I'll be honest, I saw the title first and now I'm kind of disappointed that this isn't about a cockfighting forum. Not too disappointed because what is this fetish, but still.

I think this promises to be much more entertaining than cockfighting, mostly because animal cruelty would be depressing.

Yea as someone who grew up in an area with actual cockfighting as 'a thing' and poo poo, it's not really funny, I can only imagine their forum would be 'HEY HOW DO I STARVE MY BIRD ENOUGH SO HE'S MAD ALL THE TIME BUT NOT SO MUCH HE GETS WEAK?!'

Yeah, you're right. A cockfighting forum could be really dumb, but it'd have to be the one actually reprehensible reading for the year.

After this one, I think "story involving complete strangers" would be a good space too.

Mildly disappointed there was not any fan fiction.

"Picked Up Artists" and "Do you even lift bros?". A bit salty I didn't even think of those before they got said.

As far as "interesting" fetishes go, this was rather fun to listen to. The PUA bit had me in hysterics purely for the reasons shown in the spoiler above my post! Although I'm surprised they didn't go for [point to shoulders].

This applies to all fetish episodes, really, but I just feel SO bad for these dudes' loved ones. Like, taken in a vacuum, "Will you give a piggyback ride to another girl" "No thanks, I'm straight" is a completely insane response but for that poor lady that association is never going to go away.

I asked my lord why there was only one set of footprints in the sand.

He whispered, "When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

I then asked my lord why there was a divot in the sand.

He whispered, "That was when I dropped you,
Because you jizzed on my head."

Well you answered the question in the first half, but I also think it isn't a good choice for the episode. "Carry on" means something completely unrelated to the way "carry" is used here, so all we'd be doing is focusing on that word and ignoring the context of it completely (not that we haven't done that in the past, some of the episodes are surprisingly difficult to give soundtracks).

The worst is definitely Frank's reading at Live 3. I still have no idea what that was.

Also the one dude in the back yelling gently caress YEAH BRENT saved that whole reading.

Most fetishes I can somehow wrap my head around, even the really bizarre and out there ones but for the life of me I just cannot understand the lift and carry poo poo. Is it some form of dominance over the person you're sitting on or what?

It's the other way around; the carrier is the one in control. One of those video pitches that they read even made a point that the secretary would be struggling against the businesswoman lifting her.

There are also other elements to the fetish, at least according to the document:

:stare: posted:

Some people seem to get off on the dom/sub aspect of it, some just like seeing strong or muscular women, some like it because it reminds them of a parent carrying a child.

I'm surprised it's its own thing. I'd think being into piggy back rides would be an ABDL thing, or for giantess lovers (did see some of that too).

Yeah I can't say I "get" a lot of other fetishes either but this one yeah who knows. Like maybe it's like when kids want their parents to pick them up, a security thing, maybe they were riding piggyback and the genital stimulation got them hooked and their development kind of arrested, maybe there's some dominance aspect, I don't know.

If the thing is the carrier dominating the carried then that doesn't explain why so many of them are into, -specifically-, scrawny girls carrying them. Unless it's like a super-submissive thing where "Oh no! I am such a sissy boy I get dominated by a tiny woman! Spank me on the button!" Or maybe it's just a preamble to their sick-care fetish after the woman throws out her back.

This might have been the first episode where i couldn't have imagined the topic. If you asked me to make a list of all the things someone might get aroused from i'd eventually get to bugs and stuffed animals but piggyback rides would not be on that list.

Maybe it's some association with the fun of playing around? Piggy back rides are a staple of child playtime as well as older, drunker people playtime. Maybe somehow their non sex fun got mixed in with their sex fun.

I've come to conclude that most fetishes don't really have a good reason behind them beyond "weird brain wiring," so it's pointless to try to figure out how the hell that happened unless you are a Brains Scientist.

The rest of us can sit back and stare in amused confusion at the kinds of scenarios people come up with (and then write for the world to see) to indulge in their particular fetishes.

It's also worth remembering what was said at the end of the episode - that a lot of the time "fetish" actually just means "thing that makes me happy" rather than being any kind of paraphilia.

That's not what Adam was saying at all. Remember, the punchline to that bit was "...and that's how you end up loving pillows." The idea is that paraphilias might grow out of more basic, non-sexual pleasures, which honestly holds a lot more water than John's old Coincidental Boner Hypothesis.

This is the only way it makes sense to me. It may not be what they were going for but that's how I'm rationalizing it. Being carried in someone's arms? I can get behind that line of thought. Piggyback rides? Uh, well alright just don't do an Elliot Reid with it.

it's crow time again

I guess it probably has to do with the emotional stuff plus the actual physical contact involved--it's a lot of contact for something that's (nominally) non-sexual. Honestly, that side of things is harder for me to get a firm grasp on than the STRONG WOMAN PICK ME UP MAKE ME FEEL WEAK thing, which didn't show up as often as I thought it would (but did show up).

A lot of nerds trying to find ways to prolong "innocent" physical contact with women. Maybe this just grows out of a particularly nice day at middle school.

Yeah but it's really the hitching to the sex drive that makes people (say) solicit advice on how to get strangers to carry them etc.
