The prevalence of castration interest
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:48 pm
One thing I've noticed is that many (maybe a quarter to half) of all professional dominatrixes have to specifically list on their website that they don't do castration. The fact that so many of them say this, means that they must be asked to do it reasonably frequently. Then there are some who seem open to the idea, although that is pretty rare. In any case, they definitely encounter requests for them to castrate guys.
It can't be a totally rare desire.
On the other hand, what is interesting about fetishes is how we can be so into one type and so adverse to another. For example, I have absolutely no desire to be peed on, or dressed as a baby, or get an enema, etc., and yet these also seem to be common requests to pro-dommes.
My theory is that sexual urges generally need to overcome an aversion. For example, as much as I love pussy I admit that objectively they are a pretty gross thing -- a wrinkly, slimy hole. And sex generally requires you to overcome all sorts of obstacles such as meeting up with strangers, opening yourself up emotionally, risking diseases, spending money (either directly or indirectly), etc. So my point is that whatever turns us on is probably objectively something it might be better to avoid but our sexual urges somehow transform it into an desirable obsession. Then, for some of us, in addition to or in lieu of the "typical" sexual obsessions, we find something else (maybe pain, humiliation, scat, taboos like kids, animals, etc.) and somehow sexualize that. But for all the other things, we still see them for what they are: gross.
