People who like feet want to play with them. Adams Apple could be similar. Source: watched feet vids.
Japanese porn spends a lot of time licking body parts. Source: watched Japanese porn.
People are into all sorts of things, I’m sure it’s a turn-on for a few people. But yeah, very niche.
I learned recently some folks are super turned on by those dimples that some people have on their lower backs, AKA dimples of Venus.
That one sounds almost wholesome compared to some of the really weird stuff like diapers.
But yeah, that must have been a very awkward conversation. I’d have probably laughed, unfortunately. Not in a judgmental way. I think someone smarter than me said that we laugh at things that don’t make sense to us.
50 years from now you’ll be canceled for this comment.
Que? Tu a eatin flesh of sentient bemop, and dis sexy for you? Cancel this fool, sa sa que?
Why do you think anything primarily male would be a fetish?
Prostate cancer, you’re next
It’s probably because a huger number of prominent secondary sexual sex characteristics get fetishized.
A brief search seems to show that it’s an attractive quality like masculine forearms, and has a degree of fetish amongst the strangulation fetish community.
That’s horrifying.
There are also people who eat themselves to death for other people, like that avocado guy, and it’s just awful to know about.
I used to play Counter Strike a lot, and I generally played with randoms. It feels weird (but in a nice way) the number of people who have told me how nice or attractive my voice is. Admittedly it was mostly guys, and I’m straight, but it’s still a good compliment to get. I did make a lot of female friends on there though, with me consistently playing with one group. I don’t know if this is because of my voice or because I just treated them normally, but the voice didn’t hurt.
… I don’t really know why I wrote this. I guess just as a general agreement women like rumbly voices, which I don’t think was needed. Oh well.
To activate monkey neurons, it has to be an indicator of health.
As an example, large breasts indicate health, as malnourishment during adolescence tends to result in smaller breasts later on.
Muscles indicate health as well, so they tend to be considered attractive.
For non health related features, like a symmetrical face, those ones are the non sexual dimorphic characteristics, as those ones you care about transferring regardless of sex. Both men and women want a symmetrical face, basically.
So a large Adam’s apple is both a dimorphic feature and a non indicator of health, so its ignored.
“Small” breasts typically are still large compared to a man’s chest.
There are other factors than size anyways, for any feature. For breasts as an example, symmetry, skin clarity, and firmness will also signal a healthy prospective mate.
“Small” breasts usually actually means “not sagging due to age”, as naturally speaking breasts, cheeks, and the neck of humans are common areas where sagging due to collagen levels can be witnessed in older age, so these are common cited areas of sexyal attraction.
So “small” breasts really just means “not old”, which is fairly normal to signal the health of a potentional sexual partner.
Mature women is straightforward, older = more knowledge and capable.
Pretty much everything else you listed is about trust, so I’d say that trust is a very big thing you value in a partner, abd sue to humans very long time they spend dependant on parents and our community survival strategy, trust is very much a trait that is selected for.
People that are untrustworthy are unattractive, a lot if kinks primarily build on top of publicly shameful acts in private, which is effectively the ultimate trust fall exercise.
Feeling like you can trust a partner with such acts is very very positively reinforced genetically, so it becomes sexyally attractive.
In short: because humans live together and make complex communities, trust I’d important, which means getting kinky is very sexy as it signals deep rooted trust.
This one us really interesting. Primarily speaking ants a good example of where this type of genetic expression is taken to its logical extreme.
It’s basically the “aunt” and “uncle” survival trait that shows up in communal creatures. Homosexuality shows up in creatures that both need to raise their young abd stay together in herds. So humans of course very much satisfy this condition.
So how’s this relate to ants (and bees and termites too)?
In a colony, technically speaking everyone is the queens offspring, so everyone are siblings.
The queens aletes (prince and princess ants if you will) are only the queens offspring, all the drones dont sexually reproduce.
Yet, the drones all care for the offspring as if they are their own, that’s kinda weird from a survival standpoint right?
Well it’s simple, the drones are clones of the queen, so if they also heavily share genetics with the offspring. From a genetic standpoint there’s no difference.
So if the drones take care of the offspring like their own, and the offspring go on to mate, the drones genetics also propagate, so they have a evolutionary pressure to raise the babies despite not having any of their own.
The same occurs for homosexuality. Human babies are a lot of work to take care of, and if you have a sibling you share a lot of genetics, and you have an evolutionary pressure to take care of your nephews and neices, as it’s the “next best” option to propagating your own children. The genetic difference isn’t much worse.
So what ends up happening is you have an evolutionary benefit if a percent of your population is born homosexual, as they will help with raising their nieces and nephews, and it turns out thus combo has a net higher survival rate than just everyone being hetero.
So over thousands of years we get this gradual pressure to settle on a sweet spot of some % of us being gay.
This is also a solid explanation for the “fifth brother” thing, where every son a mother has is exponentially more likely to be gay. We haven’t fully isolated what causes it (its prolly hormones) but it’s a well known occurring phenomina that the more older brothers you have, the more likely you are to be gay.
Based on the above supposition, it’d 100% make sense from an evolution standpoint for mothers to produce homosexyal offspring if they have multiple healthy children, as after a certain point it makes sense strategy wise to have a couple gay uncles/aunts that naturally help their older siblings with childcare.
It’s just way way better for survival in nature if not everyone is pumping out babies, and a handful just aren’t into that but still take care of their family.
Basically it’s quality over quantity!
For non health related features, like a symmetrical face
Your genes code for symmetry. Symmetry in the resulting body indicates a healthy upbringing.
You just haven’t met anyone like my partner. She pauses movies and TV to point out how my neck “is sexier” than the actor’s. “Yours isn’t little and thin like his.”
“Thanks!”
She is definitely obsessed. Maybe not a fetish, but certainly a point of interest.
Yes, I’m clueless with regard to others liking or noticing me. My partner sees it and points it out for my benefit. Usually with, “Poor man, never knew he was hot until he met me!”
Everyone should be so lucky to be adored like I am now by my partner. And for things like, “your hands are perfect!”
“They… are? Thanks!”
I mean maybe it is if you count chasers?
Mostly it’s just that it’s not super noticeable on it’s own, not even in the indirect way something like the prostate can be
