    My last cat…loved armpits. Anyone’s armpits. If you were laying down he’d come pretend to cuddle up, then slowly inch his head into your pit over like 5mins. Then after a few seconds of sniffing his ears would go flat back, eyes rolled up, lips peeled back and make this snuffling grunting noise that you’d associate with an old man sniffing a young girl’s panties. He’d start drooling and quivering and his tail would be all over the place…and you just kinda had to let him do his thing for at least a few minutes or he’d try and attack you.

    It really made the first time a new partner slept over awkward when they’d wake up in the middle of the night being perved on by a giant grey tabby…

    Any kink that’s associated with a preoccupation towards a natural body part that everybody has is a vanilla kink.

    In the grand hierarchy of the internet, this is basically a vanilla preference. People acting like it’s a ‘Level 99’ boss are definitely overthinking it.

    I have next to no sex drive so essentially any kink sounds absolutely crazy to me. When I took that bdsm test I got 97% vanilla lol

    like idk if I’m ace or not because I dont dislike the idea of doing it with someone, but like my drive to do it is really low compared to how other people describe it

    I’m also on estrogen, progesterone, an antidepressant, and 2 different kind of anxiety meds and they are probably a factor worth mentioning

      Plenty of ace people feel completely neutral towards sex, not actively disliking it. Some ace people even choose to have sex occasionally because their partners enjoy it, and they personally do not object.

      Ultimately whether the label fits you or not is your choice, but there may be a community of people who share your position.

      Yeah all those meds can have sex drive impacts, so that’s definitely going to muddy the waters, but you need your meds so it kinda makes your medicated state your status quo. I’ve got ADHD which has it’s own sexual complications and antidepressants as well and I feel like sex isn’t particularly important to me, like I’ll have it if it’s going down, but not bothered if it’s not. But for me it’s like I almost wish I cared more? Like I miss the days of being a dumb horny teenager but just a fleeting thought, along with the rest of my fleeting thoughts… SQUIRREL!

    I think it’s weird. Like, people who enjoy this are obviously in the minority… At the same time, I would never judge anyone with this fetish, I wouldn’t even think about it or bring it up. Who the hell cares what consenting adults do!?

      visual and smell for me. if i see a dude out and about wearing a tank top i cant help but look at his pits area and think pls raise your arms for a second and give me a pit slip + wonder what they smell like, lol. thankfully i have a bf who is down to do whatever i want so i’m free to sniff and lick his pits as much as i want.

      It’s mostly visual for me. Like when a woman lifts her arms, it makes other things more appealing, so there’s an association there.

      On the lucky occasion I’m with a woman who doesn’t shave, I just want to pet it, like if I could pet a squirrel. Like, what even is this? It’s so rare and adorable.

      Anyway it’s times like this I think I should have an alt account on Lemmy.

        Okay that was gonna be my follow up. Guess I’m glad people are starting to lean back towards natural body states.

        Yeah I kind of miss the discussions people would have back when internet forums were a little more anonymized. We’re trading that for some other values so at least rest assured there’s a non zero amount of people here uninterested in going through your post history for possible arm pit related comments.

      I like to lick them. It’s not like a huge must, but if my face happens to be in that area and the arm happens to be raised to allow access, eh why not.
