I had a crying dream the other night and It was a pretty good one. The next day was hard just because there was NO ONE I could tell! I really found it hard not being able to share my experience with someone, but right now I don't trust anyone with my secret fetish. I feel like if I tell my friends they will never look at me the same way again, and I'm really afraid that they won't cry in front of me.  Has anyone had this happen when you "came out" of your dacryphillia closet?

I agree, the dream thing is weird. Sometimes I'll have a really interesting dream that I want to share with a friend or family member, but I have to come up with some way to talk around the crying part. If it's too central of a part, I can't relay the dream, except to my boyfriend.

I don't have any other real fetishes that aren't just general sexual preferences, so I have nothing personal to compare my crying fetish to. My boyfriend has a fetish, but it's a "normal"/common one that just has to do with actual sex, but he was still REALLY embarrassed about it for some reason. There was this huge build-up when he told me, to the point that he was almost having a panic attack, so I was absolutely shocked at how tame it is (just a particular physical feature that he likes, that kind of thing). And he already knew about my crying fetish too! I guess he'd just been uncomfortable about it his whole life, and he'd kind of developed a hang up.
