Male vs female interest is color-coded. Sample is skewed towards males. Shame that we don't have the original data.

richard3 57 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Seems like omo is more of a male interest. No wonder it's been impossible to find a GF who's into it or willing to try it. Altho,as you say, the respondents skewed towards male. Quote Link to comment
wannawatch 255 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Great to see some data on this! Thank you for sharing. I do wonder how much 'anonimity' the questionaires contained,as that may influence the outcome quite a bit I think. Quote Link to comment
Maxxyboy91 34 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 This is really surprising to me. The way I’ve heard people talk I’d assume feet to be more taboo than pee. I’m also assuming everyone who took this survey is straight bc I know this would look v different if gay folks took it Quote Link to comment
Kez 374 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Inanimate objects is less taboo? So society thinks it's weirder to pee your pants than wanting to fuck a lamp? Quote Link to comment
Storytime 122 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Rapeplay being a strong female interest doesn't sit well with me... maybe it's because I know too many survivors? But other than that... Yeah, we're a bunch of weirdos. I'm okay with that. Surprised Ageplay wasn't further to the right actually. Quote Link to comment

farseladosso 278 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I had a gf who would masturbate to rape fantasies, but she did not in the least want those fantasies become real. It is not clear if the question of the poll refers to fantasies or to real sexual preferences. I think that there will be considerably more people who are turned on by fantasies on pants-peeing than people who actually do it. Quote Link to comment

siku 42 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 The topic has been discussed quite extensively in the reddit thread so reading it can give some context.

Could it be that because that kink has become more mainstream there are more people expressing that they consider it taboo versus other kinks that aren't as known?

It is not clear if the question of the poll refers to fantasies or to real sexual preferences. On the reddit thread it was implied that it's about fantasies, or consenting beforehand but pretending that it's without consent. It would be like fantasising about wetting yourself in public, or making someone else wet themselves, but not actually doing it. Quote Link to comment
JackedUp 541 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Initially I found it a little demoralizing to see that people are more favourable towards incest roleplay than to omorashi, but since it's labeled as "urine" I can imagine the respondents' first thoughts being getting peed on or even drinking pee instead of just people wetting themselves. I'm sure if omorashi was rated separately, its favourability would be a bit higher. Quote Link to comment

Rape play is typically acting out rape fantasies between consenting adults—that’s why it’s “play.” Rape play without consent is just rape, and nobody wants that. Quote Link to comment

I’m also assuming everyone who took this survey is straight bc I know this would look v different if gay folks took it The annotations do say they only included cisfolk data because their transfolk sample size was too small. I think it's safe to say that after tossing the transfolk data, they're working with data from a strong majority of heterosexual folk.

The annotations do indicate that "inanimate objects" was very broadly defined and those results should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, as others have noted here, "urine" is a very broad category. I'd argue that regardless of the lumping together of all fetishes involving urine, the meaning is clear and to the extent that any of the data in the study is representative, the "urine" category represents anyone who took the survey and has a kink that involves pee in one way or another. I'm also inclined to think that the data is accurate because it squares with my experience - a pretty uncommon, majority male interest. Quote Link to comment

I'm sure if omorashi was rated separately, its favourability would be a bit higher. It also doesn't address how there's different interest in urine, and not everyone into this fetish is into all of them. Just off the top of my head, our interests (which may or may not be what poll respondents thought of when answering this) include: Holding it, Wetting (accidental & on purpose), pee drinking, Golden Showers. The most well known of those urine kinks is probably Golden Showers.

I think part of it may be that foot fetishes have gotten more attention in the media over the last 10+ years, so it doesn't seem quite as weird as it once was. By contrast I've never so much as heard any urine fetishes even mentioned in the news.

Just a theory, I think part of it is because it's basically a more extreme form of Male Domination, which is also popular with the female respondents. Female submissive also scored higher with women then men. And like others have said, just because you enjoy someone dominating over you in the bedroom and pretending to rape you doesn't mean you'd actually want to be raped in real life. A lot of people love video games like Call of Duty, but it doesn't mean they'd ever want to join the army. Quote Link to comment
StNick 6 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 There's probably a significant selection bias too. Quote Link to comment
