Women Don't Have Sexual Fetishes?

A guy asked why his girlfriend wanted him to do some things, and the answers he received were insane. People called her a lesbian (not that they're anything wrong with that), told him to leave her, and one guy even suggested that it was punishment for him if he did something mean to her the past week (read all about it: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsTp_... ).

When I read it, it seemed pretty clear that she was into B&D, S&M, or possibly BDSM.

When people talk about having various fetishes, I'll join in the conversation, but I get weird comments...even if it's the same fetish everyone else is talking about (everyone else also happens to be male).

So, my question is this: why do some people find it so hard to believe that women have sexual fetishes?

Update:

@ MADDYJINX: Ugh, read the question. Sheesh. I wasn't even...wow. I just...wow. If you can't be bothered to read the details, don't bother me with your drivel.

I'm a woman with sexual fetishes and tattoos. Sh*t.

    I dated a lot of women, after my divorce in the late 70's. This was a really permissive time. I don't know why, but I seemed to attract women with fetishes and fantasies. Most were just a little more than role playing. Some were downright nasty and a turn-off. I tried to go along with them, and was usually rewarded with a great time, and repeat invitations. I think most women have some kind of weird thing they want to try. Some require it.

    It never ceases to amaze that people live in such narrow sexual worlds. Females have fetishes, males have fetishes. There is nothing wrong with exploring your sexual desires and fetishes or even engaging in alternative sexual play just so long as all parties involved are consenting adults. The problem seems to be that people are afraid of being labeled by others if their desires become known (as seen in the question). For those of us who live in the much more open alternative lifestyle, we know that there are many diferent ways to gain sexual pleasure and to give sexual pleasure, thus having better and more open relationships because of it. The vanilla world cracks me up. They are so busy judging others that they take no time to experience the variety of sexual pleasures.

    I just wonder why *this* section attracts so much of it.

    Do they just Google "women" and find this place? Is it the same person doing it over and over with many accounts? Just a handful of them? All for the hahas?

    So many questions.

    I haven't really explored YA, maybe it's elsewhere too, all I know is there's a lot of it here, and not much of it seems sincere =o/

    It's rough enough starting out, other than *wanting* negative answers, I don't know why any beginner would be *here* for advice. Just not the right place.

    Many do.

    'why do some people find it so hard to believe that women have sexual fetishes?' -- They probably wouldn't have met such women, and they're waiting to 'see it' before 'believing it'.

    That is correct. Many women have fetishes. Bianca Beauchamp is my favorite! The rubber and latex queen!

    I have fetishes. I like to be dominated or rough painful sex. I also have a fetish about a guy coming inside me without my consent I guess it's because I am by nature a stubborn and outspoken woman and love when a guy dominates me in the bedroom. I found that out by accident when one time this older white guy I was dating was trying to force himself on me relentlessly. Despite me saying no, and being highly upset, my kitty kat was saying yes. That made me so excited and wet and soaked through my pants.

    Really? You must live in rural or midwestern state because I have never heard of anyone disbelieving a woman's fanatasies or living in place where not many women have tattoos ;) I find it quite sick and shocking that this happened to a woman.

    Many of us Americans are prudes (not myself) who sensationalize sex and turn it into something nasty or forbidden, I gotta get outta here!!!

    Sexual submission, bondage, & discipline appeal to me & I'm a woman.
