My answer is yes and my answer is no, all depends on when I would get the choice. Ask me now, no, I've come to terms with the realization that there are both good and bad aspects of my being a mud fetishist. Everything I am is so entwined that having the fetish just disappear would take away some important things in my life but give nothing back in return. For instance, I've in amazing physical shape from the weekly ordeal of visiting mudpits yet have dropped to less than a 10 minute workout pumping iron per week. Take away all that exercise and I'd end up loosing muscle mass and be sittin' in a couch in no time. And, worse, be constantly lamenting all the choices I missed in life to do different things and be a totally different person. Never had to worry about those choices, the mud fetish largely determined so many of them. So, in essence, saying no is all about being reconciled with and satisfied with my life and who I am. I wouldn't want to take that away.
Ahhh, but should you have in some way have been able to ask me the same question when I was a teenager in such a manner as for me to be able to understand what the consequences of having a mud fetish would be in life, I'd have instantly said yes! I'd rather have had all those choices. If nothing else, I'd have rather of at least had the opportunity to overtly choose my fetish instead of having it unconsciously chosen for me, I'd have chosen something cheaper, easier, more common, and with more mainstream acceptance that wouldn't make it so difficult to find a female who would participate in it. But I'd opt for no fetish at all above all as the main problem with being a fetishist is that it alters the way you interact with and form long term relationships with females. I'd have rather had a loving relationship with one or more females than have been a self centered fetishist.
Well said.
I recently wrote to someone, explaining some background to a current situation.
I said something to the effect of; "It's not like there's a guy standing there with a clipboard when you enter puberty, asking you if you would like an oddball fetish to deal with afterwards."
