You exhibit a "powerful classically conditioned response"? Woohoo, fancy!

Lol, congratulations on your newfound fame.

Agreed. I had never thought of myself as a "voyeuristic fetishist," because it's important that i'm THERE, but there's definitely truth in that label. Also, we don't want to be too down on the sadists. There's a big difference between a monster who goes out and hurts people's feelings to see them cry, and a play-sadist who engages with other consenting adults to elicit tears for the pleasure of both parties. Just sayin'

Oh, I know you weren't criticizing them. I just thought it was worth mentioning.

And it's funny, because I do have a slightly voyeuristic streak, but not in a sexual way. I just find it relaxing to listen to two other people talk, or watch people play frisbee outside my window. I'm pretty introverted and social interactions can be tiring, but I like this sort of vicarious social experience without the pressure of participating. I wouldn't have thought to connect this to my fetish, though.

I left the link in a comment (under my psuedonym).
