@chrisker-week Day 4 : Truth Or Dare

TIPPLER

Tippler, "Dusk to Dawn in the life of a Man-about-town, as shown by twenty-six different scenes, each decorating a letter of this tippler alphabet," was created by an anonymous designer sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s. The set is reproduced in ABZ, edited by Julian Rothenstein and Mel Gooding, and published in San Francisco by Chronicle Books in 2003 (an earlier edition was published by Shambhala in 1993 as Alphabets & Other Signs).

I know most people who have fetishes and kinks have at least some amount of shame if they are ones not mainstream or accepted.

But compared to our sibling* kinks: snz and eructo and our adjacent* kinks: emeto, stuffing, and inebriation; we seem to have the least active communities and seemingly the most shame and embarrassment when it comes to sharing or admitting our kink.

I might be completely misreading the situation, but the recent poll got me thinking as most people stated that the snz kinksters had more content and community, and it seemed to be more acceptable (though by a TINY margin).

Why do YOU think hiccup kinksters are so much shyer/not as active and have less of a community than other kinks? Is it simply a lesser number of individuals like hiccups? Or is it the nature of the fetish itself?

*"sibling" and "adjacent" categorizations are all my own opinion, not a factual or accepted label.

“But let us imagine RIGHT NOW that we find out about a world where there are artists who paint without brushes, make music without instruments, and write without pen and paper. The very thought makes me happy. That this world could be ours, right here and now.” ― László Krasznahorkai

Blackout drunk, to ensure Whumpee can’t argue Whumper’s recollection of events?

Mildly tipsy, to encourage Whumpee to divulge secrets they otherwise wouldn’t?

A social drink only, so that Whumpee feels more connected to Whumper?
