Okay. I'm usually a "live and let live" kinda guy. No, really! I am! This week I got invited to a Facebook group about Fetishist (if you don't know him, don't worry about it. But you might as well stop reading here and move on.) Now, typically I would have ignored the request. I figured it wasn't so big a deal, but I was curious. I know of him here, but, well, I have no interest in his particular fondness in plastic-bags-as-sexy-clothing. So I went to look. I had to giggle. I joined.
I didn't realize that he is a Facebook Friend of mine already. He noticed the group, that I had joined it, and suddenly he's in my chatbox there all the time. I resented it at first. I felt like, Dude! You're a joke! Go away! Then I started feeling kinda guilty for laughing at him, and he made me feel more guilty. I wanted to delete my FB account and start it over.
But chatting with him some, I realized he just was like a lot of us - lonely and wanting attention.
I won't apologize for my giggling at him. Looking at his posted photos, I can't help but think "Clown!" But there are people on the Fu who act like Dom(me)s and shouldn't, which makes me giggle as well. And there are people who call themselves "sexy" in their funames, and I disagree. And I'm just some dork who likes to make smart-assed comments about others taking themselves so seriously, yet here I am doing exactly that.
I posted to that group the link to a video which was uploaded to Youboob against his wishes, and some of his pics. I don't feel bad about it - I don't think he'd mind. He seems to be proud of his fetish. More power to him. I still feel "Meh" about it. And as the French say, "chacùn à son goût" - each to his own taste.
Live and learn, and let live.
Rock on!
