I just spent 10 minutes psychoanalyzing myself....

While you are right (as in "the majority not being able to does not exclude the minority to be able to"), we need to take into account...um, I guess you could say statistics, here. If the majority cannot do something, then it is unlikely that a person you are talking to can. Therefore, suggesting that they do do it can be useless.

I can also "delete" fetishes, and I'm not Vorpy, so there you go.

I'm the most normal person ever, so if I can do it so can you.

Seriously, I'm the most average guy ever. Just look at this photo of me.

Then have fun having no control over what you find attractive, no matter how harmful or illegal it is then, the majority of everyone else.

Despite fooling around, I was actually serious about the delete thing. I don't know how everyone else finds it so hard, I think it could just be that we have this idea in our minds that these things are set in stone.

I don't know how to delete kinks or turn-ons.  I suppose you could sorta brainwash yourself out of them?

Vorpy

Self-induced shock therapy via a gag pen, or simply hitting yourself will work your mind out of enjoying it and the thrill will go away.

Or the easy way, replace your fetish with something else.

I always assumed that repressing sexuality leads to very bad results and psychological damage.

Just look at how fucked up Ex-Gays are.

Vorpy

Think of it like, trying to drive your car without gas. You either put something else into the car to fuel the engine, or don't drive the car.

^^ Being an ex-gay would sort of be more like destroying the whole car.

...I'm not too good with analogies sometimes, but I get what you're saying.

I just think that restricting your fetishes seems....not too good. Even some of my own are very odd, but I know to keep them in the realm of fiction and fantasy instead of acting them out. People aren't slaves to their sex drives, you know--not usually at least.

Vorpy

Watching things die or beating the living shit out of people until they are bloody and unable to move is generally not a good fetish to have, so I dropped it.

Vorpy

Also, forgot to mention sleep therapy tapes.

snowbull

Watching sleep therapy tapes was a fetish for you?

...where were you getting the tapes?

glennmagusharvey

I am not a slave to my sex drive

Vorpy

No, use sleep therapy to get rid of fetishes.

Record yourself hating/renouncing your fetish on a tape, then listen to it all night for around 4 weeks.
