Did you already have a paraphilia as a child?

Hmm...foot fetishes seem to develop early. You're the 3rd person I've met who developed yours before the age of five.

I've always had a thing for incest. Since 7(?) I've had a thing for bondage too.

This morning I recalled an event from the past that likely played a role in the development of my masochistic/humiliation fetish. I was 13 and I was in the locker room at school trying to get ready for gym class and I couldn't get my locker open. The rest of the class was already in their gym clothes and out on the gym floor while I was still struggling with that locker combination in the locker room. I remember feeling frustrated and anxious and at the time I needed to urinate really badly too and these combined factors of being anxious and needing to urinate was making my penis feel all tingly. I started to feel like I was about to have orgasms right there standing up in the locker room. Finally I went to urinate and eventually got my locker open but I think I associated the frustration and anxiety with a kind of physical pleasure. There is something physically arousing to me about being anxious, frustrated, and helpless.

I absolutely did. I am a plushophile (attraction to stuffed toys) and like vore (eating people alive) and these two things were always in my mind when younger. I would have my stuffed animals consume me, especially if they were puppets, pretending to be biten all over by them as I rubbed them all over my body. Naturally this lead to biting interesting places down below! I also loved references to people getting eaten in film or TV.

That's very interesting and you present a huge challenge for the field of Psychology, I don't think they can explain why you were into that at such an early age. Unless they develop a theory that paraphilias are inherited or are acquired like a disease they are stuck at square one because I think it is unrealistic for them to claim that every single person with a paraphilia was abused as a child.

and for the record I was not abused lol my background was reasonably stable

I'v had my paraphilia as long as I can remember (though not explicitly sexual). I guess my first memorable fantasy was when I was six. I had a crush on a boy in my class, and would day dream about him getting his dad and his friends to kidnap me.

nooooo idea why
