[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know that clinically, in psychology, it means "something that one must have in order to enjoy sex/get off" but conversationally it isn't used that way any more.
Bah - I disapprove. I think it's a useful linguistic distinction and eroding it does nobody any good. t /curmudgeon

I must say I contribute to the misuse of the word "fetish".
as do I. I joke that I have a fetish for the iliac crest. It doesn't mean that I won't get off if he doesn't have one, but boy does it make it (and me) much easier.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
After careful study of the pricing scale, noting that "booty" is under "kitty" and that tits don't seem to be covered anywhere else I'm going to guess that "lady lumps" are titties.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am with Jessica. I am particularly particular, because I run a couple, ah, thematic sites, and it's really clear when I get fetish submissions.
I know it's weird to have a website dedicated to barefoot guys. I know that. But have you seen foot fetish sites? I so totally don't have one of those.

So, Jess, what would you call those things that sort of, always work, but aren't psychosexual necessities. besides "How funny...Mom thinks I watch Numbers because of a new interest in math," To use a completely generic example...that happened to my friend. Steph J, David Duchovny has a good one. Of course on Californication, I see more of him than his internist.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Not to loop this conversation back into insanity, but I often hear/use the work kink in that context.

That I call a kink, just because I think it's weird for something to sort of, always work. So having a kink for bandaged hands (what? don't look at me like that) is just a strangeness.

Ok, maybe not always-always. But, you know, dependably. Always-always would lead me to being into Wolflowitz and Joel Steinberg. Gross.

Yup. "Kink" works fine in this context - no need to water down "fetish."
