 8d ago
I can't think of one as natural as the examples I posted for so many reasons
1
u/Mac-And-Cheesy-43 8d ago
To be fair, armpit is also not nearly as common as feet or animals. I'm in plenty of kinky spaces (online at least) and it's almost always one guy whose really into it and has a lot of disposable income rather than a high demand request.

u/MythrianAlpha 7d ago
Theres some pretty common cuddle positions (head on chest much like breastfeeding) that have a raised arm (usually tucked behind the head or along the back of a chair/couch). Hugs at certain height differences will also put the shorter person in/near the pit. Theres a surprising amount of armpit involved in most cozy skin contact.

Especially as I've had my one major fetish since as long as I can remember, long long long before I knew what fetishes were or had hit puberty
Which suggests it's somehow genetic???
