Living With Fetishes
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2019 1:21 pm
So.....
I live with my parents, and for many years, I've been coping with my fetish. I realised when I was quite young, and spent a lot of my formative years learning how to deal with my fetish.
I first, was given a coat by my mother, (not in a taboo way, but as a possible coping mechanism), but spent time utilising other people's clothing as well before masturbating at school, into my teacher's coat and getting found out about it. My school were quite lenient, understanding I needed to understand what was right and wrong. To combat that, I went to counselling (Which didn't go incredibly well) and my parents recommended buying satin, that I could keep at home.
I decided to do that, and soon I was going to charity shops buying coats and jackets that I could wank into.
This, however, started a downward spiral.
Whilst dealing with the gratification of having satin to masturbate into, I was also dealing with the lack of stimulation. Whilst I have a great imagination, as I got older, and my fetish became more defined and thus less defined as simply, satin but as the idea of ruining satin/expensive/desired-and-prized-by-it's-owner clothing and what that entails, I started to move away from how I was finding stimulation online.
First, I would search "ruined coat" or something of that sort, and blog posts about moths eating people's wool/cashmere coats, or non-erotic stories containing clothes ruining, or even just reviews of landrettes and dry-cleaners would arouse me.
However, I started to discover actual pornogrpahy.
Obviously, I first found the free sites. Those stimulated me for a good long while, but the best videos, the ones that weren't amature were the ones made professionally, and those were often short in length and often clips taken from longer videos.
Soon, I found myself yearning for the ability to pay for these more expensive clips. However, living at home, and not earning yet (being still at secondary school) I couldn't.
When I went to university, I finally had the opportunity to buy pornography.
Meanwhile, I'd been buying coats and jackets from charity shops, when I had the opportunity, and because I wasn't earning much, I was constantly running out of money. This was heightened when I started working, whilst at College (not university, but college)
When I went to university, I brought with me, two jackets, and the rest I had to get rid of, because my dad knew I had a reasonably large collection, but we both agreed that my mother wouldn't approve of me spending most of my money on coats.
This didn't last me long.
I went to uni and within a month, I had scoped out the charity shops and found two jackets that I liked. I told myself not to buy them, but when I googled the brand and found out they usually cost around £200 (which at the time I considered very expensive) I couldn't resist the temptation.
Very quickly I started to scope out the charity shops more regularly, and I looked at higher quality porn.
Finding Clips4Sale made it worse because here, I had a regular stream of clips, on tap.
I also started to buy off of eBay which I hadn't been able to do before whilst living at home, and finally was able to buy coats and jackets by brands I'd noticed throughout my life, or that I specifically wanted. I'd spent a good few years curating pictures on a PowerPoint of different coats and jackets I'd found on the website that I liked or liked the stye of, and I had some coats and jackets I'd seen at school on my fellow pupils that I liked the style of, that I'd always wanted to masturbate into.
I didn't have a large amount of money at uni, and I wasn't working, so I quickly ran out, and then entered and drained my overdraft.
This started a long cycle of debt.
Unable to tell my parents about my financial situation, because of the stigma behind debt, and fearing what they would say about my fetish (which they knew about, but in my opinion, largely left me alone to deal with it) I hid it from them, whilst my other personal issues such as depression (because of bullying at school, and then furthered by my fetish and financial woes) and learning difficulties, made it another struggle for me in education.
I came clean about being broke but not about being in debt, after my first year back and didn't do much to change the financial situation I was in, over summer, only getting work and essentially living paycheck to paycheck.
I went back to uni the second year, in new accommodation and on a new course (to try to remedy my struggles with the education and my social woes) but things only got worse.
I failed first year on my new course, and struggled with my fetish again, struggled with my finances again, and now, because I was given weekly money by my mother to try to give me money to buy food (I'd spent my first winter period living off of rice and beans because I had run out of money) I used that, and an extension to my overdraft, to buy more coats and more porn.
Within that, I started to spend more than I could afford, and then started to take out a loan. I started to gamble to try to win the lottery in my naive state. Going on a trip to L.A with university didn't help as I gambled to try to make the money to go there and failed. Finally, I had to come, half clean to my university who gave me a grant.
When I got back home, I again hid everything from my parents, until I finally came clean nearer my time of going back.
They were unhappy to say the least, especially that I had lied, and I went to uni again, in new accomodation and this time back in second year of my original course.
Things didn't improve very much, although my parents had access to my bank accounts and used that to keep an eye on my spending.
My buying of coats and whatnot sorted itself out, but my education woes didn't, and eventually I dropped out of uni.
I started working in Central London at a flagship clothing store, and I've been earning steady money for the past nearly 2 years.
Up until December 2017, since I left uni, my dad had been monitoring my accounts and my spending. Things were looking up and I was planning a holiday for myself, whilst using most of my pay to pay off my overdraft and debts (both being done successfully). However, due to a row with my parents and nearly getting kicked out, that stopped and I started again, spending money on pornography, something that had been a struggle as I had problems finding decent stimulation to release the urge to masturbate.
Coupled with a larger paycheck I'd ever had, and higher spending on general things like food and films, and occasional trips to charity shops to try to update my collection so I stopped getting bored with what I had, I ran out of money again.
Meanwhile I was also now paying my parents some (additional) money in rent and my phone bills.
I took out a loan when I spent my overdraft again, and then struggled ever since. Now, I amassed 5 loans, and again got into gambling (this time betting on football) to try to pay it off. As this was easier to do, I would win some and lose some, as opposed to lose all the time (different to the lottery).
When my money ran out, I stopped paying my rent and started to use the money to try to gamble higher amounts in the hope of getting a better return.
I was just about scraping by, paying my rent, but now had to compromise between that and paying back my loans which by now, had turned into repayments more than I could afford each month, without making it obvious I had no money.
I kept lying to my parents about my money woes, especially with the ultimatum after our Dec 2017 row that if they felt I'd screwed up again, they would kick me out.
In November last year, Sunny, using contact details on file, rang my house to try to get the money I owed them. My dad picked up whilst I was at work and they found out I was broke and in debt again.
Due to continuing issues the family has faced, they've not yet discussed my future at home with each other. I've been able to set up new payment plans for my debts, but haven't yet, for varying reasons, been able to pay my parents rent until this month. I still owe my mother two months worth of rent and my dad doesn't know I've not been paying it.
My mother has been stressed all year and is now dangerously low on energy to the point in which her body is having physical issues.
Today she had an outburst in which she said many things, one part of which, is why I'm explaining this, with people that understand.
I've been trying to point out, my view that my fetish is the biggest problem I face.
Because of it, I am restricted in what I can use that stimulates me. Because of that, I have to pay a premium for stimulation, by buying coats and jackets and more importantly, by having to subscribe to specific sites and use C4S to get porn because the basic stuff on Porn-Hub/X-Hamster/Xtube just doesn't really do it for me, and whilst I am able to access erotica, and forums like this, they're not updated regularly enough for me to not overuse the content and thus get bored.
Because of all of this, I end up paying a lot of money for stimulation, and get into debt, yet I masturbate at the same rate as everyone else, and a fetish is natural, whilst not exactly normal.
I have tried to explain this conundrum I face, constantly, to my parents, especially my mother, who don't seem to get it.
They criticise me for my lack of willpower and self-discipline but don't understand that if I didn't have my fetish, I wouldn't be faced with the problem of expensive stimulation.
Today in her outburst she kept saying she does understand, whilst simultaneously trying to say "how many other people live with fetishes".
She criticised me for at times, using "Excuses and statistics" to essentially try to make excuses as to why I can't just sort myself out.
She is unable to understand that my issues stem from the fetish and not from a lack of willpower, persay.
She also clearly thinks people with fetishes can just cope with it. That we don't lie about it. That the problem of finding suitable stimulation isn't a problem and often a financial one that causes financial hardship.
I've written this, because I want to hear your voices and your stories about how the fetish you have affects your lives.
Without showing people's usernames, I plan on, when this thread has amassed enough responses, hopefully, curating these and showing my mum. To point out, that actually, this is what it's like for most of us. So hopefully she and my father understand what it's like to live with the natural urges of everyone else, but not be able to stimulate like everyone else.
Apologies for the long read, but thanks for anyone that got this far.
