## I Have A Theory...

Perhaps we all (or a majority) of us are born with something in our genes that makes us like TUGS, or perhaps it some sort of change as a young child? Any thoughts?

Reminds me of research about "gay genes" and such ...

Whether psychological and personality characteristics are inherent or acquired is an open question. Open as in no conclusive answer yet. The human mind is complicated. We hate that, but there's nothing we can do

Bondage isn't really a "natural" thing so it's probably something we pick up while growing up. There's probably a gene that would make someone more receptive to it but I doubt there is one that will code you to be into tying up from birth on.

it is not having to do with genes, each human has 23 sets of chromosomes and NO more. we have identified all the chromosomes, and we have identified all the genes, if there was a difference in our genetics, it would be something having to do with how our higher brain functions, and that would have been detected at birth

This whole thing goes back to Nature vs. Nurture. Of course, at this point, we all agree that a bondage fetish would come from the nurture aspect. As to why I have a bondage fetish is for a lot of reasons and it is complicated, but it goes back to age 4.

Haloguy: Whilst the Human Genome Project may have discovered our genes, and some of their controls, they still have questions whether or not genes control certain things I.E: Sexuality, or in this case Fetishes. Perhaps hidden inside these genet was all I implying, but yes you may also be right.

Another attributing factor I find is siblings. I have two sisters one I have noticed traits of being into or liking TUGS (9 years), the other with no such feelings. I also hear stories of siblings both into TUGS.

Well, that doesn't really say anything in favor of either theory. Siblings share not only genes, but also environment and upbringing. They are exposed to similar, but not equal experiences, so you can't rule this in favor of genes either.

As a child you are given a coke to drink you either like it or you don't like it. It has nothing to do with genes.
Maybe someone tied you up or you watched someone be tied up. Perhaps you watched a movie where someone got tied up. You either like the idea of being tied or being the one that tied someone up or you didn't like either of the two and you don't do or think about bondage at all. Logically speaking I doubt there is a gene that causes you to like or dislike bondage.
Just like a gene that causes you to like the color red better then the color blue. It is what you decide you like or don't like. If it were a gene that caused you to like bondage or dislike bondage then wouldn't everyone or most everyone in your family enjoy it too? I know it is not the cause at all. Logically speaking that is.
Treat others as you wish to be treated. Having said that I will not sit idly by while someone is disrespecting another just because they think they are better than everyone else.
