How is liking a guy in a tux who can fight a sexual deviance?!
Yeah. I think the word
paraphilia
just lost all meaning.
My poor little sick girl is very upset she can't eat the beef stew. Her stomach has been quiet all day, but I've had to force her to have crackers and toast, so...no. I'm making her chicken noodle soup and dishing her portion of the stew into faux Tupperware, so it is reserved for her. I told her she can eat it tomorrow if she is up to it, and if after a day or so she's still not up to it, I'll freeze it for her. That lessened the tears but didn't eliminate them. Poor punkin.
Thought, to be honest, what they're describing seems to include the idea of suit as a hobble and a feminising influence. I like the suit also as a failed attempt at civilisation, or a coopted attempt.
I can see that. I think, for me, it's the whole "you can dress him up, but the brute always lurks underneath," i.e. the failed attempt at civilization.
I've revealed far too much of my subconscious today.
Jilli, you are too serene and warm to be in the wacky category for me.
And too elegant. There's a romanticism there, which is also what I was going to say about sj.
Oops, I forgot to say how precious that picture of Matilda is. JZ, she's so beautiful.
Also, my 'paraphilia' post was composed and submitted before I saw ita's explanation. I hate when I do that.
Teppy, are you lurking? I finished my five day course of Zithromax last night. I want a glass of wine, tonight. Normally, I wouldn't give this a second though, but because Zithromax stays active in the system for days 6 through 10, I don't want to screw it up. The pharmacy info sheet is unhelpful in this regard.
Is it okay to have a glass of wine with my stew?
I don't see it as "attempt to civilize a brute," I see it as, "Yes, I do clean up nice, and while I'm at home in the wilderness defending you from rampaging hordes, I won't embarass you in polite society."
I'll be in my bunk.
Cindy, I would. I mean, I'm not Teppy, but the wine shouldn't affect the way the drug works.

I'm sorry Julia's so sick. Poor thing.
"Yes, I do clean up nice, and while I'm at home in the wilderness defending you from rampaging hordes, I won't embarass you in polite society."
Oh guh. (And if anyone's watching Men in Trees, this is Plow Guy, I think...)
Oh guh.
Wrod. And he's grinning at you through the crowd as if remembering what you looked like in the wilderness.
Back to the bunk.
"Yes, I do clean up nice, and while I'm at home in the wilderness defending you from rampaging hordes, I won't embarass you in polite society."

Now the knights in the meadow they numbered five hundred
But midst that dense throng I saw clearly but three
The first one still carries my lance in his shoulder
The second and third lie well bitten by steel
The ladies that evening they looked on me frowning
Saying "Any wild beast can do the deeds that we've seen"
So I danced in the galliard and lilted a chanson
Now all the knights grow quite jealous of me ...

The suit and tie fetish entry was all about power--either submitting to the power of the suited, or exercising dominance over them, pretty much.
I think I just like suits. Men who were born to them, and men who would rather be in BDUs but can do this too...hell, as long as it's a good, well-fitting suit, I don't really care why they're wearing it.
What comes after kink in the ranking? It's not a fetish, less still than a kink...preference makes it seem like if I like a guy in suits I don't like one in BDUs or something.
Wait, I remember. I have a uniform thing. Including suits.
Thing. That's the word I'll use as less than a kink.
