The Weird Things People Do

My older cousin was a scout in Viet Nam. He sometimes talks about how your normal can become different things, like how sleeping in a hole and waking up to rats trying to eat your toes becomes commonplace.

I can see stuff like that being a real problem, especially when you have to be on your toes.

The most rank feet I’ve ever seen in person was at the bottom of the Grand Canyon at Phantom Ranch campground.

Some poor fool at the campground asked me for moleskin. He hiked down in converse Chuck Taylors with a bunch of car camping gear and an 18 pack of Bud Light he was cooling off in the river. Big old 6 person Coleman tent. It was July with ambient temps of over 110. His feet were completely blistered. Oozing all over.

I didn’t get a good whiff, that’s not my jam, but I imagine they had a lot of character for an aficionado to take in and appreciate.

Nobody told him you can buy cold beer at Phantom Ranch and he seemed amazed that we didn’t have tents and just slept on pads. His pack was easily 80 lbs of stuff he didn’t need.

I’m sure he had a miserable hike back up, unless he managed to get a really strong buzz going and keep a good pace.

Legend has it he’s still there to this day … after he discovered he could just buy beer down there, why would he need to hike back up?

Dry feet are a big deal for serious hikers, too. You don’t want to be on the Appalachian Trail with rotting feet and nothing within 40 miles of you.

I’ve also worked where diabetic foot care is a thing, so I know they (or their doctors) take it pretty seriously, too.

Feet, man. They don’t get the props they deserve. I’m glad they have @theBeth in their corner.

Fortunately my husband is ok with this as I trim his nails and keep his feet softer than a baby’s bottom. So when I take a whiff he doesn’t mind. Feet can tell you a lot about the person without seeing the rest of them. It’s the most naked part of the body next to genitalia. The best smelling feet in the world is baby feet. I should have been a podiatrist.

Ahem…

Creepy.

I feel like this is the right thread for that.

Totally not creepy.

Not my thang, but not creepy.

Nah. Well within bounds.

The nurse I dated though… WOAHHH.

Way the hell out of bounds. Actually can’t even elaborate due to site standards.

Her milder kink was a medical bondage/teeth and dental pain fetish.

One of my female friends has a certain kink as well. But your girl is a bit more extreme. lol

Sex is a funny thing.

Yeah. Once past the pee-pee stuff it’s more about trust, intimacy, and shared experience though. (imo)

Is there anything about baby feet that isn’t amazing?

Good point!

Like what they say, the brain is the most important sex organ.

I’m not kidding you man, there are men in this world (I’ve met them) who are literally capable of getting off of a mere HEAD. It doesn’t matter if it’s their girlfriend’s head or a gay guy’s head, if it’s a working head with tongue and saliva, they can get off of that. Might be TMI for this forum but I feel I should share it. It proves my point. The brain is the most important sex organ.

(Edited. Read again please)

Whew my fetish isn’t sexual at all. Just a bit of m personal weirdness.

I can vouch that all nurses are crazy, hence I won’t even get into that one.

I should clarify that I have a long history with crazy women, one just happened to be a nurse.

I like crazy/quirky wierd. And they seem to like me too. :+1:

As we are on bedroom topics. I completely blacked out our bedroom a while ago. This meant I could not make out my wife in the dark, not even an outline/shadow of her.

So I wondered if it was just my poor eyes, I asked the wife who also said she could see nothing but can you really trust these things? Maybe I can’t see means I can’t really see but I can a little.

One day we bumped heads and this was enough to convince me that we indeed could not see each other at all.

So now, for reasons completely beyond me, every now and again I will pull a stupid face during late night fun times :cowboy_hat_face:

Get a blind fold for her. She’ll love it (probably) and you can make all the faces you want and get to see as well. Take away one of the senses heighten the rest type of thing. Very fun

Crazy is putting it nicely. But at least they’re not as bad as midwives. The most conniving, back stabbing, angst filled lot I’ve ever had the displeasure to know.

Yes tell me more about how enraged you are at the fact that much of obstetrics was developed by middle aged cis white men in early 20th century who didn’t have uteruses. Yes please continue to vicariously extract your revenge against patriarchy via treating me like shit. Bunch of goddamn angels.

Oh, boo! on you. Nothing creepy about it.

My wife loves the smell of new tires. Like she wanders around tire stores sometimes and has looked for ā€œnew tireā€ cologne.

It’s not the kink itself that mildly creeped me out. It’s her casualness about it. I have friends with their own kinks and fetishes and I don’t see them casually talking about it everywhere. lol

And really, I wasn’t being insulting. It was a neutral comment. Just my observation.

And really… I’ve been with a group of people before who consider the very act of premarital sex to be taboo. That was a bit extreme, but coming from that, I got stunned by that post of hers.
