Nature vs. Nurture

Postby bottop » Tue Aug 19, 2014 2:06 pm

Since I've been into this since as soon as I could manage to wrap a belt around my wrist, I happen to believe this fetish is very much Nature. That is, genetic.

Now, I have kids. When my daughter was as young as 5, she was already "trapping" people in prison, cuffing her brother with fake cuffs (behind his back no less), tying her shoelaces together, and wrapping her hands into blankets.. Of course she's never seen me and my wife at it, nor seen it happen on TV.

So, yeah, I think it's very genetic, and transmittable, and maybe even a dominant trait.

Wait.. That means at least one of parents likes this too. Umm.. So, anyway.. Ignoring that.

Her brother likes to be pinned and tickled. And he's SUPER ticklish. SUPER. I fear for him!

Anyone have thoughts on nature vs. nurture here?

I've been into it since I was 4. So definitely nature.

Maybe but there are people who drink beer whose parents are alcoholics who do not be drunk. So, maybe the same principle applies to tugs.
You will have to subdue me to restrain me. I been a bad boy so make sure you torture me too with anything but pain.

It's definitely hard to get information on something like this, since you'd not only need to get someone to blab about their fetishes but then you'd need to do the same with their parents/kids. You'd also want to test fraternal/identical twins in order to differentiate between genetics and environment. Needless to say, you're not working with a very big subject group and getting people to talk about it in the first place is difficult already without adding their relatives to the mix.

There are however, a multitude of behaviors that have large genetic components, so I'm not surprised to see that it could be passed down. It's nice to see confirmation of this, especially as you said she's pretty young which tips the scales towards the nature argument. I know that I too had an interest in bondage before I fully understood what it was, so it was more a matter of discovering rather than developing an interest in TUGs.

Based off of your idea I would tell you then your daughter will become a sexy dominatrix (which I thank you for) and your brother probably has spent many nights with a ballgag in his mouth.

Dont think I havent already thought about that. It raises all sorts of difficult questions.

Do I teach her so she does it safe? Given the extremely sexual nature of this to me that seems just icky.

Do I look for signs and then ask her?

Hell what if she finds this site eventually?

Anyway... should be interesting watching her grow

It would probably be best to leave it alone for now and let her do her own thing (how old is she anyway?)
As for if she finds this site I wouldnt worry about that.

Interesting question, as always. It's certainly possible.

^ Yes, wait awhile, let her develop a bit more. However, you may want to bring up safety eventually, and do it so that she feels like she is being treated like an adult. Responsibility begets more of the same.
