Outside of folks I know online and maybe a close friend or two, it's a locked down secret. I'm very guarded about telling people about my DA site and the artwork I produce. No one I know of in Warcraft knows the kind of work I produce, and I do wonder how they'd react. Some of my City of Heroes friends were very positive about what I do.

A while ago, someone posted a similar topic- I don't remember now who it was, or how precisely it mirrored MK's question.  At any rate, someone commented that, by their nature, fetishes do not tend to be discussed openly- it's sort of like talking about masturbation.

This is correct – there is a difference between 'attraction' and 'fetish'.  Most people only discuss fetish (or whatever really turns them on) with their intimates.  Some of my friends know I'm attracted to athletic women.  And that's about it, and that's about all I want them to know.

Thanks for all the responses.  Not to put anyone down or the sort, but I am speaking specifically of the fetish of growth ((hence the reason I placed this thread in this subforum)).

Those of you who said you do not hide it, was there a time that you "came out", and if so how did you end up doing it / how well did it go?

Come out?

The only way I would is if I happened to get a girlfriend who was into female bodybuilding, and wanted to, or was, a female bodybuilder. 

That might be a pretty good transition, huh? 

Maybe.

No noone around me knows of my little secret fetish, and I go to great lengths to hide it. Some people just would not understand.  :-X

To be brutally honest… just some friends know. Thats it. I kinda have that crazy african family with so many older people who really cant let anything go, and cant keep their mouths closed for shit. Maybe sometime soon Ill let em know…but as for now, its just between me and some friends.

I think the closest I have come to being 'outed' was when my brother walked in while I was printing a picture of Tigersan's Lady Humonga.  He simply looked at it and said, "now that is way too much for me."  Neither of us has mentioned it since.

I have to say that this is secret. Maybe my family knows, I don't know sure. But if they do, they never mentioned it…

Most people thinks this is disgusting, and say something like this: "OMFG! WTF is wrong with you?"

I don't want this, so I keep this for myself only…

This is a sad thing, but still true… I think that the people will NEVER understand this…

Secret for me. Virtually no one knows about that i have this fetish, I'll bring it up every once and a while with some friends but they usually all freak out and go ZOMG MAN, THOSE CHICS LOOK LIKE DUDES. My dad walked in on me once when i was younger and i was looking at muscle growth vid by Annie R. and he just looked at me weird and hasn't talked about it since. I've tried getting away from this fetish cause i spend a lot of time on the pc looking for new stuff. For example, during lent i decided to give up FMG for 40days and 40 nights… i gave in the next day =P.
