Now I want to see a chart. Because I have totally made up numbers in my head, and they don't even rank.
At least we know the toy sailboat is way down there at the bottom.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

My theoretical model is that any relationship that contains a power dynamic is fetishized, with the most obvious ones being the most common. So cop/prisoner, nurse/patient, drill instructor/new recruit, teacher/student and mommy/baby being near the top of the pyramid. As a service offered by dommes its usually referred to as "age regression."
The other axis of my theoretical model is that if it's taboo it's more likely to take hold in your psyche, with the most forbidden things having the most potency. Hence, the popularity of poop play. See also: incest, water sports, bloodplay, Nazi imagery etc.

Poor Mac! Poor Msbelle!
Toy Boat fetish, was, at least at the time, totally un-googleable. Like, no information. No one likes the poor toy boats.

Sure, but I know plenty of people who are totally into topping scenes of cop/interrogation or teacher/student or whatever. Fewer people I know are either into or ADMIT being into the mommy thing. Though lots of people I know flag daddy/boy, it's not infantilism age play like that.

Well the store closes at 10, so I guess well have to leave then. No idea how to get out of this. None!

msbelle, what if a store employee tells him he has to leave with you? Bad idea?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Another reason why it's mostly catered to by professional dommes. It's mostly guys who are into it, and they tend to be embarrassed about it. IME. YBabyMV.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

There's a fairly robust ageplay community in the Ohio kink world, and prodommes don't enter into it. Now, I'm sure that part of that is because Ohio's not a big prodomme area anyway. (I'm not saying they don't exist -- just, laws in the state make it hard for prodommes to make a living.)
I don't understand the ageplay thing, and the daddy/daughter thing actually skeeves me horribly, but the people we know who do ageplay *really* love it.

We've tried to do research on the ground, as it were, and have found no one into toy boats.

Another one I don't get, and could never do? Raceplay. Whooooo. Yikes.
