Ms. Marpie. Fetishism

When the word fetishism is brought up in conversations the imagination pictures a sequence of overplayed stereotypes: beginning from fellows in leather masks and trunks to lonely men hiding in sfore-rooms in women's lingerie. On top of these images come the memories of the ocademic course of The history of religions African tribes performing ceremonial dances beside some kind of ape like idol. Hereon the imagination sadly puffs and pops up an indicator board saying The End. But in reality.

In reality the sexual psychopathy under the name of fetishism is one of the most widespread and captivating pathologies because it varies from harmless preferences of taste to extreme pathologies. Firstly fetishism is initially divided into religious (dances and idols) and erotic, which is in its turn subdivided into ordinary and pathological categories. The erotic ordinary fetishism is a trait peculiar to any person. Any preference (blonde-haired person to brown-haired person, slim person to fat person) is fetishism because these characteristics initially attract attention despite other qualities which ore not always pleasant.

It is only later that one observes the fact that the girl with hair thick as a virgin forest has a ugly complexion and crooked legs but initially concentration was on the fetish the chevelure. Ladies smartly use the inclination of the stronger half to fetishism: beautiful legs, hair and smells rub expensive lotions into the hair, douche In perfumes, and grow thin or stout at request of the customer. Some gain advantage from the idolatrous weaknesses: there are the cases where men married ugly women only because they liked the smell of their body. This kind of fetishism does not have side effects, except for the slander of friends and neighbours. The pathological fetishism is on the other hand much more complicated and dangerous because it is difficult to draw the distinguishing border in the place where the ordinary erotic fetishist turns into a dangerous maniac, thief and hooligan.

The pathology lies In that the person separates the object of worship (again hair or eyes) from the individual as a whole, and the desire to make sex does not arise because the object of lust (eyes, hair) causes esthetical pleasure and attracts to its possessor, but because it by Itself arouses desire to have erotic contact with the object. Moreover, the object is not always related to the sexual sphere (it can be the right scapula or the patella: the satisfaction does not happen from the stimulation of genitals, but from the mani pulations with the object.

For instance, a young worker cut off a piece of flesh from his own shoulder because he got high from white women's skin and not being able to find a candidate for a donor tore a little from himself. There are of course incidents, which are not so extreme but they do demonstrate to the astonished public how Innocent whims turn into mania. One bride was shocked by the fact that her young husband, instead of rushing to fulfil his matrimonial duties on the wedding night, sniffed, patted her head and In the end fell asleep after brotherly kissing her on the forehead. He made analogous shows a few nights in a row until one day he brought a wig with long thick hair to the bedroom and as soon as the girl put on the wig, the husband livened up and the matrimonial happiness was restored.

Sometimes the woman did not want to sweat under the warm wig, but without it she could not raise the interest of her husband. She had to fulfil the whims of the captious fetishist which in addition demanded a regular replacement of the wigs due to their wear and tear in the process of child-making. The marriage resulted in 2 kids and 72 wigs after 5 years. It must be said the woman was lucky she got off with the bills from the barber's shop, but some girls suffered raping from the maniacs fetishists of hair who fancied their hair. The hair was cut off the criminals Isolated and the girls walked on streets queerly looking around. However if the parts of the body performing as a sexual object, are at least in some way related to the natural sexual act, the fetishism of clothes Is quite a different story.

A certain worker, seeing a woman's apron grabbed it and began to heatedly gratify himself. And whenever he saw someone else in an apron, be it man or woman, he followed the apron. In order to avert him from the never-ending apron thefts, the guy was sent to marine service. There were no aprons there so he behaved himself calmly. But upon coming home the tireless boy fell back into his old ways and got into a mental hospital. Handkerchiefs, furs and shoes enjoy popularity among fetishists but in the last 5 years the popularity of tights has grown.

This is understandable since the assortment of elastic Lycra tights is humongous. In the autumn-winter period, the majority of commercial reels are devoted to tights. One young man confessed that having seen a lot of this kind of commercials stopped him paying attention to the woman as a whole the space from heel to waist became most important for him, if it was in a nylon cover. The tights turned into a fetish the guy could not simply pass by a woman in unusual tights most of all he was turned on by the models with a seam at the back. He used to buy tights with the passion similar to a hypercritical fashionable woman and if he did not have enough money for the expensive models he stole.

At home he has around 80 pairs of tights: sometimes he asks familiar girls to wear them, sometimes he wears them himself. He collected the press cuttings of advertisements of tights and models in stockings from all the possible magazines and created a whole portfolio, which he views every evening. Women who wear trousers or do not use tights do not interest him much and he plans to propose to the secretary of his friend only because her profession obliges her to wear skirts with tights to work even in summer. Another man, an engineer of declining years was so shocked when his wife, after 15 years of marriage for the first time put on stockings with stylish garters that he now wears elegant stockings under his trousers himself. He says that the woman in stockings made a strong erotic impression on him, and when he feels cool nylon on himself this gives him strength and inner energy.

Girls did not pass by stockings fetishism as well. A 32-year-old woman working as an accountant in a large corporation found herself in a nightclub on the show of transvestites. The sight of young built guys in female clothes, moreover in colored stockings turned her on so much that one of the performers was squeezed into the first available corner that she came across and literally raped him. Still the sight of a man in tights or stockings puts her in a state of sexual euphoria.

According to researchers, clothes fetishism is a heavy heritage of culture and fashion. They supplied women with artificial sexual peculiarities, the lack of which in a naked woman might have a repellent influence. The sexual attraction in many people is aroused earlier than they have opportunity and ability to have intimate relations the early erotic fantasies revolve around a dressed object of lust. If any factor hinders the normal development of sexual life, the association of sexual arousal with a dressed woman (or man) led to preferring clothes to people.

In this I see the negative influence of advertisement. Local television often shows reels, which advertise female sanitary remedies and goods. For this reason, dear parents keep an eye on what your children are watching. It is a well known fact that girls follow the example of heroines of carfoons or advertisement reels and boys the heroes of computer games. There is no doubt that they influence the yeasty psyche of children. In increasing frequency, one can see haggard thin teenage girls on the streets many of which do not hurry to have children from fear of losing the slenderness (or thinness?) of their body.

In Tashkent, men disintegrate slowly, since there are no sex-shops with ersatz women in the city. On the contrary nightclubs and restaurants offer a large selection of show-programs (see column Dining Out on page) from innocent oriental dances in see-through clothes to undisguised erotic demonstrations. This is normal since the admiration of the grace of the female body is in the blood of an oriental man.

Women who left abroad a few years ago (for example to Russia} complain about the lack of attention to themselves from the side of the stronger sex. In Uzbekistan they got accustomed to the rapt comments and complements from men. Only in Central Asia a lady would hear: M-mm, gul asal! or Shlrin kizim! which means Honey flower! or Sweet girl! I do not hear that any more. My years have passed. The lack of compliments in the streets is a signal for many women but this means that the time has come to start taking care of your appearance go to a gym, beauty parlor or swimming pool. (Read on page 32 about Spas and you can find the list of beauty parlors on page 25). Well this peculiar session of the Men & women club has come to an end. 5ee you next month.
