I really like embarrassment. I suppose you could call it a fetish, but I'm not sure that's the right word. There are all kinds of embarrassment. (If you want, you can stop here and simply say your own thing in case you didn't want to read my wall.)

My wall:

One broad range of them could be labeled "potential embarrassment". A good example of this would be post #2031938. Ok, so it's only embarrassment because of my interpretation, but given that, this image is laid out in a way that demonstrates 3 sources. Left: herself (her own carelessness allowed this view to happen), middle: the viewer (the viewer positioned himself to get this particular view), and right: nature (the wind, something out of anyone's control, is facialitating this view). Each one I imagine results in a different flavor of embarrassment, one element of which is her emotional skew. left: shame-embarrassed (She only has herself to blame for this one), middle: angry-embareassed (It's totally the viewer's fault for deliberately reaching for this view), and right: happy-embarrassed (This is just one of those fluke moments where there was nothing anyone could do about it, so may as well laugh it off). There are many other variations and details with all embarrassment, but I'm sure you would appreciate me not writing a full fledged novel here.

I'm uh... just going to put this here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=luPWBxIQgA8

Another example that doesn't rely so much on interpretation could be when the girl is obviously taking an action to prevent something embarrassing, but she's not reacting to the prospect. Actually, I just found this perfect example: post #1678227 Like, imagine if the wind won for a second in that scenario. :)

Then there's "direct embarrassment", or what would simply be embarrassment had I not just established the prior term. Here's a nice combo of direct and potential: post #3078315. She's clearly already embarrassed (the emotional skew being nervous), most likely due to her vulnerable state of dress, but the prospect of suddenly becuming completely naked is many orders of magnitude more embarrassing. I like this one too: post #226363. I don't know what anyone's saying, but I like that this is showing the entire process of the embarrassment which is just about as direct as you can get. I think she's insanely cute too. :3

I swear there's an adjective for this, but it's when the person is not embarrassed but should be. I saw a clip of an anime once where this girl is speaking to a crowd, and her sexual tension intensifies so much throughout her talk that she eventually can't handle it, strips and starts masturbating in front of everyone. She wasn't embarrassed while she was doing it because she was asking the crowd questions about her looks, but I imagine she'd just die on the spot once the reality of what she had done hits her. Actually, once again, I just found an example that represents this which relies less on my interpretation: post #2559959. The visual evidence of the other girls' reactions to the one on the left tells you how she should be feeling about her current state of dress but isn't. Here's a combo of direct and this kind: post #1472752. She is pulling and blushing indicating her reluctance, but she's also leaking and shaking indicating the intense sexual tension which is sort of forcing her to put herself in an embarrassing situation that she otherwise wouldn't dream of subjecting herself to.

post #233213 is an example of sad-embarrassment. post #5076555 Is that moment of shock before it really hits you. post #1941551 Girl on the left: terror-embarrassed. post #1695819 Left: angry-embarrassed, right: the moment just before the shock. post #890193 Left: "Oh crap, what am I doing?" post #1642376 This one has a level of innocence that the first comment describes perfectly. post #1020230 This one's interesting because both their reactions seem to suggest that they're really happy to see each other, which they probably are, but I think that's mostly to do with there being ambiguous blame.

...At this point, maybe I should just refer you to my favorites. It's full of examples of the kind of embarrassment I like.

Although the reason I like embarrassment so much? Well... I'm really not sure. I guess I just know what I like. One of my earliest fantasies from when I was a kid involves embarrassment. This particular fantasy actually started out as one of those daydream imaginings where I wasn't really controlling it and it just kinda happened. So it started out as embarrassment (on my part actually) which then turned into sexual embarrassment. Can I count sexiness as an emotional skew? Is libido even an emotion? I don't know...

Well, What do you think about all of this?

Edit: fixed a link

We are psychologically programmed to enjoy the embarrassment of others. Showing embarrassment shows that you are "likeable, forgivable, and trustworthy", and embarrassment is basically what makes us automatically follow basic social rules. Embarrassment becomes endearing and cute. Since cuteness is a factor often considered appealing in a potential mate, it should be no surprise that embarrassment would be one of the things often found to be "sexy".

With that said, you certainly skipped right past that point and on to where it really does seem to be a fetish rather than the normal reaction to viewing embarrassment.

That's all I really think about it.

Therapybooru thread?

That actually sounds almost amusing... if perhaps a bit scary.

I like girls blushing. In anime or for real. I am a man of simple needs.

Am subbed to Vsauce already. ^^

Therapybooru? Moar like "everyone needs to know what I fap to", business as usual. But we can turn it into a shaming thread, since it's OP's fetish. Oh, the irony.

Regarding the original post. You're clearly introducing us to your fetish. I'd call it passive dominance. Since it's focusing on a moment of weakness/inferiority, without the viewer being the direct cause for it (exception: "angry embarrassment" and nonchalance (should be embarrassed, but isn't)). One either extends a helping hand, plays dumb ("I didn't see anything"), or points with a finger. Which is your route? Perhaps you like to alternate. Either way, its a bit sadistic, since your enjoyment comes from someone's misery. All of the above leads to the following conclusion: you're a coward. That one was on the house.

My fetish is girls.

You perv.

How dirty.

I think it's simply just seeing a girl vulnerable makes her cute because she doesn't have the confidence or maturity to overcome the shame. Sexually, this under-confidence relates to a need for a "protector" which makes her receptive. Just my theory anyways.

Interesting write up on embarrassment! I think you opened my mind to a new fetish!

Thanks for the word "Nonchalance".

I still wouldn't exactly call it a fetish. I wrote at length about this one sexual thing I like, but I like so many other things, and this is such a broad topic that I decided to isolate in this one post.

Negative embarrassment is actually a turnoff for me. Negative anything sexual is a turnoff for me. I seemed to have failed to mention that or even imply it in my post. Any of the examples where it's implied they're having a bad time and are worse off as a result of the embarrassing situation, I either play out in my imagination to where that's not the case or I simply like the art and think their body looks cute. I didn't mention those things because the examples were really just to explore all of the different varieties and dimensions of embarrassment. Even though I typed a wall, I would still say I barely scratched the surface. I very easily and regularly use the art and circumstances in the images I look at as a catalyst to play with my sexual preferences. I don't strictly adhere to the implicit emotional polarity and real life analogous consequences. It's simply fantasy fuel. I didn't even post my favorite: post #1252747, as opposed to post #1252749. Most of my favorites are when the embarrassing moment can easily be turned into a happy, memorable, adrenaline inducing moment that could possibly bring us closer and lead to more exciting moments (should I choose to take the fantasy that far).

I read some really cute stories I found online of this couple who have a serious embarrassment fetish. They would play strip games and drive around nude together putting each other in vulnerable situations because it would make them both so wet. I really liked those stories. Just felt like sharing. I also just want to make it clear that I can love embarrassment without it originating from a need to dominate, which doesn't describe me in the slightest. Playing dumb and/or pointing fingers would not be something I would do and would be major turnoffs to even consider. There is no misery involved. Any misery I cause other people, I can assure you I am also experiencing.



This isn't the purpose of this thread. Well... I mean it isn't the initial reason I decided to create it. I was hoping for a fun discussion regarding this topic, or really anything you want.
