Yes they do somewhat.
Should i consider telling my parents about this fetish?
Nope. Nuh uh. Negative. Nooooooooo.
I remember someone asked this same question a few years ago. I don't really see what is to be gained by it so i can't answer your question, it's entirely up to you. Though I am a little curious as to why you would want to.
I must agree with carnatic. What's to be gained from telling them? What's to be gained from telling anyone other than the person you intend to share the experience with? I for one don't understand the need to "share" with everyone. Inflation is my thing, and I prefer to keep it to myself unless there's a damn good reason to tell someone.
My answer is no. Keep it to yourself. The only time your parents need to know is if they ask.
Also, be careful of the "my parents" posts. If you're underage, that's a good way to arouse suspicion.
I don't think you mean "Should I discuss with parents the way I make sex?"
Rather - whether you should discuss with parents what you like in this world around you, what fascinates you.
So - sure, yes! ^_^
Child: so mum, dad... Remember that movie we watched together a million years ago? With that chick that turns into a blueberry? Well that gives me a boner...
Parents: you are adopted
I'll see myself out
Who the hell tells their parents about their sexual fetish?
"The kind of kid whose parents tell them about their sexual fetishes," was the first answer that came to mind, and is not something I really want to think about too hard.
+1
good post.
Not really their business, is it?
It'd be different if you were contemplating telling your partner who you might exgage sexually with, but even then the only reason you may want to tell them is if you want to experiment.
I still live with parents and they don't know about my fetish because it's personal to me.
Plus no one seems to think it's odd that a person older than 18 would talk to their parents about anything sexual in the first place. Unless of course they are younger than 18 in which case shouldn't be here.
Let's just say your fetish was "normal" like say you liked busty blondes or big booty black girls or being tied up or had a foot fetish or something like that would you tell your parents then? Prob not so why tell them about this? It's private info for you only and later on perhaps your partner.
I cannot think of a consivably good reason to talk to your parents about what kinks you're into. Man first the one asking if you tell your friends. Now one about if you should tell your parents. Where do people get these ideas? It's like asking if I should stick my head in a fire or not. No, no you should not. They will both result in very painful situations. Though for entierly different reasons. There's no reason for them to need to know that. The only person who needs to know what turns you on is someone you're in a relationship with. A releationship that has presumably been going on long enough that you've gotten to the point where you can talk about that shit comfortably. Because at that point you are most likely looking for the shit that will turn you on so you can fuck like rabbits. That or a kinky fuck buddy who's open to anything.
I wouldn't tell my parents. My children know but that's because they found a videotape of me doing it and wouldn't stop asking me about it until I confessed, the reason for that being that we were unexpectedly given a video recorder after they stopped being used widely and happened to find it. It does raise the question of when you say something about your sexuality and when you don't. Many gay people, for example, would tell their parents even though that might be seen as inappropriate, but BDSM people, I imagine, definitely wouldn't. Inflation to me is pretty close to BDSM and also pregnancy fetishism, which in turn is in my case a signal from my subconscious that I really am trans and it's not just a neurotic thing. So the question to me is always whether it's an important part of someone's identity or not. In a sense, it is a really important part of mine but I'm still not about to share it with them. I can't really not share the trans thing as I now have a girl's name and I'm in their wills!
That must have been really awkward...how did it go?
I went into it on here when it happened. Basically, my son, who was younger, thought it was a superpower and wondered if it was a secret ability we had which ran in our family. My daughter I just told, eventually, because she was bugging me about it. It was awkward for a bit but it got sorted. I decided honesty was the best policy.
Edit: Double post.
I suppose the big difference with homosexuality and having a fetish is that the former is about more than just sex, it's about love and relationships too, and that stuff you certainly can talk to your parents about. But you if you were coming out to your parents you wouldn't probably discuss the sexual element of homosexuality and you wouldn't discuss the sexual element of being into inflation either, which in my view means you just wouldn't discuss anything about inflation.
why? I dont know...but my fetishes are not "who I am", its just stuff that turns me on. And yeah, Im pretty open with my mom and we talk about sex, but I dont need to tell her and I dont feel that would make her know me better.
This seems to be a difference for me. Unfortunately, this and the other fetish, which has now gone, were central to who I was (am) in the same way as I imagine hetero or homosexuality are central to people who are like that. I feel quite pathetic and inadequate admitting it, but sadly inflation fetishism is more part of who I am than whether I fancy men or women.
Nah.
Nope.
Do you want them to give you awkward stares for the rest of your life? The answer is not only "NO" it's "HELL NO" have you ever ran backwards naked through a cornfield? It would probably be about the same experience as telling your parents about your private sexual fetish.
This thread strikes me as a bid for attention.
Depends on your connection with your parents. Do they accept who you are, and what you think?
I think I've had too much...
