they're just sexually expressive themselves...TO THE EXTREMEWhy do so many people on the spectrum have weird, creepy fetishes?
Most of my life I'd had off-and-on attractions to wearing diapers again and recently thought "what the hey" and started off with a bag of Goodnites and went from there, trying different brands. What I've found is that the "protection" is making it easier to be in the presence of my overbearing family more as well as the sensory feelgood. It is a bit of a risk of being found out and the possible aftermath of such, since I have no actual medical need though I was a late bedwetter.
Several things go through my mind; part of this has got to be the classic aspie late-blooming sudden intense interest. 2; I don't perceive my childhood as happy and loving as I thought it should have been, 3; I'm uncomfortable as an adult and the world's expectations for me to live up to, and 4; living with my family being the way it is, with these expectations and yet wanting to figuratively treat me as a toddler, this is a subconscious gesture in congruence with my history of stepping into the role of the accused. This is just my rational, logical self hashing it out, but from what I've been researching, it's like autism - it was already there and it's not going away on its own.
Am I truly alone in my double dose of weird?
Hmmm. What makes this 'creepy'? Are we molesting children, proselytizing them or accosting the public with it? Is it against the law?Why do so many people on the spectrum have weird, creepy fetishes?
That's fair enough. Thank you for being willing to give a little room.Just because something isn't a crime doesn't mean it isn't odd or creepy. Not saying the people who do it are creepy, just the idea of it. I buy the New Balance ladies underwear from Amazon, they're very comfortable, no tags at all, and are that stretchy, sporty sort of material. Much more dignifying than wearing adult diapers. It's bad enough having to wear a sanitary pad during periods. Well, I've given up periods now, by taking the pill continuously, because the pads wouldn't stick in my super comfortable New Balance underwear.
that's what i'm trying to do:being brave in talking about it,but the negative reaction of those amongst my family (mother,brother) stand in the way of things.i have a fetish for underwear (gray,black,orange,purple,leopard-print),panties included,while walking around half-naked like i live in the jungle,it's how i sexually express myself like i would've done when i was 11,but i do walk around entirely naked when i'm wearing boxer briefs,it's also like i live in the jungle ,especially when boxer-briefs are so old-fashioned,along side tighty-whities.it would alarmingly upset people amongst my family (mother,brother) or my friends if they knew or heard about it.I knew about people having fetishes for diapers (i think there is even some name for it), so was very interested in reading this thread, knowing that it won't be about an actual fetish.
Indeed what almost everyone wrote here is that it isn't about sexual things for them, but about feeling comfortable and safe wearing those.
I really appreciate everyone being brave enough to talk about things like this. You all have the right wearing things which makes you feel good.
