Is there any way to get rid of an embarrassing fetish?

Genuinely serious here. Do you think something like pedophilia is a fetish, or a psychiatric disorder? If the former is true, wouldn't that mean that actively trying to get rid of it is impossible? Now I want to be clear that I don't condone the actions of pedophiles, but it's a little distressing that someone can be born with that kind of fetish. Almost like being forced into a game of russian roulette and losing.

It could be either. It is irrelevenant, though, because it is basically like you said. Whowever was either born with it or developed it, but now can't get rid of it, got bad luck, because it is harmfull to society. Therefore, society will fight against it. Like an organism fighting a disease. Neutering might be an option, but if that doesn't work, nothing can help. That's the harsh reality.

I doubt it, OP. At some point you're asking whether one can choose not to be gay. There are people who claim they were gay, but are no longer, and my theory is that they live lives of intense unhappiness and sexual repression.

If you really want to give it a shot, you can talk to a psychologist. I think most of them will try to talk you out of it. I think the "choose not to be gay" people attempt aversion therapy (associating the attraction with things like electric shocks), but that would probably end poorly. These things get really ingrained.

I hate having fetishes that I can't talk about with people. For what it's worth, if I found out about someone I knew having your fetish, I wouldn't care.

If it does work like a fetish then it's something one doesn't need to act out though. A lot of them are things that cannot be acted upon. Though on the other hand, the real life temptation doesn't exist either so I have no clue how hard that is to handle.

The same way it works for other people who see people in public that turn them on.

As others have said just embrace your fetish. I have a bunch of "weird" fetishes. Some of them make me feel ashamed, like I'm some kind of bad person. This dreadful cloud of shame looms above me while fapping and increases with intensity until a soul crushing storm of desparity overwhelms me at the height of my climax.

Feels great.

OP, it's time to come to self-acceptance. You basically say it's not a problem, so get over the part of yourself that gets embarrassed. All sorts of people think of "weird" shit all the time, you're not unique. And it's not embarrassing.

It's ok. Samus inflation pics are hot.

Man, Samus is like a fetish of her own at this point.

I just wish the writing would get stop being so one-note in today's hentai mangas. I get it, everyone's a secret pervert and bodies are so lewd or whatever, but come on. More silliness (just text, but NSFW text): http://i.imgur.com/9mHVf.jpg

No it's not, that photo is very clearly photoshop. Find me another picture of that guy and we'll see.

And it's synthol over saline for that size, but not in this case.

Google bagel head. It was a thing. It was real.

Edit: Here's a NatGeo video featuring it. Warning, needles for the squeamish.

Shame and humiliation are genuinely a huge part of why my fetishes turn me on. I'm a bad, bad boy.

I don't share this fetish, and I know this is a post from the first page, but IMO, this attitude:

I actually don't like seeing these types of pictures posted, though. It's weird to post them in a public place (which is why I used a tame one as an example), and I think should be kept to fetish sites. Like that one dude with the fat Nintendo avatars pisses me off, because that's something I don't think you should wear with pride. You should be embarrassed by it. I want to be shamed out of it.

Is more unhealthy and disturbing in my opinion than having the fetish itself.
 
I'm surprised the resident BBW GAFer is not here. His username is hard to spell.

Still don't know what BBW stands for.

Embrace it, fetishes can be cool.
 
I have an embarrassing fetish that I will never let anyone know. But I'm 100% sure there's no way of getting rid of it. I even Googled mine and it was common but still weird and embarrassing enough that it's not casual enough to talk about.

Oh we playing a game where we're suppose to ask?
 
OP, relax. Everyone is into weird shit and honestly, unless your into a particular fetish your probably going to think it's strange. They could even be described as the ability to find beauty and pleasure in places most others can't or don't. What is sort of unsettling is how ashamed or disgusted you are of yours.

I'm not saying all fetishes are created equal, there are some certainly more unhealthy than others, but your particular one seems harmless enough. I think you feel so bad about about it simply because you've been raised and taught that stuff like that is outside of the "normal" sphere of what's sexual. There is no normal, especially now with the internet giving everybody a front row seat to whatever crazy niche fetish they can think of. Enjoy yourself and try not to worry about what other people might think if they knew because odds are they're also into something that would make you go "...really!?"
 
this is my fetish

Me too! Nothing turns me on like a sexy giant woman crushing people and buildings for no reason but her sexual pleasure.

Not even ashamed. Only annoyed, because it's a relatively obscure and specific fetish, so it's hard to find content to jack it to. I have to settle for stories mostly, because there are only a handful of competent artists out there, and the collages do nothing for me.
 
I have a fetish that is somewhat embarrassing, but not something too weird. I've only told a couple of friends about it, and they didn't make fun of me which surprised me.

Seems like lots of people have it, though, because there are lots of forums/websites/whatnot.
 
Okay, here's an example I lifted from the "Awesome: Fan-Art Thread". I hate that thread because, while a lot of it is fucking weird, a few pictures are stuff I've seen before, and it reminds me I've got a weird fetish.

This is a really tame one, and this is more along my speed basically. It's not "fat girls", it's like when a skinny person gets really fat. I've always been aroused by this. Of course I have limits. I don't like when it involves the person experiencing serious pain, exploding, anything gory or bizarre. Basically just when a person gets really fat by eating food. Also, I usually like it if the person getting fat enjoys it, and if there's sort of a "dominating" aspect, like they're proud of themselves and not embarrassed.
There is a hardcore porn series called Feed Her Fuck Her that you would probably enjoy.

I never understood the gainer fetish, I've seen many videos of skinny or pretty fit guys who just want to get fat for some reason, It just blows my mind that they would want to wreck their beautiful attractive bodies like that, the worst part of them is they're the type that can eat fuckin' everything and not gain a pound, making me insanely jealous at the same time they weird me out.

Why does anyone do anything? To make themselves feel good, if that's what they enjoy, who am I to judge?

So long as it doesn't harm unwilling participants.
 
Macrophile here, OP. There was a point and time where I felt ashamed by my fetish and thought I should just get it out of my life. I tried, but in the end, I decided that getting rid of it just wasn't worth it, so I then embraced it and it's made me very happy.

A lot of folks here believe you should just embrace it, and I agree. Now, don't misconstrue; embracing it doesn't mean that you have to parade it around like a badge of honor. I hardly talk about my love of macrophilia to anybody else in everyday conversation, but for those that ask, I let them know without reservation. If they have a problem with my tastes, that's their problem. I'm not changing my preferences because of some preconceived notion of "being normal" in society. Fuck being normal.

I think in the end, just don't take your fetish so seriously. Embrace it and have fun, because that's what fetish is all about: having fun with sexuality!
