Sorry to post another topic so soon. I'm sure I'll cool down after this, I'm just glad to have a place where there are like-minded people. (Can you tell I feel self conscious and don't want to make anyone mad?)
I'm just feeling really alone in my weirdness right now. I'm sure some of you can relate. On the outside, I seem so normal and together. I'm pretty, well-dressed, lead a mostly successful life. I grocery shop and clean the house and cook. I have hobbies, a relationship, a pet. I make money. Inside, while I'm not unhappy, I'm just such a freak.
I find myself feeling dirty and ashamed and wishing that I had a "normal" fetish like feet or BDSM. Since admitting my crying fetish to myself a while back, I've started to explore myself and realized that I have other kinks as well. For example, wetting.
I won't go into detail about that/those unless asked, since this is a crying forum, but they all involve good looking guys being somehow infantilized or feminized. Not directly, like cross-dressing or adult baby stuff, but subtly. That's why I like snotty crying. I like to see beautiful, powerful boys (not particularly physically powerful, as I like average-sized men, but emotionally powerful... psychopaths, rich boys, very charismatic extroverted boys who get what they want) reduced to childlike messes in my arms. Or better yet, one another's arms. M/m hurt/comfort is my favorite.
I feel so messed up and wrong even typing that. Men hit on me and ask if I'm kinky. And I am, but in all the wrong ways. My partner is sexually conservative and I know my fetishes put him off. Crying is the only one he knows about (he actually helped me come to terms with it initially), but I tell him about the weird stuff I write in fanfic and I can tell he's really put off. I'd never cheat on him and I love him dearly, but I feel like my fetishes are bursting through my skin trying to come out.
It's just so weird. If you're into, say, bondage, not everyone will be into it with you, but all but the very conservative will support you in letting your freak flag fly. But the stuff I'm into... you're thought of as a total weirdo. Sick. Creepy.
Have you ever struggled with feeling like this? How did you find an outlet where you could explore your weirdness in a safe, happy way?
Thanks for letting me vent. I have nowhere else.

I personally, told my partners and my friends that i like men crying. My pals understand it as a fascination not necessarily sexually related since i don't come off watching guys crying. I just feel an upsurge of energy or a drop/ fly fluttering in the stomach area when i saw crying scenes. It's a bit addictive but more powerfull is the feeling of awe and esthetic pleasure when there's a beautiful , intense, crying scene on display in a movie, mostly if it's acted out by someone who doesn't seem an actual emotional guy for some reason.
Guys i told about this were slightly amused and weirded up but kept crying to themselves even if on that ocasion they told me when they cried last time or what makes them cry. It only amounts to a discussion and that's why i don't see it dangerous after all... The only real fear i have is that as long as a guy finds out about this he might try to manipulate me or subjugate me through his tears. This is the reason i don't want to talk extensively about it as being a fetish to a guy who might indulge my fetish. Mostly i don't even think i might indulge it with a real person, i'm happy in my cinematic crying world where there's this momentum where you can actually watch ''a character'' living a dramatic story and crying and where you are the observer.
In real life i rarely have the ocasion to watch closely a man crying, it's even more rare the opportunity to comfort him so i didn't experience it. I don't want to infatilize a man or feminize him , i just don't like the pressure men put on themselves to supress their emtions and mostly those that make them cry. It's this shame and repression i'm attracted to and i want them to release it and show vulnerability full spectrum as something healthy and normal..
I'm bothered by the fact that i hunt for crying scenes or for such moments in oder to get my dose, i think i try to overcome a lack of emotional intensity in my real life by doing so, yet that emotional intensity that i crave is beyond my reach.

I don't know what you mean by wetting, but if it means what I think it does, then it's an interest within BDSM, and so is crying. Chances are if people don't think BDSM is creepy, then they won't think your fetish is creepy either. My wife is sexually conservative too, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her. I used to feel ashamed and distressed by this as a child, but took comfort in the fact that I was always a bit "weird" anyway (shy, reserved, absent-minded, small number of friends), and this was just another part of the weirdness. I suppose you can't really use this thought because you see yourself as quite a normal person. I don't really feel too bad about it as an adult. I used to jokingly tell myself, "she won't like you" "why?" "because you're a sick little pervert", but I've never taken that thought too seriously. Anyway, it's not my fetish that drove all the ladies away screaming In my case the fetish doesn't actually halt or stunt my sex life and relationship, which I think would be the main problem. There's no denying that it's abnormal and frowned upon, but it doesn't have to interrupt our lives, and certainly doesn't interrupt anyone else's.
I certainly relate to your type of thing. I also like it more when strong women or female authority figures cry (with their lip curled, of course). Hence the reason I especially like to see sportswomen, professional women, female politicians (the good looking ones), female cops or soldiers cry.

It seems like for a lot of us, the thrill is in seeing less vulnerable people (on the outside, anyway) break down.
As for weirdness... you'd be surprised. I was always a quirky kid, very theatrical and dramatic (I've acted since the age of ten), and into ghosts/cemeteries/horror/the supernatural. I had friends in grade school who accepted me, though I moved in middle school and it was hard; I was bullied for being different. High school got better as I found more of my own kind. These days, in my 20's, I still have a bit of a gothy style and I'm a little nerdy, writing fanfic and trying to make it as a performer. But I work a normal job and all in all, I'm not a person on the fringes of society. I see myself as normal but quirky, I suppose. Which is fine with me!
My sex life is decent. I enjoy plain old sex, too, but more and more lately I find myself craving fetish fulfillment. Some degree of privacy within a relationship is healthy, I think. For example, I know that my guy watches porn now and then, and I'm okay with that. He knows that I write hurt/comfort and dirty fanfic, and he lets me have that private space. I'm just hoping to strike a balance between having my own private space and having so many secrets that it creates distance between us. I'd love for him to cry for me, but he's an extremely logical person who I've seen cry all of twice (ask about THAT sometime!) and he's not comfortable with it.
And yes, wetting is what you think: wetting the bed/your pants. Like I said, I won't get into it much here, but I like it in a hurt/comfort context rather than a torture/BDSM one.
Thanks for letting me ramble, everyone, I actually feel better now. This is a new journey for me, but I'm sure I'll find the balance I seek! I think most people, if they really had the courage or honesty to look inside, would find that they're into "weird" stuff.

Could you use any of that to trigger the emotions during your crying scene?

Quite possibly! But I mainly think about times that I've mistreated people I love. Nothing brings the tears like guilt...

took me years to come to terms with myself. Hope you have an easier time. Having a fetish (or fetishes) doesn't mean you aren't a terrific person. I wish you all the best.
