So I have this new guy, we've been dating for about six weeks now, and I know the #1 most important thing to him is honesty. He's told me some pretty private things about himself and none of those have been a problem for me at all, so I was hopeful that he would return the favor when I told him about the fetish.
The other night we were lying together, about to go to sleep, when I asked if I could tell him something. He said yes, and I said, "Well, I'm not sure if I'd describe it as a fetish or a kink, or just a sexual weirdness, but you know how I told you that I love the feeling of being trusted, or having someone be really open with me? It's actually a sexual thing too. I get really turned by the idea of being totally trusted, up to and including comforting someone when they're crying. I don't know, somehow the brain wires between the emotion center and the sex center got crossed in a really weird way. But I don't want you to think that if you're upset about something and need to talk to me about it I'm just going to be leering at you the whole time; that's not how it is at all."

And you know what? He was FINE with it. He said he didn't even think it was that weird. Admittedly, I played with the definition a little, but what I said was all true. So I felt a little bolder, and told him that I actually thought crying was aesthetically really beautiful, and he said, "Okay, I disagree with you there. I just find the entire act of crying to be really uncomfortable and awkward." But again, FINE. He does not think I am a freak or a pervert or even all that weird! Yay!
