BPD and Fetishism

Does a person with BPD have a better chance of having a sexual fetish?

not any more likely than any other person with an emotional/mental illness does. it depends entirely upon the individual person.

is there a reason for your asking this?

Curiosity.

Ive kinda come to terms with the fact that I am masochistic. I was wondering if there was any correlation between BPD and masochistic behavior or tendencies.

sure, i think so. i would say that people with bpd are masochistic in general. at least insofar as they are often addicted to emotional pain and drama and abuse. and they behave in ways that are really self-damaging such as self-injury/mutilation and in other impulsive behaviors that are potentially self-damaging (like driving recklessly and almost getting into an accident). so it follows that they might engage in masochistic sexual activities. but in regards to just sexual fetishes in general (and there are a LOT of them), they aren't any more likely to have them than anyone else.

my two cents. :}

I'm masochistic too.
